Design and decorate: Beautiful bathrooms

Everything you need to know about creating a beautiful bathroom

A glamorous bathroom is the ultimate indulgence in any home. Go for all-out decadence or opt for a more pared-down, modern approach. ‘The fabulous thing about bathrooms is that they are a great place to escape to, but you don’t have to be in there 24/7,’ says Lesley Taylor, interior designer and design director at award-winning design company Taylor’s etc. ‘This means you can be braver with your bathroom than you might be in the rest of the home, and it’s the perfect space to go for full-on glamour.’


A beautiful tub, carefully chosen tactile surfaces, clever lighting or opulent accessories can all help to create a bathing space fit for a goddess, and the good news is that glamorous shapes and finishes are right on trend. ‘When you stay in a wonderful boutique hotel, one of the first things you do is go and pamper yourself in the bathroom,’ says interior designer Shaun Clarkson. ‘Why not make it possible in your own home, every day of the week?’


So whether you’re lucky enough to have a big bathroom (and budget to match), or funds and space are more limited, we’ve put together a host of ways in which you can beautify your bathing space and make it the most gorgeous room in the house.
