Our current summation of the chicest bathroom colour scheme is quite easily expressed: pink + grey + a pop of white = fabulous. Who knew that adding deep grey and rose pink tones to fresh, classic white would result in a look that feels so upbeat and sophisticated? Combine a variety of towel textures – from plains to jacquards – for extra visual and tactile appeal.

The easiest way to make your bathroom look sleek and organised is by decanting hand soaps, shower gels, body lotions and more into smart, clean-lined dispensers.

It’s a universal rule that you can never have too much storage in a bathroom – but you also want everything to be easily accessible. A very clever and stylish solution to this dual set of requirements is a set of fabric storage “baskets” in various sizes, which are as good for stashing a stack of clean face cloths as they are for keeping cosmetics or medication safely (and neatly) tucked away. 

Keep your bathroom feeling fresh and welcoming all day long by making sure that it smells lovely. The simplest way to scent your space with subtle and continuous fragrance is by using a natural reed diffuser, although scented candles and room mists work well too

No bathroom is complete without a couple of candles – and we don’t mean for load shedding purposes! After all, at the end of a cold and stressful day, nothing quite calms the nerves and soothes the spirit better than a quiet, candle-lit bath.
