Your basin, toilet and bath. Your bathroom suite: Its white, its acrylic, its easy to clean, but it still feels a little sterile. Having so much white sanitaryware in your bathroom can result in a slightly clinical atmosphere, so how can you inject a little tactile appeal, a little sensory stimulus back into the room? Well look no further; here are my top tips for a comfortable, cosy, characterful bathroom.
Bathroom furniture has had a huge resurgence in popularity in the last few years, and its comeback is still going from strength to strength. After a decade of sparse, minimal bathroom design, designers and suppliers have taken heed of the demands of the public and now there furniture solutions available in every conceivable size, shape and finish.
Cabinets with a natural wood finish can make a huge difference injecting character back into your bathroom. There are dozens of different wooden shades available, from lighter woods such as oak and pine, through to rich, dark hues such as walnut and ebony. There are also many cabinets available that are created from composite materials such as MDF, and then finished with a wood-effect veneer.
When aiming to keep your bathroom light and airy, lighter woods will usually be your best option for furniture, whilst still soften the harder aspects of your white bathroom suite. For example, oak, the most popular current bathroom finish, is a hardy material, that will stand the test of time in bathroom conditions, especially when treated with moisture- and water-resistant coating.
An oak fitted basin vanity unit, alongside an oak freestanding unit, or wall-mounted cabinet, will cater to your storage requirements, allowing you to keep your surfaces clear of the various toiletries, cosmetics and cleaning products that tend to accumulate in all bathrooms, whilst creating a more personal and inviting aesthetic.
Of course, there are other great ways to create are more homely atmosphere in your bathroom after furniture. Natural stone tiles are really popular at present, for two key reasons: They are particularly dense and so offer a high level of water protection, and each tile will subtly different from every other, with individual grains and marbling, to create a rich, opulent looking result. Many modern bathrooms also feature white painted walls; opting instead for a light pastel shade will subtly warm and soften your room, whilst retaining the sensation of light and space created by light coloured walls.
Achieving a bathroom aesthetic that is light, airy and fresh, yet still inviting, tactile and full of character can easily be accomplished by simply making a few small and subtle adjustments, such as the changes mentioned above. Why not have a click around and try to find the perfect way to complement and upgrade your own bathroom? Enjoy!
