Stealing ideas from magazines or if you are fortunate enough, from 5 star hotel suites, will help to give you luxury ideas for your bathroom. Whilst your bathroom should be functional, if you create a sensual space which is pure pleasure to be in, then your bathroom can also be your haven to restore your general wellbeing, recovering from the hassle of the day.
Bright bathroom lighting is not always required so opt for a choice of lighting, giving you flexibility and the ability to choose your level of light according to the particular usage of the room at any given time – good task lighting when required or a warm glow to bathe by.
Colour has a very powerful effect on our emotions and our perception of space. A modern streamlined bathroom with trendy chrome bathroom fittings and lots of white surfaces calls for a completely different range of colours to a romantic period bathroom with brass taps and marble worktops.
Modern bathrooms are streamlined and often neutral in colour – which does not mean they are dull; one-colour bathrooms will always look chic. Plenty of storage is essential for a sleek bathroom – keep bathroom essentials to the minimum or hide them away.
Completely white or cream bathrooms can be stunning in effect with just the odd accessory and perhaps towels in a powerful colour, not necessarily a primary colour, perhaps a rich chocolate brown twinning the colours with a matching bathroom roller blind……
Bathroom blinds such as a metal venetian blind function very effectively, being easy to keep in pristine condition in the damp conditions, just a quick wipe occasionally is all that’s required – the Natural Metal Venetian Blind makes for a light decorative finish, blending with the calm and uncluttered appeal of the pale tones of the bathroom.
If your budget will not allow you to get too carried away then a touch of hotel glamour can be introduced with just a tiny strip of metallic tiling with a venetian blind in a matching metallic colour such as the Gold Dust Metal Venetian Blind will make a stunning statement.
If however if your budget is not limited, then modern technology will set the tone for the ultimate bathing experience. The possibilities are endless, remote controls to fill the bath, showers with MP3 connections, fibre optic lights colouring the bath water, a flat screen tv strategically placed for bathtime viewing and illuminated floor spots. The five-star luxury of this style of hi-tech bathroom should not be upstaged by the window blinds, so a quality bathroom blind in chic toning shades such as the Blooms Champagne Roman Blind will maintain the glamour of the décor.
