Organic

Go for tiles in earth tones and simple accessories to create a harmonious, spa-like setting. Contrast bevelled subway tiles and luxuriously shaped finishes with starkly linear elements, such as towel rails and cabinetry, to balance the sense of natural symmetry in the space.

Classic

Achieving a tastefully Victorian washroom is a case of balancing elements of design and colour. Minimalist modern touches are the perfect accompaniment to metro or arabesco tiles or a curved console basin in porcelain. A monochrome scheme is most effective here.

Colour

Introduce bright accents into your bathroom through coloured-glass shower panels for a playfully retro look. Streamlined sanitary ware and accessories with the latest technology, such as hidden floor drains and concealed cisterns, will keep the space feeling current.
