BATHROOM notebook Everyone needs a bathroom so you might as well make it look half decent! • A vintage claw-foot bath can make a great focal point for your bathroom. Paint the bath using some waterproof paint and give it a two-tone colour scheme we went for a black and white scheme for our bathroom. • Candles can provide great ambient lighting for your bathroom. Keep them beside your bath so you can have some quick and easy lighting if you’re looking to relax. • Just because it’s your bathroom doesn’t mean you can’t decorate it properly! Keeping some potted plants works really well, but don’t put them on counter tops. • Always use the full height of your walls. Keep a towel rack above your toilet or squeeze some storage above the door. • Sticking to two or three colours for your bathroom will always work a charm. Don’t let the palette get too overwhelming and you’re on the right track! 61
