Short On Storage? (Image 2 of 15)
Put the basin to good use by doubling up with pull-out drawers underneath. The wall-hung look helps make a small room feel larger, too. Kalahari double basin, Roca.
Starting From Scratch? (Image 3 of 15)
Ask your builder to carve a niche out of the wall next to the bath (wall strength and materials permitting, of course). You’ll soon have a handy mirror and somewhere to stash the soap. Bath and basin, Colourwash Bathrooms.
Create A Home Spa (Image 4 of 15)
If you’re lucky enough to have a huge bathroom, make the most of it with a luxurious freestanding tub in the centre of the room and create a spa-like feel with polished marble walls and floor. Crema Marfil marble, New Image Stone.
Lay A Rug (Image 5 of 15)
We always say that carpets are a definite no in the bathroom but rugs are another matter entirely! We love this bold stripy number that shows off bare wooden floorboards beautifully. Wild Thing rug, Alternative Flooring.
Use A Veneer (Image 6 of 15)
Exotic wooden veneers emerged as a top kitchen trend for cabinets last year and now it’s filtered into the bathroom, too. Check out this ebony veneer design with its sleek matt black stone worktop. Modulnova furniture, CP Hart.
Splash On Colour (Image 7 of 15)
How many of us stick with the tried-and-tested white colour scheme in the bathroom? Colour can be contemporary too, as these fresh green mosaics show. Godmorgon washstand, Ikea.
Choose Natural Accessories (Image 8 of 15)
If you do favour the clean lines of a white scheme, add warmth with a natural bamboo duckboard, bath rack and trolley – it turns a clinical look into a classic. Bamboo accessories, Marks & Spencer.
Use Visual Trickery (Image 9 of 15)
Mirrored furniture was another exciting trend last year and it’s the perfect material for bathrooms. If your room is on the small side, you can afford to paint an intense colour on the walls, as the mirrored surfaces will help create the illusion of space. Mirrored collection, Marks & Spencer.
Go For An Unfitted Look (Image 10 of 15)
We love the modular effect of freestanding furniture, especially as you can take it with you if you move! Sonoma Light oak furniture, Marks & Spencer.
Go For Monotones (Image 11 of 15)
Black and white never goes out of fashion so by choosing a white bathroom suite, you can easily update the look season by season with swanky new accessories. Monaco accessories, Next.
Make The Bath The Focus (Image 12 of 15)
Make your bath the focal point – even in a small bathroom you can do this by creating a feature wall behind it with a strong paint or tile colour and by framing it with mirrors or pictures. Aqualoc flooring and sanitaryware by B&Q.
Frame The Bath (Image 13 of 15)
Find an organic shaped bath, then put it in front of a wall of beautiful tiles. Jura bath, £2,995; Andalucia tiles, £2.50 each, Fired Earth.
Look For Eye-Catching Angles (Image 14 of 15)
Creating a modern look within a period or country style interior? Choose angular pieces that contrast with their setting and accessorise with dramatic pieces. Element bathroom, Roca.
Incorporate A Wet Room (Image 15 of 15)
Divide the room to hide an open shower behind a false wall that can house a sink, loo or bath on the other side – that way you get a family bathroom and a wetroom in one. Photo: Forbo.
