โThe bathroom doesnโt need to be the most boring and plain space of your house! Now we all seek a calming space speaking to stylish comfort. There are so many quick and easy ways to make your bathroom more glamorous!โ says Justine.
Top DIY tips for a decadent bathroom (that won’t break the bank)
1. Upsized Tiles โ Use large floor tiles and repeat the floor tiling as a feature wall to create a modern and glamorous look bathroom. This also makes the space feel seamless and consistent.
2. Gloss Away โ Choose a darker colour or gloss finish for your floor or feature tile to create a luxurious feeling, as they are less stark and more welcoming then just standard white tiles. A darker tile will make a feature of your vanity or bathtub, as there is contrast so anything white will stand out.
3. Tap Ware Feature โ Make a statement! Consider matt black, gold or rose gold tap ware for an on-trend statement feature.

4. Neutral Palette โ Opt for a neutral palette so your bathroom wonโt date quickly. A modern feel can be achieved by using straight lines and you can introduce items such as a square bath and rectangle floating vanity.
5. Floating Design โ The โfloatingโ design element is popular with vanities now and it a great way to create the illusion of space when paired with a large mirror which sits flush against the tiles.
6. Oversized Mirror โ An easy and affordable way to enhance the sense of scale and space in the bathroom.
