 The thought of redecorating your bathroom can be quite overwhelming. From shower enclosures and ceramics to colour schemes and finishing touches, it’s tricky to know where to begin! So we’ve teamed up with Bathroom Brands to provide you with lots of bathroom inspiration, from contemporary schemes to luxurious bathrooms, with advice on how you can achieve these looks in your home.

The Traditional Bathroom

Traditionally-styled bathrooms remain a popular choice for many homeowners and designers due to their classic look and timeless appeal. To create your own luxurious, traditional bathroom, pair an exquisite freestanding roll top bath, such as the Batello from Burlington, or the Balthazar from Clearwater, with ornate panelling in soft muted tones, for an effortlessly grand traditional interior.

Black in the Bathroom

If you’re looking for a traditional bathroom with a twist, then Burlington’s latest range, Jet, is the perfect choice. Aptly named after the precious gemstone found along the Great British, North Yorkshire coastline, the capsule collection encapsulates the deepest blackness and high gloss qualities of Whitby Jet Stone.

Guaranteed to make a statement, Burlington’s most popular ceramics are now available in a glossy black finish so you can create a traditional bathroom with a difference. If black ceramics are not for you, but you’re still wanting to achieve a bathroom that brings in elements of this on-trend shade, then there are plenty of ways to add a touch of black to your bathing space. From black indices on brassware to wallpaper and tiles, there are a variety of options that will work with your chosen interior. For a bold, stylish scheme, pair matching high-shine ceramics with dark tropical wallpaper, or for a more lasting look, combine black ceramics with block coloured walls, which can easily be painted when trends change.

Contemporary Colour in the Bathroom

For a more contemporary approach to bathroom design, Britton is the perfect brand for you. With a variety of affordable products for the modern home, Britton provides a comprehensive selection of sleek ceramics and brassware along with a range of versatile storage solutions. Due to its modern style, Britton works perfectly in contemporary, colourful settings. We all know that colour influences our mood, so with the trend for colour in the bathroom growing, why not embrace it and opt for colour scheme that will make you feel happy and uplifted. Pastel shades of pink and blue are perfect for creating this feeling, so create a fun interior and get creative with colour. Combine sleek white ceramics with compact furniture solutions and add contrast by pairing with black brassware and accessories to complete your colourful bathroom.

Scandinavian Bathroom Style

To create contemporary aesthetic, but with a more luxurious, Scandinavian feel, pair a beautifully elegant freestanding modern bath from Clearwater with a minimalist interior. Add touches of natural wood with muted soft colours and neat surroundings for an immaculately tranquil and spa-like bathing space. Made from the finest materials and crafted by hand, each contemporary bath from Clearwater is guaranteed to make a striking statement, leaving you with a showstopping bathroom to be admired.

We asked NYMAS specialist Brad Culmer, a respected influencer of luxury hospitality design, for his essential tips…

Premium Styling for Accessible Washrooms: Think Finish

Brad explained that accessible bathroom products have changed beyond recognition. This means good news for anyone choosing washroom items for projects designed to create an impact.

“While they are still the right choice for many projects, the days of chrome or plastic being the only choice for items like grab rails and shower seats are very much gone.

“Instead, take a look at the finishes such as a stunning matt black, gold effect and brushed aluminium available from the NYMAStyle range. A selection of prestige finishes are available through the Fitzroy of London Gosfield range too.”

In short: For head-turning bathroom projects there’s no need to compromise on attention to detail when accessible products are needed. Explore the range of finishes available to make every item bring style to the room.

Premium Styling for Accessible Washrooms: A Must-See ‘Insider’ Tip

The NYMAS Director, who is globally recognised by top hospitality brands for his design knowledge, shared one tip everyone choosing accessible washroom products should see.

“It’s simple: look for innovation in the products you choose. Why? To find out if there’s a new way of thinking you could then use to make a washroom better, more effective or better value.

“For example, a removable grab rail can still bring high-end style and finish to a washroom with the advantage of being easily taken out of the room temporarily or even permanently if the property is being sold and a non-accessible bathroom is preferred.”

Think ahead to consider if accessible washroom products will always be needed in a room, or even if they’ll be removed temporarily, to factor this in to your choice of items.

Premium Styling for Accessible Washrooms: Think Big

Brad added that taking a look at the ‘big picture’ first then matching every detail will help create a washroom both accessible for all and designed to impress.

“Using inspiration from places like ELLE Decor’s 2020 bathroom trends, decide which colour choices, tile finishes and overall looks stand out and work backwards from there.

“You’ll notice that every celebrated design includes important details like brass fittings. Having your overall in vision in mind then making sure every detail works hard for the overall appearance will give a perfect balance.”
