A dark and cramped interior can make a boat feel uninviting and unappealing. If you’re sitting below deck surrounded by dark wood and with little natural light, and the vibe is about as good as a cold dungeon, you want to know “How do I make it better than this?”. Now while a boat’s primary function is practical — stay afloat, keep us safe, transport us from A to B, it’s natural as human beings (especially if you’re living aboard) to want to create a homely space that feels good too. How do you do that in a small boat so full of personal items, cruising gear and boat systems? The great news is there are clever and easy ways to revamp your boat interior so it feels more spacious.
And while most of us have to balance the budget and prioritise boat jobs, I’m here to reassure you that you don’t need to feel guilty about investing time and money in making your home onboard enjoyable to relax in.
The happier you are below deck the longer you’ll want to spend onboard — making the time, sacrifice and effort all worth it. Something I can confirm after completing our first yacht interior makeover . To maximise your living space the key areas to focus on are organisation , colour , fabric and lighting . Below you’ll be guided through each of these elements. With a little creativity and some strategic thinking, you can use these easy visual tricks to transform your boat.
Clear clutter and get organised
Pick a light colour scheme
Paint the walls a light colour
Consider painting the ceiling white
Select light coloured upholstery
Play with texture
Add strategic lighting
Ditch the curtains
Hang a statement mirror
1. clear clutter and get organised.
First of all, clear out all the visual clutter and get rid of anything you don’t need. This might sound obvious, but you’ll be surprised how much you accumulate over time, and how much space you can gain by having a good clear out. My Marie Kondo boating philosophy is if you don’t love it, and it doesn’t save your life then it’s up for grabs. Organising your boat can be a can of worms, as sorting one cupboard turns into having to sort another — the next minute the whole boat is pulled apart but it needs to be done!
Sort out gear into collections of boat things that make sense together eg: Wet weather gear and laundry things, tools and spare parts, food storage, clothes, bedding, charts and navigation tools.
Donate anything decent to a local thrift store
Recycle as much as you can
Use plastic containers, small jars, ziplock bags, baskets and vacuum storage bags to keep things organised.
Challenge your Tetris skills to pack gear away into logical spaces around the boat — using all your cupboards, lockers and sneaky spaces to keep things orderly, secure and out of sight.
Take the opportunity to wipe out cupboards, dig into the dark corners of lockers and get rid of dust, mould and any funky remnants of past life onboard. Having a clean boat will keep you healthier onboard and cleaner surfaces reflect light might better.
Tip: Use white vinegar and a dash of warm water as an excellent cheap and natural cleaner to cut through built up dust and grime.
Once your interior space is organised and clean, it’s much easier to assess what you’re going to do next and move on to update the colour scheme.
Another easy way to help your boat interior feel more spacious and airy is to choose light, cool colours or delicate warm hues for a colour scheme. Choose colours in the same family and incorporate a tone-on-tone look across your walls and upholstery to create a more open feeling onboard.
A local paint store will be able to work from the Pantone codes to create these colours for you.
Painting a lighter colour throughout your boat will reflect natural light and onboard lighting. The higher the gloss finish of a paint, the more reflection you’ll get. I recommend a semi-gloss paint finish like eggshell or satin which reflect light while hiding any slight imperfections in the surface. Older boats often have a dark wood interior with heavy layers of varnish. It is entirely possible with the right preparation (and yes, some hard work*) to sand back the varnish and repaint the surface in a colour of your choosing. If your boat has a lot of dark wood you don’t have to get rid of it all. You may just select a few key walls to paint, and retain some wooden features to keep the character of the boat. You may find some strong opinions against painting wood but it’s your space to do what you like with, so do what makes you happy — it’s your boat. * DIY painting preparation is hard work and I titled this blog ‘easy ways’ so if you’re feeling miffed I understand. But on a level of difficulty, I believe (more often than not) that working with the boat you’ve got is a much easier process than selling up, and spending a lot more money and hours working to pay for a different boat.
Typically, painting a ceiling a darker colour than the walls will make the ceiling feel closer and the room smaller. That’s the opposite of what we want for your space! So painting the ceiling a lighter colour than the walls is an easy way to draw the eye upward and make the boat ceiling feel higher (and the room bigger). A bright white ceiling is most commonly used to create an airy feeling in a house, and it works well in a boat interior too. See the painting FAQs below for the best paint to use onboard.
Of course, you can choose whatever colour or pattern that you love for your upholstery, but not all fabric will have the same effect in a small space. Stripes are popular in the nautical world, but they can visually dominate small boat saloons. Bold prints do work in some tiny spaces but only if there’s plenty of light (bigger prints are better than smaller prints for the illusion of space).
Choose light, neutral coloured fabrics for settees and cushions to open up the space and help reflect light.
These look timeless and you can add more character through personal items and other decor. There are many options for high-quality stain, dirt and water resistant upholstery fabrics so don’t panic about having a lighter fabric onboard. You can always throw a blanket down on the settee while unpacking or moving gear around onboard (the place everything tends to get stacked while a boat job is done!).
A key element of your interior design revamp is adding texture for cosiness and personality. Using tone-on-tone natural fabrics is a great way to do this. Play with a mix of textures from wool blankets, linen fabric and woven cushions — all breathable, washable, durable and comfortable. Look at the features of your boat space — perhaps there’s some lovely native wood features, or brass compass or nautical element you can contrast with.
Create visual interest by combining a range of textures. Think rough and smooth, shiny and matt. Add some fur, or fringes — have fun with it!
Use new lighting to your advantage to create warmth, space and atmosphere. If you don’t have a lot of natural light through windows or hatches, you may be able to add more cabin lighting and swap out old fixtures for brighter, energy-efficient bulbs. Think where accent lighting could be added to highlight specific features of your boat’s interior. A simple way to do this is by illuminating the edges of the cabin with strips of 12V LED lights. These strip lights are easy to install and an excellent way to brighten darker recessed areas. These can be tucked out of sight for indirect light, adding a gorgeous ambiance. Improved, more strategically placed lighting also makes your boat safer to use and more enjoyable (no more tripping in the dark, or wearing a head torch trying to read a book!).
Tip: A higher LED count per meter of strip gives a smoother more unified light but of course will use more power too. Common LED densities are 30/60/120 LEDs per meter (9/18/36 LEDs per foot).
I’m guessing if you’re wanting to fix a dark space onboard, then there are few exterior windows — and small ones at that. Curtains add extra bulk to the space and removing these keeps the space visually simple. So if you’ve got curtains definitely remove those! If privacy is an issue, there’s slimline covers for hatches and portholes. Even a black yoga mat cut to size works well to blackout light and add insulation.
Adding strategically placed mirrors onboard can help reflect light and make your space feel much bigger. Consider hanging a mirror on the back wall of a saloon or a full-length mirror in a passageway. The challenge with mirrors is securing them well so that they don’t swing about on the wall when your boat rocks — so do check that the have the ability to be fastened at multiple points (a little foam adherence strip on the back also protects from rubbing). These mirrors below are a good size for use in a bulkhead or cabin wall, and can be well secured. And the gold looks so good with light fabrics.
Creating good ventilation and airflow below deck will ensure your interior space feel clean and fresh. Open hatches and check dorades are turned toward the wind to keep good air circulation — especially important while cooking and living aboard.
No. There’s quite a bit of prep work that goes into stripping back varnish and preparing the wood for painting. A paint specialist can recommend a good primer especially formulated for adhering to a previously varnished surface.
Use a wash and wear high quality interior paints designed for kitchens and bathrooms. These work well on a boat because they’re formulated to withstand humid or damp environments. These are highly durable, water resistant, anti-fungal and easily scrubbed clean for high-wear areas (most places onboard!). You’ll need to use a proper primer and with the correct number of undercoats to achieve a finish that will last well – especially if you’re painting over sanded varnish.
I’m dubious at the claims of some of those primers and paints. I’ve tried a few brands before hoping I could skip corners by not fully sanding the lacquer (just a light scuff only) but always regretted it. Within a few months I noticed a few scratches revealing varnish (even through many layers of paint). It’s hard not to bump walls when moving gear and living in a small space – so I recommend putting in the hard work up front and sanding back varnish really well before painting.
Make sure you wear excellent mask protection as varnish dust is toxic.
You don’t have to have a huge boat, to live in a great space that feels good. I hope you’re inspired to use these easy ways to transform your interior spaces into areas that feel bigger and lighter. And do send me your boat interior makeover photos I’d love to see the before and afters!

The best coastal bathroom ideas use texture, color, and finishes to create a laid-back, beachy vibe. Rattan, wicker, natural stone, and wood can bring beach-inspired energy into the space without going overboard. While white and blue are classic choices, you can also incorporate neutrals like gray and brown for a northeastern coastal feel or warm hues to mimic a stunning sunset.
If you're seeking coastal bathroom ideas for your home or summer house , we've got you covered. Our round-up of favorite coastal bathroom ideas from expert interior designers captures the essence of the beach without the clichés. These ideas will help you design a bathroom that feels like a coastal getaway, no matter the season.
If you're lucky enough to be designing a coastal bathroom on the actual coast, use the ocean to your advantage like designer Jon de la Cruz did here. The ceiling-height windows in this primary bathroom allow for the coastline to act as a sort of wallpaper.
This girls' bathroom by Kemble Interiors utilizes three different patterns to create its cheerful and coastal look. The key here is to play with different-sized motifs to allow them to blend seamlessly into the design.
Tour the Entire Home
A floor-to-ceiling mirror in this Arent & Pyke -designed bathroom highlights the textural stone walls surrounding it. The beach is all about connecting with nature, so embrace the unique look and feel of cut stone.
Cece Bowman of Kemble Interiors opted for a "twist on the South Florida standard" for this Palm Beach home. Opting not to paint the walls white, she instead looked to subtle patterned wallpapers to bring in that coastal sense of calm. The playful turtle stool is also an homage to the area's wildlife.
Blue and white is a timeless color palette for good reason, and it can easily be used in a coastal bathroom idea. This Cate Dunning -designed bathroom makes use of color pairing in different scales (large on the wallpaper, small on the lampshades) to harmonize the space without making it feel too visually busy.
Evoking the palette of a moody summer storm, Studio McGee opted for a cool-tone gray that leans blue in the natural light for this shower alcove. By framing just the fixtures in the tile, the entire bathroom looks and feels much larger.
In this Florida bungalow, blue and green shades run amok, but not in this powder room. Rather than choose the obvious coastal bathroom color palette, designer Chenault James opted to look to the sunset instead. These warm tones remind us of golden hour on summer nights.
Just because we said you didn't have to use the color blue in your coastal bathroom doesn't mean you can't. Opt for an all-over gradient of color similar to this bathroom. Add natural, woven textures to help ground all that high-gloss sheen.

Every beautifully aged beach house features metals that have been patinaed from exposure to the salt air. To get that same weathered look in your own coastal bathroom idea, opt for finishes and metals (like brass and nickel) that will naturally darken over time.
Turns out, green can evoke oceanic calm just as effectively as blue. This coastal bathroom idea showcases a monochromatic color palette with sage-green tile over a hunter-green vanity. Don't be afraid to embrace the darker shades to contrast the beach's light and bright feeling.

The ocean is the best setting for your morning cold plunge, so why not outfit your coastal bathroom with a sauna to warm you back up afterward? Take inspiration from this airy space's minimal color palette.
With no buildings or structures to cast dark shadows, the natural light at the beach is second to none. Keep wired lighting and window treatments in your coastal bathroom to a minimum, and rely on the sun's rays to light up your space wherever possible.
If you're not yet ready to fully plunge into the coastal design aesthetic, you can easily incorporate smaller accents instead. The block stool in this Seattle home mimics the look of driftwood, providing a subtle nod to the beach.
A common finish in coastal bathrooms is an all-white palette. To add depth and character, consider incorporating moodier or darker fixtures that align with real beach environments that inspire you. In this Maui bathroom, where the beaches have a more tropical allure, designer Breeze Giannasio drew inspiration from similar climates found in Bali and Japan. This approach both enhances the visual appeal and creates a more dynamic and sophisticated coastal bathroom idea.
If your coastal bathroom ideas are feeling too kitschy, set your sights on European coastlines for inspiration. Designer Mark D. Sikes opted for floor-to-ceiling tiles in this powder room with not a seashell in sight!
Many coastal bathroom ideas feature pastel colors, and this seafoam-green one, designed by Chenault James Interiors , perfectly complements its Delray Beach, Florida environment.
The beach is one of the most calming places, so your coastal bathroom should be too. Take note of this Long Island home by Susannah Charbin , nestled in a marsh. An (almost) all-white bathroom is made more interesting with a skylight that bounces sun rays across the textured tile.
Designer Ashley Gilbreath prioritized the oceanfront setting in her Rosemary Beach vacation home. This primary bathroom features woven-framed mirrors from Jamie Young that evoke the natural textures of the shoreline.
This powder room may not be on the coastline, but the seaweed-hued marble used in this sink alcove evokes that soothing feeling of wading through salt water. The sand-colored wood used throughout only enhances the coastal vibes.
In this coastal bathroom idea by designer Colleen Dowd Saglimbeni , on a floating home no less, the bathroom takes inspiration from its underwater residents. This wallpaper may feel too on-the-nose for some, but the tonal red ceiling and dark wood make it feel like a ship captain's quarters in the best way.

When going out on the boat with the whole family, you also have to think about the unpleasant aspects of the trip.
This can include having to use the bathroom. There are many reasons that you might consider getting an onboard bathroom.
Onboard bathrooms offer convenience and peace of mind while out on the water.

Marine toilets can be a great way to take care of business while out on the water.
While on a boat, toilets are often referred to as a “head.” Some boats come with a portable head, and others even have a fixed head.
There are a few different types of marine heads that you can get equipped on a boat.
A self-contained porta-potty is ideal for smaller boats. With this option, you will have to empty the small tank yourself, but you might be able to use a pump-out station at certain harbors or campgrounds.
These are often cheap and small and are ideal for small daily recreational boats. You can implement this system for less than $150.00.
You will want to make sure you have with these boats a space for privacy while using it.
Often, pontoon boats will have an area that can convert into a changing area that will provide all the privacy needed for a small portable head. Other boats might have Cuddy cabins or other privacy options.
Some boats have fixed plumbing systems that come with tanks. These are generally more expensive and can cost around $1,000.00.
This is a similar system to the portable head but is instead fixed into the boat. This will likely require a system to pump the tank but can take a lot of the work and stress out of using a marine bathroom.
When a head is fixed into the vessel, it is often incorporated into a private space. This reduces the need to find or create a private space for your bathroom.
These systems are also called “pump-through” systems.
Pump-through systems are made to filter and treat raw sewage.
These systems are more expensive but can reduce the need for cleaning or pumping the system. This system is built into the boat and treats sewage to pump right through the system and be let out overboard.
You will also need to make sure that if anything goes wrong with this system, you enlist a trained professional to help repair your system.
These systems are often only used on liveaboard vessels because of their expense. Other systems are better for recreational boats that are intended to be used less often.
If you plan to buy a used boat with this system, you will want to make sure it was properly maintained and works properly before you buy it.
One of the most popular boat types that features a bathroom is a pontoon. The size and layout of pontoon boats allow for a built-in private head.
Pontoon boats are also great for adding bathrooms to yourself. With a curtain and a portable toilet, you can create your own inexpensive onboard bathroom.
Boats that feature a cuddy cabin are also ideal to have bathrooms onboard. You can often store portable toilets under the cushions, and the cabin offers the privacy needed to use it.
Center console fishing boats also offer cabins with plenty of living space that includes onboard bathrooms. These boats are small, but they use the space they do have wisely and practically.
Sailboats also often come with cabins that feature bathrooms and other livable features. Often there are sleeping areas, bathrooms, dining areas, and other luxuries that make a living on board a sailboat possible.
Even if you do not plan to live aboard your vessel, you can comfortably take long sailing adventures in the comforts provided.
Sailing trips can often take days, and you want to make sure you have everything required to stay on your boat for the time needed.
Yachts are the largest and most luxurious option of watercraft that includes a bathroom.
This does not mean that they are all over big. Yachts can be as small as 40 feet and also include plenty of space and luxury.
Harris offers a unique design for a pontoon boat. There is also a full marine head with a pump-out toilet in addition to portside ladders, entertainment galley, power-adjustable seating, and other luxuries.
This head is located in the center of the vessel, right in front of the console. It offers its own lighting and full privacy for the occupant:
This area is not only built-in, but it doesn’t require set up, or the purchase of privacy curtains, like some onboard bathrooms do.
The Stingray 208CR Cuddy Cabin is a small boat that features a small cuddy cabin that has a small stowaway bathroom.
In addition to a convenient stowaway bathroom, this boat also has a wide design and plenty of space on the deck.
The deck features a large comfortable back layout area as well as comfortable seating.
The cuddy cabin on this boat does more than house the bathroom. You can put large cushions overtop so that you have a space to sleep if you would like.
This boat is perfect for an overnight trip.
The Bayliner VR5 Cuddy is a high-quality cruiser with a cuddy cabin that is perfect for overnight boating trips. This boat is small and can seat 8 and sleep 2.
You can equip the cuddy cabin with a portable head that you purchase yourself or buy it as an add on for this boat.
The deck is designed well to maximize space and seating. The door to the cuddy cabin also doubles as stairs if you choose to sit on the bow.
This boat is a small and fast recreational boat that is ideal for families and participating in water sports.
The Regal 26 Express comes with a mid-cabin that offers plenty of space and multiple luxuries. The salon offers a luxurious and expansive seating layout. This can be changed into a berth for overnight stays.
The deck also offers social seating that focuses on face to face contact between passengers. The deck also offers sun lounges that are multi-positional.
The cabin offers space as well as a bathroom. This boat comes with a waste tank that has an 18-gallon capacity.
This means that you do not have to empty it as often as a portable toilet, but you will need to do it at a pump-out station when you do empty it.
The Scout 350 LXF is a boat that is made for fishing but also allows for living. This boat features multiple motors, a center console design, and plenty of seating.
This boat comes equipped with a spacious cabin that includes 1 head. This head is built-in and very convenient for boaters who intend to stay out fishing for hours.
This boat also comes with specific fishing equipment built in. This includes rod holders, storage, and tackle drawers built into the stern seat.

The cabin on the BayCruiser 26 provides plenty of space and large panoramic windows. This boat provides two full-length berths right in the saloon.
The galley in this boat tucks away to free up additional space when not in use.
This boat also features a private and enclosed head. This allows for privacy for restroom use and conceals the head from view when it is not being used.
The Bavaria R40 features 2 double berths, a saloon, and 2 heads.
Having a boat that comes with two bathrooms might seem unnecessary. Still, these boats are ideal for camping trips, long journeys, or other liveaboard activities, even if you don’t plan actually to live aboard your boat.
This boat also offers a galley with full equipment, electricity hookups, and plenty of entertainment.
With this vessel, you would be able to travel by water to vacation destinations without worrying about the cost of booking a hotel or campsite.
There are many reasons that it’s a good idea to have a head onboard your vessel.
Kids are unpredictable and often have to use the bathroom . You will want to make sure that you are prepared for anything that they can throw at you.
These instances can be unpredictable and hard to deal with if there is not a standard bathroom around.
This problem can become easier to deal with if your boat has a bathroom right on it.
Even with the proper planning, both children and adults may need to use the restroom while onboard. Having a bathroom on board can take out the anxiety of boating with families .
Even though this issue happens most often with small children, this issue doesn’t just apply to children and can happen to anyone.
If you are traveling on a large body of water, or you are on a long journey, having a head-on board might be your only option to relieve yourself.
Suppose you are traveling on a large body of water like the ocean or a large lake you might not have landed nearby that you can stop at. Even if there is land near, you might not be able to utilize a bathroom.
One example of this might be while traveling downriver. Just because there is land nearby, most of the river’s structures will likely be private residential homes instead of public areas.
If you plan to camp on your boat, you might also benefit from a bathroom onboard. This will help make it so that you do not have to leave your vessel every time you need to go.
This can include having to steer the boat back to shore every time you need to go. This can be very time-consuming and irritating. Especially at night while you are asleep.
If you are not camping at a dock or a marina, a bathroom on board can be necessary.
A bathroom on board can make it easier and more relaxing than having to worry about always having a bathroom nearby or getting to it.
It is also possible that you might have a family member with medical issues that require the use of a bathroom.
If you have one on your boat, they will be more comfortable when otherwise they might not be able to come out on the water with you.
If you already have a vessel that doesn’t offer a toilet, you can still purchase one.
Portable toilets are ideal for current boat owners who want a bathroom onboard. These are also ideal for pontoon boats that don’t have a bathroom built-in or cuddy cabin boats that have space for a portable toilet.
If you go with the portable toilet option, you will likely want to invest in a privacy curtain and other bathroom amenities.
These curtains can be fixed to biminis or other large structures that are featured on your boat. Some are even able to stand up all on their own.
Some of these options can include:
Camco makes a portable toilet that is perfect for a boat. It has a 5.3-gallon tank for wastewater and a 2.5-gallon tank for fresh water.
This tank is easy to move and store. It is 11.5 pounds when it is empty. The freshwater tank helps to flush the toilet.
The waste tank is easy to clean and has a removable cap in the back to assist with emptying the toiled.
This toilet also comes with a sealing slide valve that locks in odors and protects your toilet from leakage.
This toilet sells for around $76.00.
The Palm Springs portable toilet is a nice and lightweight toilet perfect for use onboard a boat. This toilet has a 3-gallon freshwater tank and a 5-gallon waste tank.
This toilet flushes by releasing freshwater from the fresh water tank while simultaneously releasing the waste.
This toilet also has leak prevention and is made very durable. It also has a handle that makes it easier to transport the toilet on and off your vessel.
This toilet is also reasonably priced at around $75.00.
Having a head onboard your vessel can be an ideal situation no matter what you use your recreational boat for.
Having to use the bathroom happens to us all. Without having a head onboard, you might be forced to motor your vessel back to the dock or walk to shore whenever you need to use the facilities.
This can be a massive inconvenience and can put a damper on a fun day out on the water, especially if you end up having to make multiple trips.
With less than $100.oo, you can fix your onboard bathroom issues with a portable toilet.
If you are searching for a new boat, you can also make sure to look for one with a built-in bathroom system. These are often more expensive but can be a lot less work.
Make sure you know how to use your system, clean your system, and that your system is in proper working condition before you purchase the vessel.
While shopping for a boat, you will want to seriously consider your options and choose the type of head and set up that is right for you and your planned activities while out on the water.

Transform your space into a sanctuary of bliss with the latest bathroom ideas.
The best bathroom ideas are not only beautiful but, they also make your space – whatever size it may be – truly functional. And, stunning design is achievable whatever your decor style or budget may be.
From quick swap-ins to spruce up your current bathroom – think of new paint color, tiles, and wall art – to bigger changes that will dramatically transform your space, there are so many decor avenues to explore whether you want a timeless look or a very on-trend and topical home.
Both modern and classic bathroom looks have their aesthetic benefits, but it's all about striking a balance between your style and needs while you consider your home's personality too.
From adding function when fitting out the space with storage , to finding a look you love, there's a lot to consider with every bathroom remodel .
'Creating a calming atmosphere and choosing the right furniture for your bathroom can be tricky, and depends on a number of things, most importantly the size of the room, the color scheme and materials, as well as who will be using it,' says Kyra Cotgrave, home designer at Neptune .
'For a larger, family-sized bathroom you may want to think about a practical unit with plenty of storage and a double sink, whereas a single sink would work perfectly for a smaller space or en suite. Including warmer tones and textures, like exposed timbers, can complement the cooler surfaces and colors often found in bathrooms.'
Bring the serenity of a Scandi-spa home, with an immersive, sensory retreat that restores the mind, body, and soul after the stresses of a manic-panic week.
Richard Ticehurst, brand expert at Crosswater , says: ‘With more time being spent at home than ever before, the spa-inspired bathroom trend is growing rapidly. The key to creating an indulgent spa-inspired bathroom is a minimalist design, low lighting , luxurious baths, and high-performance showers. As the home spa trend focuses heavily on mood, neutral colors, clean lines, and natural materials are also essential.’
Complement your spa escape with the best bathroom towels , for the ultimate pampering experience.
Transformative bathroom tile ideas are a cost-effective, and quick idea to elevate your scheme through a winning combination of color, pattern, and texture. Choose a tile design in a hue, finish and shape to suit your style, and get creative with striking formations in single or two-tone palettes. Honeycomb formations using hexagon tiles; or subway tiles laid in striking diagonal stripes of zig-zags are trending tile pattern ideas right now.
Shown here, the tiled bathtub is an impactful DIY bath panel idea , that blends in with the tiled shower wall, to create the illusion of added space.
Jayne Adamson, marketing manager at Verona , says: ‘Adding colorful pattern to a room allows you the freedom to pick out a color from the tile to tie into the décor.'
Invest in mirror magic with a light-bouncing, small bathroom mirror idea . Cocoon a compact space in reassuring curves to make the space flow, and avoid lots of hard angles, which only emphasize a boxy feel.
Jen & Mar, co-founders of Interior Fox , comment: ‘ In compact bathrooms, we prefer to use white paint on the walls, it is timeless, clean, and will bounce the light which opens the space. Mirrors also help trick the eye into thinking a space is bigger. Instead of traditional square frames, which can often feel too large for the space, a large oval or pill-shaped mirror above the basin works as the curved edges are slim and complement the curvature of the sink surface. Bring contrast and color into the space through textured or geometric tiles and focus on the smaller details such as the hardware, radiator, and finishing touches of fresh foliage and artwork to really make the space your own.’
There's a pick to suit all styles with the best bathroom mirrors .
In vogue for 2022, harmonious pastel hues are popping up everywhere – from catwalks to homes, and everywhere in between. And it’s easy to understand why. Pretty pastel decorating ideas work effortlessly in both contemporary and traditional settings, and provide a gentle color injection that doesn’t overwhelm. Consider pastels as the ‘new neutrals’ of the nouveau-twenties and mix-and-match away in a tonal ice-cream palette that soothes and energizes your space…
Experts at luxury homeware brand, Lusso Stone , comment: ‘Spring pastels cover a wide range of colors - everything from mint green, lavender and powder blue to soft peach, pale yellow, and shell pink - so there’s a perfect pastel for everyone, however you should consider which shade will work best with the natural light in your bathroom.’
‘Rooms that face the North usually have a cooler natural light which can create a subtle blue or purple undertone to your paint colors, whereas South facing rooms benefit from a lot more sunlight - while this can lift the mood in a bathroom, it can also make whites and yellows feel a little too dazzling when you’re trying to unwind, so bear that in mind when choosing a color scheme. With East facing bathrooms, warmer tones work best as they tend to fall into shade during the afternoon, and West facing spaces often look great in pinks or yellows.’
Cast a refreshing, positive vibe and add extra light into your bathroom with Benjamin Moore's pale and pastel paint colors .
When thinking about your bathroom lighting design, you’ll need to incorporate both task and mood lighting, that can adapt to changing requirements and ambiance levels throughout the day.
Natalie Mann, product development coordinator, Iconic Lights , says: ‘ Whilst the main purpose of lighting in the bathroom is to help you get ready, it’s still an area where you can let your personality and style shine through. Pendant lighting works best as it creates a design feature that provides both task and mood lighting which is great for a relaxing moment to yourself.’
‘Wall lighting or directed spotlights work great in the bathroom as they have a more distinct design element and will give you intense lighting in one specific area.’
No more excuses for arguing over who left toothpaste smears all over the mirror! If space allows, get your symmetry smiles on with double basins and mirrors. Not only does a duo add impact and pleasing balance to any scheme, but doubling up under sink storage allows you to maintain an organized bathroom countertop , free of clutter. Start by choosing the best bathroom sink and you're golden.
Evocative of hazy, summer days, and romantic Mediterranean idylls, warming terracotta is a key bathroom trend 2022 . In research conducted by the design team at WeThrift , searches for terracotta bathrooms on Pinterest have soared by a whopping 122% .
There are many ways you can radiate your space in terracotta gorgeousness… Use terracotta tiles on floors, walls, or both for a rustic look, abundant in texture; paint walls in a reassuring clay hue, and incorporate the hottest house plant trends 2022 for a desert style spin; channel a Tuscan vibe by incorporating terracotta with olive and sage greens, and reclaimed materials; or say yee-ha with a Southwestern-Inspired scheme that plays with turquoise blue, desert sand and crisp white ceramic tiles.
Feeling inspired to whisk your bathroom scheme off to sunnier climbs? Create the perfect sunset mood with a spirited coral shade from Sherwin-Williams' orange paint colors .
Get tactile with three-dimensional textures as a creative way to decorate bathroom walls , whilst creating a calming and authentic space, rooted in nature…
Richard Ticehurst, Brand Expert at Crosswater, says: ' One of the biggest new trends in bathroom design is texture. From impressive feature walls to intricate bathroom taps, texture can add depth to any bathroom design with tactile, three-dimensional detail. As we continue to bring the outside in, naturally occurring textures are at the top of everyone's bathroom wish list, with stone, concrete, wood, and marble creating a unique focal point.’
Soak away the stresses of the day, with the ultimate indulgence – a decadently deep, freestanding bath , that adds a sense of grandeur, whilst making the most elegant focal point. For a luxurious statement, opt for a rich metallic finish, or color match your tub to the existing scheme palette. If you’re feeling playful, have fun with a bright contrast shade like lipstick pink or breezy blue.
Create a luxury bathroom look with a richly decorated basin that showcases intricate patterns and shapes with a unique character. This is a great idea for introducing pattern and interest, without confusing or ‘visually cluttering’ a space.
Shown here, the Marnie basin , from London Basin Co., features an intricate floral pattern of pinks, blues, and greens set against a sky blue backdrop. It takes inspiration from India’s kaleidoscope of colors and offers a bold and vivid visual feast for the eye. A chic brass and marble bathroom vanity , and coordinating brass fixtures complement the luxe aesthetic.
Long before technological advances, the thought of using bathroom wallpaper ideas just wasn't viable. And, if it was... It would have to defy the laws of chemistry and physics to make it work.
In this bathroom idea by West One Bathrooms, their wallpaper by Wall and Deco is specifically designed for use in this high-moisture environment, so much so it can be installed directly in the shower.
We love this Vivido pattern which has a semi-gloss finish and is resistant against yellowing caused by abrasive household cleaning detergents. What's more, it's suitable for application on surfaces made out of cement, plasterboard, concrete, glass, and ceramic tiles. So if you're looking to create a retreat-like atmosphere, or immerse yourself in a Japanese garden scene, this is the way to go.
'You'd be forgiven for thinking that in what is often one of the smaller rooms in the house that you should opt for light, bright and unfussy walls,' says Lucy Henderson, head of design at My Bespoke Room .
'Pattern provides depth, tricking the eye into thinking that the space extends beyond. Should you decide to experiment with fun wallpaper, use it as inspiration and pull the darker shades to match the paneling in the lower half of the room or floor.'
'A downstairs toilet is often a space predominantly used by guests, so it's a perfect opportunity to add some glitz and glamour to their visit! Gold accents from the tap to even the loo handle really do add a touch of decadence compared to chrome.'
Grown-up and sophisticated, there's something about a pink and gray scheme that feels prim and proper. And this bathroom by Greg Penn (aka @manwithahammer ) has been consciously curated.
'The dark blue of the Burlington Baths freestanding tub and the windows really pop against the soft, Woodland Jay pink walls and pale marble floor. In old houses, I try to soften bathrooms and make them feel as much like a normal room as possible with texture, color, and softness so they feel warm and inviting even in a north-facing room such as this.'
'The little surprise of wallpaper around the corner which leads to the W.C provides some additional interest – the prints for it were taken from the Natural History Museum and dates from around the same age as the house was built in 1804.'
If you're blessed with idyllic landscapes of a farm or some forestry, make good use of it by positioning your bath and windows next to it. Depending on the privacy you have around your estate, you may need to dress your windows to bathe with dignity.
In this dreamy modern bathroom idea by Susannah Hawkins (aka @shnordic ), a freestanding tub from Waters Baths offers the perfect views of the idyllic outdoors. She's also managed to bring the outside in with a concrete sink by Kast Concrete Basins and natural textures of wood incorporated via her Crosswater vanity and rattan shelf design. The hexagonal tiles, by Claybrook Studio remind us of a beehive too!
Lighting from Dowsing and Reynolds and a mirror from Cox and Cox ensures that along with the natural sunlight to help, this room feels airy and bright.
Brass finished taps by Grohe offer a glamorous touch, and the Mandala-detailed rug from TK Maxx offers color and texture and a way to dry off wet feet after enjoying a long, relaxing soak.
Call us Magpies, but we love a bit of metallic decor – not just for the shiny and bling factor but because, as well as a good mirror idea , it also does wonders to bounce light and make the room feel bigger.
'The first thing we purchased was Hurlingham Baths Dietrich Copper Bath , this would form the centerpiece of the bathroom and sit centrally on the back wall for maximum impact,' says Anna Straw, an interior designer and founder of Anna's Attic .
'I wanted to achieve the look of an aged wall, which I felt would contrast so well with the shiny nickel. Murals Wallpaper supplied me with their Crumble mural , which is the perfect contrast to our highly-polished bath.'
'The lighting needed reviewing, we started out with one central ceiling light and one wall light, the ceiling light was removed and replaced with spotlights and the wall light was moved to above the bath and replaced with Industville’s 8 inch pewter Brooklyn Dome wall light , this vintage-style perfectly complements the mural and window frame mirror above which it hangs.
'We are lucky to have a Velux in the bathroom, which lets in tons of natural light and is so lovely at night when laid in the bath.'
Combining wooden beams, with organic linen to provide privacy, chalky plastered walls, and black-framed doors and windows, this rustic bathroom has been given a contemporary makeover.
This water-resistant flooring by Carpetright is suitable for use with underfloor heating and a perfect match for modern living.
Pink bathrooms can often have strong connotations of femininity, but if you're sharing your wash space with a male counterpart or want a scheme that follows a classic trend, then add in punchy pops of industrial furniture and sanitaryware.
Here, a distressed metal cistern makes a statement out of the toilet. This, coupled with a copper towel rail can give your pretty pastel restroom an edgy touch. This slip-resistant concrete-effect, bathroom flooring idea is actually vinyl, though, with its mottled light to medium grey patches, we had to see it up close for ourselves. So if you're going for the same look, get your hands on the Roma 581 Navarra vinyl .

'Whatever the size of your bathroom, think about how you can replicate the tone and feel of natural light as best as possible,' says Rohan Blacker, founder, Pooky .
'Start off with considering where your bathroom lighting zones are located. In most cases, we have an overhead pendant or spotlights. Although great for creating practical or mood lighting, they are less than ideal for a powder room style setting as overhead light casts shadows.'
'Wall lights are an especially good option in all bathroom settings as not only stylish, but you can install them at the desired eye level, perhaps on either side of your mirror which will then diffuse your light effectively.'
'Alternatively, look for adjustable fixtures which can tilt so you can bounce the light against a wall to avoid direct light shining on you as again, this would create shadows.'
It doesn't get more luxurious than having a freestanding tub in the loft. Literally and figuratively, you'll feel on top of the world after an hour's soak. This sky blue bathroom with its palm print wall covering and hanging plants is sure to make you feel like you're on cloud nine. 'This bathroom is colorful yet calming with our Wallpaper of the Year 2022 Restore sitting elegantly in the backdrop,' says Abby Hesketh, color expert at Graham & Brown .
'The smoky fog background and relaxing botanical trails of this design will make you feel like you are bathing in a tropical jungle and welcoming the outdoors into your home. I also love the variety of blue shades in this design; they are a perfect choice for a bathroom as they have naturally calming qualities and will reflect beautifully in water – perfect for taking a relaxing bath to wind down at the end of the day.'
Washing our hands and face are simple tasks we take for granted in the developing world. But, that doesn't mean that we shouldn't pay mind to our sanitaryware.
Blending old with new, this hand-finished, country white countertop porcelain basin by London Basin Co. features a delicate floral pattern, gold-rimmed design, and glossy finish.
Whether you have a coastal scheme or farmhouse chic suite, this basin will sink in seamlessly into your washroom space. Our best bathroom taps are also the perfect bathroom decorating companion to this washing vessel.
We have sung the praises of vinyl tiles and similar bathroom flooring materials many times before, and we can really really vouch for them because we have tried and tested them ourselves. They are so easy to install yourself, and most will come with instructions to guide you through the process. They can be laid on top of your existing tiles and no one needs to know about the ugly yellowing tiles that lie beneath.
Our go-to place for great quality vinyl flooring is Harvey Maria , you can order samples too and the patterns are stunning.
You can get some really realistic 'wooden' vinyl flooring and vinyl tiles now and they are way cheaper and easier to install than solid wood flooring too. Also, they can be a more practical choice in a bathroom because they aren't going to be affected by the moisture and real wood would be. Again, you can lay them yourself and totally transform the feel of your bathroom in just a weekend.
Floor tiles, Best Tile . Bath, Victorian Plumbing . Wall tiles, B&Q
We're in love with these floor tiles, which form the basis of an unexpected but entirely effective color scheme in this bathroom. Feel like taking inspiration from it? Choose a bold geometric floor, then pick out one of the colors – we suggest the most subtle one – and inject accents of that shade in the rest of the room. It'll help tie the space together and make an otherwise loud flooring feel more like it belongs there.
These mind-bending cool hexagonal tiles look almost circular in this bathroom, contrasting with the sharp edges of the subway tiles and bath – but it's the way they've been taken up the walls and used to highlight the alcoves that we're really impressed by. Not only is this a great bathroom idea to pull together a scheme, but it also adds an extra splash of pattern to the space. Not blessed with handy inset shelves like these? Try reflecting your floor tiles in a backsplash above the sink or on a windowsill.
One for the more daring, terrazzo is a statement alright – especially when it's used to cover the floor and walls of a bathroom. Even though the space is small, you'll notice that the on-trend pattern doesn't feel enclosed – instead, these tiles add a designer touch and make the space feel more like a very luxury bathroom idea or wet room.
It's been softened with natural textures and floaty fabrics to make it even easier on the eye. If you don't want to take it this far, a terrazzo floor looks amazing with white walls as a nod to the trend.
Potentially the easiest of all our bathroom ideas, take some paint to the walls. You can get so used to staring at the same, slightly off-white, stained walls that you stop noticing them. Give your whole bathroom a new coat of paint and you will instantly notice it feeling fresher and cleaner, even if you just go with white. We love the feminine splash of baby pink and, if you are feeling a bit braver, experiment with more adventurous bathroom paint color ideas .
If you're wondering how to make a small bathroom look bigger without knocking through other rooms or extending – we've a far simpler design trick!
Whether you fit paneling as in this bathroom, tile half way up or simply use paint to divide the room horizontally, the rules are the same: put a darker color in the lower half of the room, a lighter color above.
Doing so can re-balance the proportions of a narrow room with a high ceiling, it adds character and color that you couldn't take up to the ceiling (or rather you could, but you shouldn't).
Combining soft accents like the heavy draped shower curtains with soft gray and pink will make for a romantic bathroom look. Add more personality to help the space feel unique and you'll fall in love with the overall finish.
Painting floorboards in a bathroom is not only an easy DIY project but it's also super effective.
If you have a roll-top bath , or even a bath with a panel, painting it can give it a new lease of life. It's also a great way to start a new color scheme in your bathroom – we love the dark bath against the fresh white walls and the pattern of the bath mat and towel (which is Asda , would you believe?).
Knowing how to paint a bath properly will deliver the best results, so we advise you to follow our easy step-by-step guide.
No bath to paint? No problem, try painting your vanity unit or any storage you have in your bathroom. Keep it looking modern by teaming pops of pink with boldly patterned monochrome flooring and an array of house plants.
And if you're wondering where to even begin, our guide on how to paint furniture will give you a good head-start on this overhaul.
A bold busy wallpaper print actually works really well in a small bathroom , because it can blur the lines of the edges of the room. It's a popular trend in powder rooms and half baths too.
For a ceiling decor idea with wow-factor, take a verdant wallpaper design (like the one shown here) from walls, onto the fifth wall aka ceiling for a daring lift.
Maximalism can work in any size of a bathroom. Team wallpaper with a contrasting floor and bring it all together with bold and unique accessories. Contrasting colors is another way to get that maximalist effect but be sure to still stick with a theme. In this bathroom, there is a clear color palette of reds and greens which work so well against each other.
You can create your own wallpaper effect with this really easy cheap bathroom idea . All you need is paint and thick masking tape. Create the geometric shapes with the masking tape and then paint in between the lines. Easy peasy.
Whether you tile a backsplash yourself or not, it's a small job that could make a big difference. Choose vibrant pattern mosaics in a large format to make a statement.
Obviously, the design here isn't really simple, but we love the elegance that comes with its minimalism, and although this bathroom isn't packed with all sorts of accessories, the details, from the tiles to the coordination of the rug and eye-catching lamp brings the wow factor and importantly, add much-needed texture that makes a bathroom feel interesting and welcoming.
Another small change that could make a big impact. Replacing previous bathroom lighting ideas and opting for fixtures that work better for the space will instantly make your room feel bigger and well... Lighter. If your current bathroom lights are fine, just think about adding more so you have different layers of lighting and lighting for different reasons.
We love these Ikea lights , they are so perfect for around a mirror, simple to install, and give you an old Hollywood glamour vibe while you're doing your make-up.
The matching red medicine cabinets and sconce lights make this otherwise all- white bathroom sing. All you need to do is paint a piece of junk shop furniture in a bold shade (it needn't be a red hue – even a more neutral tone can have an eye-catching effect.
For a really moody and vampy effect - swap your white walls for something darker like black or navy.
It's the oldest trick in the book but there's a reason we harp on about it – it works. If you are looking for bathroom ideas that will expand your space, it doesn't get easier than hanging up a big mirror – or three.
Think about the positioning of your mirror, too: obviously above the sink makes sense, but maybe try one on the opposite wall too to bounce the light around even more, or behind or around the bath. It's perfect for making a dark room lighter, too.
No matter what size your space, bathroom storage ideas are always important. Try to have a mix of open and closed storage in your bathroom so there are spaces for your best toiletries, houseplants, and pretty knick-knacks to be on show, but also doors for unsightly but essential bits to hide behind.
This bathroom ticks all the boxes with a mix of baskets (always a winner), drawers, a ladder for towels, and some little open shelves too. Lots of bathroom ideas to copy here – those tiles are lush too!
Maybe all your bathroom needs to feel new is a good de-clutter and the best way to do this is to invest in practical but stylish smaller storage. Ikea stocks fab small bathroom storage ideas that are designed for these spaces and are really affordable too.
But you don't need to buy pieces of furniture, even just picking out some small storage piece can make such a difference. We are so in love with the Kungsfors net bags! They look fab in any room but are ideal for storing toiletries you need to keep accessible.
You must have seen the Ikea Bekvam stool on Instagram ? If you look closely, it's always creeping somewhere in the corner of seemingly every Instagrammer's room. It's not surprising, really, as it's a super versatile piece, looks stylish, and isn't expensive.
You can use it as a stool, a step ladder, or, as seen here, bathroom storage. It just adds a handy bit of extra surface space for storing toiletries or keeping folded towels. Plus you can so easily paint it to match your bathroom.
Take note of the bath towels on the hooks too – the shiplap surface gives this space a nautical feel that you just want to dive into.
Real or fake indoor plants are a great way to add interest and personality to a bathroom if you are renting or just making do with what you have got before a renovation.
If your bathroom doesn't have windows, opting for faux plants might be the more ethical and cost-effective option, as real ones might not survive without sunlight. Or pick both in a mix of sizes and shades, the more texture they add the better.
If you live in a land-locked area with no access to a lake or sea, you may have to drive for miles and miles to get yourself to the beach. But you can save the journey and create a seaside-style bathroom with peachy hues and shell shade accessories.
But if a beige bathroom idea still feels a bit bland, contrasting it with black hardware is bang on trend at the moment and you can find some really affordable options at Victoria Plum and on Amazon even. If you are after swanky accessories, Anthropologie has the nicest selection .
Gorgeous George and Design Hotel, feat Victoria + Albert Drayton bath
Black and white bathrooms are just a classic. They never date and always look gorgeous. Everyone is obsessed with the hexagonal mosaic flooring at the moment, and you can actually create loads of very cool patterns with it and they are great for adding a bit of interest to a monochrome bathroom. They are no harder to lay than normal tiles (in fact, we think they're easier – they just need more grout. Learn how to grout tiles in five easy steps here.)
If you prefer a more traditional vibe when it comes to your remodel, then we think the best bathroom ideas come from mixing old and new. Keep all the essentials modern – toilet, shower, etc. and then source antique (or just older) pieces that are more decorative – like this vanity unit. You could also spruce up an old roll-top bath – this can be a much cheaper option too if you have a look at the likes of Ebay .
A bohemian bathroom style is the way to go if you have a small bathroom. Strip back on what you need and stick to just in the essentials. Plus make sure you have your storage set up perfect to avoid clutter and keep that zen, free-spirited feeling.
Think verdant walls, wood-framed mirrors, hanging pendant lights, and bathroom shelving ideas . Houseplants, no doubt, will play a huge role here too.
Looking for rustic bathroom ideas that stray from traditional white and monochrome and instead are more natural? Your best bet is wood. Adding wooden accents to your bathroom will make it feel warmer and avoid that cold stark feeling you can sometimes get in a bathroom.
Wooden furniture is an obvious way to get the look, but you could also cheat wooden floors and get mock wood tiles or wood effect vinyl flooring. Complete the look with plenty of house plants.
And if rustic isn't your scene, and you want a colorful bathroom, then we say go for it! Colorful bathrooms are back in style and we aren't talking brown carpets and avocado suites: this year, it's all about pinks and yellows and teals.
You can go as bright as you like, but we say when it comes to the actual underlying design keep things neutral-ish so if you change your mind or styles change you don't have too much work on your hands to renovate. See in this bathroom – the bath is white, and the floors and furniture are neutral but you get that overall pink glow from the sinks and the feature wall of pink tiles.
If you love this sink as much as we do Victoria Plum does a really similar one, so take a look – not a bad price either.
We know that all white bathrooms can look a bit clinical and void of personality, but we love this white bathroom idea. It helps that there are lots of original features to bring character, but you can replicate them even in a modern bathroom – the paneling you could even DIY yourself. The bath and stool work well to break up all the white but it's still a lovely airy space.
And at the opposite end of the spectrum... Dark bathrooms are definitely the bathroom style of the moment. But if you think about it, they are actually a really practical choice. Plus, there are loads of different routes you could go down, from the more traditional to the super modern.
We love the simple square design of this black sink from Pure Bathroom Collection . Oh, and we think we might steal that bathroom idea of hanging monochrome prints in a bathroom, too.
You can rely on just bathroom floor tiles alone to bring interest into your bathroom. We love how the vibrant coral looks against the very stylish terrazzo here. The stripped backspace and lack of any clutter mean the tiles don't totally overwhelm the room and they are the sole focus. Definitely take that tip – if you go big on the tiles, keep everything else pretty simple.
This bathroom idea works perfectly in a smaller space because you really can't tell where the floor ends and the walls begin, which helps 'expand' the space.
When deciding how to choose tiles for a small bathroom , larger tiles do tend to work better in small bathrooms and we love the look of these huge marble tiles – simple but effective. If you are looking for something similar check out what's on offer at Walls and Floors .
Now let's look at bathroom ideas that cover more practical elements, like how to choose a shower . If we could recommend one design, in particular, it would be a walk-in shower set up with a black-framed door.
Forget bulky enclosures that break up the space, a walk-in shower that's just separated with a screen is by far a better choice, and it can work no matter what. size bathroom you are working with.
Want to glean another tip from this room? Laying tiles diagonally like they are above making the room look wider and longer. Neat.
And if you want tips on how to choose a bath , we are always of the opinion if you have the room, a freestanding bath is a great idea – and actually it can make a small bathroom feel larger by allowing you to see around and under it.
You can get them to suit modern or traditional styles and they just add a focal point to the space – especially if you go for something bold like the yellow tub pictured here.
To create a really luxurious feel, a semi wet room design could be a good option. You will have to decide if this is the direction you want to go in from the get-go as it will dictate a lot of your early renovations.
Think walk-in showers are reserved for massive bathrooms? Think again. Walk-in showers can actually be the best option in a small bathroom. A shower enclosure would just waste space in this diddy room, whereas a walk-in shower creates a seamless feel. The partition is actually a curtain on a moveable rail that can be moved against the wall when the shower isn't in use, so clever and looks gorgeous.
Organic, botanical, and natural-feeling bathrooms have traditionally been challenging due to the humidity of this space, which doesn’t mix well with materials like wood, wicker, and fabric. But instead of simply filling the room with plants – you’ll have seen those classic 18-plants-in-the-bath shots if you’re on Insta – new technologies and materials mean nailing this look is easy, without compromising on practicality.
We love timber-effect porcelain tiles, which you can use on floors and walls, and luxury vinyl tile plank flooring, which feels warm underfoot. New water-based varnishes are much better quality and help protect real wood in bathrooms.
You can even get ceramic wallpapers, which are highly durable, or you could cheat it and apply a cheap wallpaper covered in decorator's matt varnish.
We’re saying Sayonara to subway tiles and hello bold patterned tiles. People are definitely being bolder in the bathroom, and we’ve seen a few homeowners on Your Home Made Perfect , the BBC show, really going for it.
Feature tile walls look great and you can really mix it up by laying the tiles in herringbone patterns, chevrons, or even laying skinny tiles vertically. I love the Ca' Pietra Lilypad tiles , which are hexagonal – another trend that isn’t going anywhere.
Grout used to be white or white, but these days you can make a statement by using black or grey for added punch, and you can even color match your silicone. Topps Tiles and Tile Giant are great for affordable options, and you can save money by DIY-ing. Just make sure you have flat surfaces and use decent quality slow-set adhesive to give you time for mistakes!
If you're going for an all gray bathroom – from walls to woodwork – picking the right paint shade is a must. Sometimes this isn't easy to get right from a paint chart – but if you can find a helpful assistant in the paint shop/DIY store who's mixing for you, ask which shades have yellow or pink tints in them.
These shades will be warmer – and that's what you're looking for. So, whether you go light or dark, your room will feel welcoming, not cold. This grey above, for instance, has a discernible touch of yellow to it.
Gray bathroom paint needn't be limited to walls and woodwork – why not use yours to paint the underside of a bath? You don't necessarily need to match walls or wallpaper with your shade, but doing so can make a larger bathroom – or one with tall ceilings – feel just that bit more characterful and lively.
If the bathroom paint color you've fallen in love with is a colder, harder shade, then there is a way to keep the room feeling warm and welcoming: and that's to add bags of texture with a warm-colored wood.
It needn't be on the floor, but a floor covering does have a big impact on how a space feels, so it's your best bet. Otherwise, you can simply incorporate wooden accessories and furniture.
Tongue-and-groove wall paneling is a brilliant alternative to wall tiles in a bathroom – and cheap too. Plus DIYers can fit it without too much trouble. Let's talk finish: your bathroom paint needs to be designed to take the moisture that's produced in a bathroom, so look for water-resistant finishes for wood and mold-resistant finishes for plasterwork.
This could be something you could actually build into a current bathroom, but if you are designing your bathroom from scratch think about what areas will be boxed off and can therefore have bathroom shelving ideas added. For example in this bathroom, the plumbing above the toilet has been hidden, and shelves have been added to make the space more functional.
Bathroom windows can be tricky when it comes to deciding how to dress them best. Or are they? We think not: shutters are where it's at for us. Curtains are a no (too damp in a bathroom for them). Blinds can look gorgeous but don't add the texture we're after... but shutters bring it every time when it comes to Bathroom window treatments .
There's the visual interest, they can of course be in any other color but white, and they're practical. Plus of course, we all associate them with living space, so they'll make your bathroom feel more like that kind of space than one that's separate and... sterile.
If you are after really realistic tiny bathroom inspo, the Imandra range by B&Q (above) has been designed for small, busy bathrooms that see a ton of traffic and need plenty of storage.
So each piece of furniture is as slim-lined as possible to make the space easier to move around, but they are all packed with loads of practical storage to keep it clutter-free.
Look around for old pieces of storage that are going unloved and unused in a bedroom or living room and see if you can repurpose them in your bathroom.
Got a set of chest of drawers you were thinking of sticking on Gumtree ? They could totally work as storage for all those hair masks you claim to be part of your 'self-care' routine. Sometimes, all the drawers need is a lick of paint or sand down and there you go.
It can be tricky to know what to do with a loft conversion bathroom layout, ideally, the shower will be at the tallest point of the room but there's nothing wrong with having a bath slightly tucked under the eaves. It adds a nice coziness to the bathroom too and can feel lovely and cocooning when you are having a soak.
There are several things to love about this bathroom. Firstly, the light! And secondly, we love how the Brasilia floor tiles from Popham Design have continued up the wall, which draws your eye away from the fact that the bathroom is actually super narrow.
The beautiful white Victoria + Albert Eldon bath breaks up the pattern, yet the shape of it and the white pattern on the tiles link cleverly. The gold taps, shower, and towel rail add a hint of warmth to the white-painted side walls finishing off the space to a T.
Bathrooms have long embraced the timeless nature of black and white decor. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it – and we're not straying from the trend any time soon with stylish looks like this.
Because bathroom suites are generally white, you'll need to be clever with your surfaces to introduce black without the room looking like a giant checkerboard – the safest bet is to keep the walls white, neutral, or at least plain, and to concentrate the pattern on the flooring, like with these Oakham black pattern tiles from Walls & Floors, or matt black fixtures like taps and showerheads.
We often talk about changing your rooms with the seasons, but this can be trickier with a bathroom because how much can you really change? It's not like you are going to rip your bathroom out twice a year. The answer? Towels. Towels and accessories. Pick out some of the best bathroom towels in hues that match the vibe of the season – so right now warmer, spicy hues would work perfectly. Super cheap too.
Mustard tones bring a cozy and comforting ambiance to a bathroom space in all seasons. That pop of color is sure to energize your morning ritual also.
'I’d say you can be pretty bold and experimental in a bathroom!' says Annie Sloan , color and paint expert.
'I’d look to your wardrobe for colors which flatter you, and base my color choices around that. We spend a lot of time in bathrooms looking at our reflections so choose a color which suits you!'
'Introducing a color pop into a shower enclosure is a simple way to elevate your bathroom décor from plain and simple to bold and modern.' says Helen Dennett, marketing communications manager for Mermaid Panels .
'Particularly effective in white or neutral bathrooms which allows the bold shower enclosure to be a striking focal point of the room with plenty of personality. A vibrant geometric pattern looks cool and contemporary when paired with black accessories to draw attention to the detail of the pattern.'
Simplistic in its 3-color design, this black, white, and gold Hollywood Regency gut renovation screams class sophistication and luxury.
'This dramatic black and white bath exude pure glitz and glamour,' says Sherry Hope-Kennedy, founder of SHK Studios , and member of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) ; American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) , California North Chapter , where she recently served as president; and San Francisco Design Center .
'Geometric striped tiles create a texture-rich background for the tub surround and floor. Shiny black surfaces – lacquered vanity, table, and pendant lamp – pair with gold-plated fixtures, and a heavily veined marble-tiled shower.'
In one word: No. Tiling your bathroom walls is an investment and by no means outdated. The key to getting the look right is to find the latest tile ideas and trends – choosing a stylish look that can still be timeless and you will be able to enjoy the feel of your bathroom space for years to come.
A contrast of colors and interesting tile patterns – whether you're into brights or neutrals – is a popular and simple way to add character to your bathroom design.
Barrie Cutchie, design director at BC Designs notes how even just upgrading one element of your bathroom can change the look of your space and design. 'When it comes to tying in a color scheme, your bath can have a pretty important role to play, especially if you are lucky enough to have a painted model.'
'If you are brave enough to go with contrasting elements – think color and patterns - such as the black and white tiles and patterned wallpaper, you need a focal point that will bring everything together into a cohesive design.'
'Choosing a painted boat bath is one way in which to do this. As a key item within a bathroom, it naturally draws your eye in, and by choosing a color that works across different patterns, etc. it can help to bring elements together.'

Before the pandemic, we lived in a generously simple world with mobile homes catering to the bare minimum needs on the road. A bedroom, convertible living room, kitchenette, dry bathroom, and that was almost it. Most of the interior was paneled with wood and the exterior was done in aluminum for durability. Now, with the likes of Living Vehicle, a Santa Barbara, CA-based boutique travel trailer builder – that has been marrying luxury and sustainability over the years – is redefining the word: luxury mobile living with the new GT series.
Electric trailers by Living Vehicle have been close competitors to the Airstreams. These models are designed to sell a way of life that in Living Vehicle’s ideology is “sustainable, off-grid, and luxurious.” The company has ventured into a new category with the GT series fifth wheelers. These models: the flagship GT39 and the smaller-sized GT32, combine off-grid fierceness with luxury that matches the feel of a yacht on land.
Designer: Living Vehicle
Living Vehicle has always focused on developing off-grid mobile trailers that can be used for full-time living, the Cyber Trailer for instance. The GT39 may be a different unit in approach, but its fundamentals are aligned with the company’s signature style. The fifth wheeler measures 39-foot long and features an architecturally designed interior. It fits the master bedroom – with a king-size bed and panoramic windows – in the gooseneck and is apt for sleeping four to six people with a living room that transforms into a guest sleeper.
The Living Vehicle GT39 model tips the scale at 16000 lbs but has, and we cannot iterate enough, a motor yacht-style luxurious interior comprising 8-foot ceilings, hardwood flooring, powder-coated aluminum cabinets, and top-of-the-line appliances. The living room with reclining seats has a 70-inch home theater system and fireplace, just adjacent is a chef’s kitchen attached to a bar that doubles as a workspace. Next up with the bathroom with a composting toilet and a teak-paneled shower.
Stretching the interior luxury into the exterior landscapes is the fold-down deck of the GT39, which is spacious enough to be used as an outdoor dining space or an outdoor kitchen at the campsite. The fold-down deck is covered with a folding awning. The interesting element of this yacht for the road is the option of installing anywhere between 2.2 and 5 kilowatts of solar panels on the roof. Stretching the entire length and breadth of the LV model, the solar cells can extend onto the awnings for additional coverage. To enhance the self-sustaining capability, this fifth-wheeler’s solar system is supported by a hybrid backup power generator and complemented by a battery pack of 72kWh.
Since the GT39 is meant for permanent, long-term living on the road, it comes with four-season climate control, along with smart home technology, and Starlink connectivity. Living Vehicle is now taking orders for the new GT39, but the pricing for the model is undisclosed. If interested, you would have to get in touch with the company for a quote.

University of bath generates 3d printed ceramic ink monolith.
Engineers at the University of Bath have turned to 3D printing to remove the so-called ‘forever chemicals’ from water supplies. Using this technology, they’ve generated ceramic -infused lattices, or ‘monoliths’, that can remove at least 75 percent of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) from water, among other substances. These 3D-printed structures are made of ink mixed with ceramic indium oxide, which can bond with the acids in the water. A 3D printer squeezes out this formula and forms a lattice structure, manufacturing the monoliths.
The engineers say that because of the indium oxide and its properties that bond with the acids, chemicals in the water supplies and bodies can immediately stick to these 3D-printed structures, thus being removed from them. The team adds that the operation can be done in under three hours and that this study and method are compatible with current water treatment plants in the UK and abroad. If proven successful, the 3D-printed ceramic ink could help eliminate harmful chemicals in water.
After testing, the researchers have discovered that their 3D-printed ceramic ink can remove up to 75 percent of harmful chemicals from water supplies. These monoliths even become more effective at vacuuming these perfluorooctanoic acids the more they are used. This is because the filters go through a high-temperature cleaning process after each use, which seems to improve their performance. The next step for the researchers is to study why the chemical filters work better with each use, so they plan to do more tests to figure it out.
‘Using 3D printing to create the monoliths is relatively simple, and it also means the process should be scalable. Once the monoliths are ready, you simply drop them into the water and let them do their work. It’s very exciting and something we are keen to develop further and see in use,’ says Dr. Liana Zoumpouli, a Research Associate in Bath’s Department of Chemical Engineering and a member of the Centre for Digital Manufacturing and Design.
In some places, especially in the US and Europe, there are already rules regarding how much perfluorooctanoic acid can be in drinking water and other supplies. It is one of the most common perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), and even if there are already rules in place, the scientists believe that they may not be enough, given how dangerous these chemicals can be to health. They add that stricter laws or regulations are likely to be introduced in the future to better protect people from these health risks.
These substances are known as ‘forever chemicals’ because they take a very long time to break down. In some cases, the process can even take over 1,000 years. These perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances are man-made. They are known to be harmful to reproductive, developmental, and cardiovascular systems as well as increasing the likelihood of diabetes. Some of the sources of these substances include domestic products, often with water-repellent properties, such as non-stick pans, raincoats, paints, fabrics, and firefighting foams.
