A Hint of Pink

This month we give bathrooms a makeover by adding a splash of pink; bringing a sense of femininity, playfulness and romance to your home A Hint of PinkCONTINUED OVER THE PAGE

Pink can be a daunting colour to play with in your home. The thought of using the colour can instantly bring visions of a Barbie boudoir. However, done right, you can turn certain rooms into a harmonious setting, with a hint of daring playfulness.

Pink is thought to have a soothing effect on an individuals mood; ideal for sinking into a deep bath and relaxing. There is even a shade of pink called, “drunk-tank pink” that is sometimes used in prisons to calm inmates. something a bit more daring. Here are some examples of how to do pink right without turning your room into a bubblegum nightmare.

Pair pink with a darker colour such as a dark grey or navy blue. This will balance out the femininity and neutrlise the colour pop of the pink. The main on the previous page shows the Haze Freestanding Bath from Waters Baths of Ashbourne in a light pink. The contrast to the dark blue wall compliments the youthful pink colour of the bath, balancing out the tones perfectly. The bath has an elegant and timeless shape designed to complement any modern or period bathroom. Black fixtures and fittings Simple black features can compliment the softness of the colour pink. Use strong geometric shapes and clean lines to factor in timeless elegance and a sense of Japanese serenity to your bathroom space. Think monochrome with just a hint of pink.

Dramatic walls Pink tiles such as the Showerwell Scallop Blush Tiles pictured over the page are a bold way of introducing pink to your bathroom. A full wall of cascading pink tiles are a sure fire

way of adding drama to the showering space. Showerwall is a fast and hassle free alternative to tiles. The panels have been engineered to create a mechanical locking system that provides seamless, almost invisible joints. The lightweight panels are available in a range of sizes for maximum flexibility. Scallop Blush is part of the Tiles Custom Collection and can be produced with any image of your choice for the ultimate personalised bathroom.

For an all over dramatic effect for your bathroom, the Marinace Rosso Brazilian Granite Slab from Cullifords is a beautiful way to turn your bathroom into a real showstopper. Specialising in fine quality stone, Cullifords supplies this spectacular statement granite against a deep red background with different types of rocks set in a matrix that have travelled down a river. A statement piece for the hardy of pink lovers.

Pink accessories If a bright pink feature wall isn’t for you, you can still add smaller items with a pale pink tones to your bathroom. Plastered polished walls with a peachy hue coupled with metallic fittings is perfect for those wanting a subtle finish. Or add smaller accessories like this Ren Soap Dispenser and Storage Set, with a matte pink finish and, brass details (right). Ren’s a luxe take on Nordic styling. This 4 piece set contains a soap dispenser, tumbler and lidded jar, all on a matching tray. For another twist on the subtle pink features, try this abstract shape design towel in beauitful muted colours with fringed edge. It adds a contemporary Skandi feel to your bathroom.

Wall art should not be forgotten when it comes to redecorating your bathroom. A statement piece with hues of pink running through it, could be the ideal way to update the look of your room without going the full splatter of pink. A monochrome bathroom with the addition of your favourite colours as the seasons change, could be a cheaper and effective way of adding the spark back into an uninspiring bathroom. A small bathroom painted pink, surrounded by ecletic artwork, can give the room a feeling of style and elegance, leaving a strong impression to those entering.
