Bathrooms are some of my favourite spaces to design. Below, I share the five styling tips I always return to when creating these rooms.

Be confident with your ‘bold’ feature. Once the space is complete, you will regret the things you did to play it ‘safe’. This could be as simple as a stand-out bathroom vanity bench top in a beautiful finish like Artedomus’ Travertine Cruvera.

Design your space for you. Everything dates eventually and a space that feels unique to you will last much longer than an all-white-home designed to suit the masses.

Choose warm hues. Homes should feel calm, inviting and cosy, it shouldn’t feel like a dental clinic (unless that is the feeling you are going for). I love colours like At the Drive In and Dawn Patrol by Tint — neutrals with a bit more character.

Find the piece (or pieces) that you feel an emotional connection to, and design the space around that. It could be an artwork, a favourite tile, or a beautiful hook for your towels — inspiration can come from anywhere!

Find the character moments and maintain them. Character creates charm in our communities and tells a story, stripping that away is slowly creating mundane cities.
