Our Bathroom Design Ideas

Your bathroom should be your sanctuary: a relaxing space that allows you to unwind and leave the stresses of the day behind. However, if your bathroom is beginning to look like it’s in need of an urgent renovation, it may start to cause you even more stress.

So, why not embark on a new DIY project and give your bathroom a new lease of life with our bathroom design ideas? Whatever your layout, interior design style or bathroom inspiration, we have a solution for the suite makeover of your dreams.

Before you get started

Clutter, empty bottles and threadbare towels and a relaxing and beautiful bathroom suite don’t exactly go hand in hand. Before you start picking out bathroom tiles and choosing bathroom fixtures, be sure to have a de-clutter of empty products and thoroughly clean your space to ensure you have a sparkling blank canvas to start with. Put plastic bottles, cleaning products and other unsightly objects away and replace old towels with fluffy, enticing new ones.

If you’re looking for aesthetically pleasing alternatives to branded soap and shampoo bottles, you can always decant your products into re-useable dispensers.

Refresh the grout

It may not be one of our most glamorous decorating ideas, but it is easily one of the most effective. If areas of your bathroom are looking tired, a quick refresh of the grout can work wonders to lift the overall look.

Use a grout reviver to instantly make the bathroom feel fresh and new again or try a coloured or dark grout for a dramatic transformation. Dark grout stands out against white and pale tiles, which can emphasise their shape and pattern.

Switch up to a spacious shower bath

If you’re after a slightly wider bathtub, shower baths offer extra standing room without impacting valuable bathroom space. If a wet room isn’t a possibility for your space, a shower and bath combination is an effective option that’ll blend in with your other fixtures.

Whether you’re partial to a white bathroom or prefer a space with a little splash of colour, we have a range of showers and baths available in an assortment of colours and styles.

Change up your colour scheme

This is one of our favourite bathroom design ideas! Embrace another exciting new colour palette with a fresh set of bathroom tiles, a brand new wallpaper, or a lick of paint. Whether you’re looking for something minimal and refined, or you’re a fan of the boho-chic look, or you’re into bold hues and loud patterns, a new colour scheme can have a huge impact on your bathroom. By choosing bathroom accessories that complement, your colour scheme will truly sing.

Create new storage solutions

If you’re fortunate enough to have a large bathroom, this could provide an opportunity for a stunning, freestanding piece of furniture. From toilet and sink units to cabinets, every member of the family can have their drawer or shelf for their bathroom essentials.

Useful bathroom storage doesn’t have to be reserved for large spaces. If you have a small bathroom, we have a range of vanity units and bathroom mirrors cabinets that provide ample space for toiletries. You can opt for slate grey for a contemporary look or choose a more traditional finish with white or wicker styles.

Equally, if you prefer a streamlined look, a ladder shelf is a great way to add stylish storage to ensuites, downstairs cloakrooms, and family bathrooms alike and will fit into a modern bathroom floor plan seamlessly.
