Go for simple bath shapes
The latest bath designs focus on clean lines with minimal detailing, but opt for a tapered bath tub rather than an angular model. Use wall or floor-mounted brassware to achieve uninterrupted lines.
Choose fabrics in country colours
Dress the bathroom in subtle shades of sky blue, duck egg and denim. A Roman blind in a swallow pattern and a stool covered in a striped fabric create a relaxed atmosphere.
Provide plenty of storage
Fitted furniture provides invaluable storage for bathroom toiletries, plus it can conceal unsightly pipework. A wall-hung loo keeps the floor clear for an uncluttered effect.
Relax in a spa room
Turn a bathroom into a calm retreat with shutters at the window and a wirework chair. Towels with a pretty butterfly motif are the perfect finishing touch.
Stash away toiletries
A pretty washstand is the ideal place to store toiletries and cleaning products. This one incorporates a handy drawer as well as cupboard space. A basin with a flat top provides a place for display and toiletries.
Create a bold effect
Label the bathroom with smart oversized lettering. The letters tie in with the painted bath feet, while neutral tiles in a mosaic arrangement soften the effect. Add small touches of colour with pink accessories.
Put in a grand shower
Above a freestanding roll-top bath, a shower with a large rose and a circular shower ring provide a stylish showering option. A pedestal washbasin and a Lloyd Loom chair finish the room in traditional style.
Opt for pared-down style
In a small room, opt for a modern country look with a bath surround, wall and floor tiles all decorated with slate effect tiles. Natural, varnished woodwork and black and white prints are in keeping with the simple design.
Use paint for a rustic effect
The wide wood boards of this bathroom panelling are given a wash of pale paint (protect against splashes with a varnish) to tie in with a painted bath.
Bring in pattern
Add a homespun feel with a poppy stencil along the side of the bath, a cheerful flowery blind and antique lace shelf trim. A wicker armchair makes the space feel lived in and loved.
