Property

Second only to kitchens, a recent survey revealed that bathrooms were one of the most popular rooms for homeowners to renovate. Why? A few reasons. Sometimes it’s to add a personal touch to a new home, for some it’s because their bathroom has deteriorated into a state and for others it’s simply because they’ve been inspired by a design they’ve seen. Regardless of your motivation, there’s always a design that suits both you and your home. Creating amazing spaces that relax the soul is all about making the most of the size and shape of the room. Whilst some can be restrictive, you’d be amazed at how much just a few alterations can transform your bathroom from a cold and dingy cave into an escape suitable for a spar. And the best news: size doesn’t matter (luckily!). Size doesn’t have to impact style. Yes, whilst we can’t all have a free-standing bath in the centre of the room, clever use of light, materials and mirrors can produce results often way more impressive that originally thought. Styles ranging from traditional to contemporary, these vibes come from the design and don’t need grandiose elbow room for drying your hair. Short on space? Floating vanity units or possibly built-in storage could make the difference between a cramped bathroom and a modest bathroom. Maybe you’re after a vibrant feel. Feature walls, vintage patterned tiles are proving extremely popular at the moment as they can bring bathrooms walls back to life. For those of you who aren’t exactly sure, wooden effect or large neutral coloured wall tiles are often the best places to start getting your creative thoughts flowing. For those of your seeking a little touch of luxury, perhaps consider a free-standing bath or frameless shower. www.robertsmillerredshaw.com
