BATHROOMS & KITCHENS
" By sticking with neutral colours throughout the rest of the room , and keeping accessories to a minimum , the shower can become the focal point , bringing attention to an otherwise understated space ."
GO BOLD
“ While there ’ s a lot to be said for a tranquil scheme in the bathroom , it is also a great place to experiment with colour and pattern . Don ’ t be afraid to mix and match different dark hues to add depth to the space . The versatile nature of colours such as black , maroons and dark blues means they can be combined to create varying moods into your bathroom scheme .
“ Adding a pop of colour is another way of creating vibrancy in a monochrome bathroom – introduce a statement wall , such as sunshine or pastel hues , and combine with black and white tiling and a black shower kit for a statement aesthetic . The joy of this approach is that you can change the wall colour if your taste evolves , without the more permanent elements of your bathroom needing to change .
BIOPHILIC DESIGN PAIR WITH METALLICS
“ Bringing natural elements into interior design is a big trend at the moment and can provide the perfect partner for bathroom styling that incorporates dark colours , helping to breathe life into the space . Complementing darker features such as a black shower and taps with organic elements like wood finishes and plants can create a balanced and relaxing atmosphere that provides the perfect environment for much-needed relaxation at the end of a busy day .
“ When opting for bold fixtures and fittings , forest , sage and jewel-toned greens work well on surrounding walls and accessories to create a natural feeling .
“ Complementing black with metallic colours like silver , gold and copper can add a touch of glamour and create a luxurious looking space . Black is a dominant colour , so incorporating metallic accents through accessories such as mirrors , brassware and towel hooks can create harmonious balance .
“ When using metallics in this way , ensure the scheme is consistent throughout the space – including your shower cubicle . Opt for a shower kit that continues your theme , such as Triton ’ s ENVi electric shower , which is available in copper and silver finishes , as well as black .
