Make your bathroom a PRETTY SANCTUARY with these four BEAUTIFUL IDEAS …
You might have to share your bathroom with others but that doesn’t mean you can’t impose your feminine imprint on its design and decoration. Certain details can declare a uniquely feminine sensibility and banish a utilitarian feel: Would you like a soft colour on the walls? Is there space for a dressing table? Could you hang a painting over the wall (perfectly possible if it’s encased in glass.) Do you like your towels hung on hooks or bars?
What about a soft slipper chair, a pretty rug, a full-length mirror? How much storage space do you need? Where will the hairdryer live? Is the lighting – chandelier, sconce, recessed – flattering? These questions are answered in Barbara Sallick’s inspiring new book on bathrooms and powder rooms.
1. LUXE EXTRAS, seen above:
Accessories in an all-white bathroom add luxury to its simplicity. Glass, silver, ceramic, metal, textiles, vintage, or new, every addition will add a dimension. Here, the gilt-framed artwork adds just the right amount of feminine glamour.
2. TEENY TINY BATHROOM DECOR:
Focusing on colour and pattern, the downstairs loo is the perfect place to go crazy. If you get bored with it, you can redo it with relative ease and at not too great an expense.
3. IT’S ALL IN THE PLANNING:
Sallick’s bathroom accessory sketches illustrate how every little detail counts.
4. TIMELESS STYLE:
This bathroom combines vintage and contemporary objects and fixtures with a soft, Scandinavian palette and dashes of glamour to create a timeless feel.
