Styling your Bathroom: Everything You Need to Know
We all know the difference between walking into a public bathroom versus an exotic spa stay, and it’s surprisingly easy to achieve the later within the confines of your home. Your bathroom is the place you go to set yourself up for the day and unwind at the end of your day. It’s where you bathe, enjoy self-care practices, maintain the health of your skin and hair, and generally relax. And it’s not just you that enjoys your bathroom – guests will spend time there settling in when they’re visiting or staying with you.
Despite how important our bathroom is to our daily routines, it’s often a place that receives the least TLC when it comes to styling. You might have left your bathroom as an afterthought, but we’ve got things covered. We’re sharing tips and tricks to help you style your bathroom so that it fits your personal style, functions efficiently and maximises the atmosphere you want to achieve within your home.
Keep reading as we share everything you need to know about styling your bathroom and creating a space that feels welcoming each and every day.
How to Style a Bathroom
Often bathrooms are the smallest rooms in our home, so it pays to keep your styling minimal to ensure things feel light and spacious. Given the space constraints of a bathroom, it’s unlikely you’ll be adding many furniture pieces – this means colour and texture are your go-to design elements for maximising style. To get started, it’s worth considering the colour palette that already features within your home. It’s a good idea to continue this colour into your bathroom to create a cohesive aesthetic. Also, consider the colour and texture of your bathroom cabinetry – they may feature coloured panels, timber or stone. Modern bathrooms tend to be composed of a combination of white, grey, and black, whereas older bathrooms typically have feature tiles with varying colours, like blue, green, or pink. For a heavy grey presence, we recommend bringing in a warm-tone hue, like mustard, rust, beige or brown. For pre-existing colours, simple white towels or matching colours go along way in creating a bright, playful space.
Modern, minimalist bathrooms aim to look clean and airy. Using white as a base colour with neutrals like grey, black or brown as the accent colour will give you that modern look and feel. Bright, colourful tones like blues, pinks and greens can be used to style bathrooms with a less formal result, leaning towards trends like bohemian or eclectic.
Once you’ve landed on a colour scheme and style, the fun part starts – finding your bath linen and accessories.
Styling your Bathroom with Bath Linen
Bath linens creates softness in a bathroom, a space typically dominated by hard, cold tiles, sinks, and taps. Everything from flannels, bath towels, hand towels and bath mats fall under the umbrella of bath linen. If you’re feeling a spa retreat vibe for your space, you might even like to go for a lush, oversized bath sheet!
Now, although we want our linens to look lovely, it’s also important to choose bath linen that is high-quality and soft to make your experience using them relaxing. There’s nothing worse than rewarding yourself with a warm shower after a long day only to wrap yourself in a tattered, thin bath towel that has seen better days. Your bathroom is the core of self-care, so investing in quality linens will ensure you’re feeling on cloud nine after that long bath soak.
We pride ourselves on offering a range of quality bath linens to meet any style needs. You can shop our range of towels & mats here, and our bathrobes are an excellent touch to any bathroom. Not only do they add to the colour palette you’ve chosen for your bathroom, but they are the perfect thing to throw on after a pamper session.
Styling your Bathroom with Accessories
Now we’ve got your bath linen sorted - it’s time to talk bath accessories. Bathroom accessories add personality and style to your bathroom without compromising on space. Think of accessories as the final touch to perfecting your bathroom space – after all, when it’s the place that you start and end the day, you want to feel good spending time there.
Some of the more common bathroom accessories you can customise to your personal style include shower curtains, toilet roll holders, soap dispensers, product trays and more. A great tip for choosing accessories – try to match them to your accent colours and make them a true accessory, rather than attempting to hide them.
We’re excited to help you create the bathroom retreat that you’ve always envisioned. No matter your personal style, we’re sure you’ll find just the right accessories in our high-quality range to fit seamlessly in your dream bathroom space. Some of our absolute favourites include our range of diffusers – they’ll look divine on your vanity and add a gorgeous fragrance (of your choosing) to keep your bathroom smelling fresh.
Time to Style
So, you’ve ordered your favourite bath linen and favourite accessories - you’re ready to create the bathroom of your sweetest dreams!
Get those gorgeous bath linens on display and hang them on your towel rack. Pop your bath mat in front of your bath or shower, so it’s ready to go. Let your inner stylist make over your vanity with all your gorgeous accessories – you want this area to be both beautiful and functional. And lastly – enjoy your space. Light a candle and jump in the bath to read or have a long, hot shower and just relax. It’s entirely up to you! In case no one ever thought to tell you, we’re also here to offer some friendly advice on things to maximise the cleanliness of your bathroom state:
- Always hang up your towel & bath mat after use to give it airflow, helping it dry faster and preventing any unwanted musty smells.
- If you have a fan, turn it on while you’re showering! Condensation on the walls and ceiling can lead to mould faster than you think.
- Avoid fabric softener when washing your towels. It can build up on the fibres and lessen the absorbency. Instead, try using half a cup of cleaning vinegar to kill bacteria and keep them soft.
- Try using a soap-dispensing sponge scrubber to clean your shower as your shower - it's a great way to prevent mould building up on your tiles and it's much less messy work.
