Spend a night on the tiles. If you love to linger in the tub at the end of your day then make it the focal point of the room. Make a pretty path to your bubble bath out of some terrific tiles, like these colourful patterned ones. Continue the tile path up the wall behind the tub too, to give it a real sense of grandeur.

Bathe on a bed of pebbles. Many modern luxury bathrooms have adopted this idea of placing the bathtub atop a bed of pebbles. The natural stone works well with a botanical theme and wooden elements.

Don’t have a bathtub to put on the pebbles? No worries, a patch of pebbles under the vanity works well too.

Placing a bathroom basin at window doesn’t mean you have to miss out on a vanity mirror. Mirrors can also be ceiling mounted, or suspended on a horizontal bar across the window pane.

Don’t cling to the borders. Typical bathroom layouts place all of the facilities neatly against the walls of the room – but what if you created an extra internal wall? By building up a solid dividing wall across the shower, and placing the bathtub against the other side of it, entirely new zoning is achieved.

It’s all about the atmospheric glow. Even the simplest, coldest looking bathroom schemes can be given a special cosy glow by installing perimeter lighting. Be sure to fully recess LED strips for a clean and subtle effect.

Sliding doors opening onto a courtyard not only makes you feel closer to nature but also provides great bathroom ventilation.

You can plant a small garden right inside your bathroom too.

Vertical gardens are a great option for those who aren’t blessed with a garden view, nor have space for an internal courtyard.

Create a focal point with wall planters. These circular wall mounted planters pattern a plain white section of the room. The living greenery brings a freshness to the decor scheme, and balances out a colourful border of tiles.

Don’t be shy with colour. Bathrooms do not have to be the most colourless room in the house! Check out this pink and green decor for inspiration. A pink vanity sings off a green leafy print backdrop, whilst the pink bath stands on a green tile floor. The modern open fireplace is worth a special mention too – imagine the hours soaking in that tub watching the dancing flames.

Another pink offering – this time looking pristine in pastel pink and pale grey.

You can colour with light too – in fact, colour-changing LEDs offer you the opportunity of changing your colour scheme on a whim, and at the single touch of a button.

Break down the boundaries with an open plan ensuite bathroom. Many modern master bedroom designs now feature bathroom facilities with no dividing wall. It’s also en vogue to link the ensuite with a deluxe walk-in closet/dressing room.

If you do go for an all white scheme, be sure to add some base notes to beef it up. Black framework and faucets cut through this plain white bathroom to add interest…

…Pushing the black theme a lot further gives a strong and solid look.

Use concrete to add industrial edge to your modern bathroom design. A concrete bathroom may sound like a harsh look, but introducing curvaceous furniture, warming wood tone and indoor plants will soften the look.

Textured feature walls transform an average space. This same bathroom scheme without the extruding stone wall would still look nice for sure, but it would have nowhere near the same wow factor. Be sure to add focussed lighting to really accentuate the installation.

Play with scale and shape in your bathroom. There are vanity mirrors, and then there’s THIS: One giant round mirror spans the width of two pedestal sinks; it also plays on their unique cylindrical design.

If copper is your cup of tea, then let it overspill into your bathroom. This traditional style roll top copper bath and modern copper pedestal sinks make a deluxe team. Smooth grey tiled walls counteract the heat of the shiny copper tone.

Kids bathrooms can be a challenge to get right. Traditional bathrooms are not the stuff that kids dreams are made of – in fact, it’s really hard to get them in there most of the time! Use bright colours and cute character accessories to get them running to take a bath and brush their teeth! Who could resist turning on a banana yellow faucett anyway?
