Bold statement coloured walls or window treatments will excite and enrich a decor, but this is not necessarily the ambience you would wish for in your bathroom. En-suite bathrooms in particular call for a relaxing tempo – a place of your own for quality time to unwind away from the family.
If you nurture a passion for rich colours then the odd statement piece in an all white bathroom will not look out of place. The Hot Spice bamboo and woodweave blind will introduce distinct undertones of Indonesian style which is so often seen in the modern Spa style bathrooms. This dark wood colouring will look particularly stunning if there is a wooden floor or perhaps shelving in similar colour finishes.
If your bathroom does not benefit from much natural daylight, then an all white bathroom may be more of a necessity than a whim, although a very large mirror strategically placed opposite the window will always be of great benefit in throwing as much light around the room as possible.
A simple white bathroom roller blind such as the Kudos blind can be enlivened with an interesting shaped bottom such as the Wave shape with a decorative pull to match the bathroom fittings. Alternatively a slatted blind at the bathroom window like the Filtra White metal venetian blind will cast fantastic linear shadows across the floor, adding an extra dimension to the decor.
The finish of the Filtra range of venetians blinds is particularly interesting as the blades of the blind have tiny perforations which will enable more light to enter the bathroom when the blind is closed during the day as opposed to conventional metal venetian blinds, although light management with any style of venetian blind is very effective.
Textural contrasts in an all white bathroom are the key to creating a decor that is not cold or clinical. Plenty of soft decorative towels and a display of colourful toiletries will always add a touch of luxury as well as visual interest. Your bathroom should be the most sensual space in the house, so appeal to your senses with scented candles or natural perfumes such as a bundle of lavender.
An elegant swag of soft voile fabric swathed over a chic metal curtain pole will create an air of romantic decadence. The Swish Elegance extendable curtain pole is ideal for this look as the delightful glass finial will enhance the impression of the cool freshness of ice crystals.
