The Finer Details vs The Bigger Picture
When refurbishing your bathroom, it can be helpful to focus on the finer details of your bathroom, such as the handles or lighting, rather than the overall interior style that you’d like. This is because interior styles can be tastefully combined to make your own unique style, especially modern and traditional design which is becoming a popular trend.
… So we’re going to help you decide on the smaller details first!
Use Copper, Chrome or Gold Metals
Upgrade small metal objects such as towel rails and taps to copper, chrome or gold for a subtle and polished character. To prevent these features from invading the space, stick to small objects!

Install a Statement Mirror
Every bathroom should have a mirror, so why not make yours stand out from the rest? There’s such a wide range of mirrors, making it particularly easy to find one that suits you – whether it’s abstract, vintage, modern, light-up. While round mirrors are popular, other interesting mirror shapes can enhance a room’s look.

Replace Your Normal Lighting with Atmospheric Lighting
Bathroom lighting is often bright and sometimes overwhelming. For this reason, bathrooms aren’t always seen as opportunities for interior design, but rather rooms of function. This doesn’t have to be the case! Add warmer lighting and lampshades to your bathroom to improve your bathroom’s ambience.

Install Wall Mosaic Tiles
Mosaic tiles help to create an intricate and specific wall design, perfect for creating an eye-catching feature in your bathroom. Glass and metal mosaic tiles in particular reflect light and exaggerate the space, so work well in smaller bathrooms. The wide range of mosaic tiles means that they suit almost any design.

Use Natural Materials
Line a bathroom wall with natural materials such as wooden panels or stone cladding to soften the style and add texture. Nature in interior design is trending, after all.

Decorate with Creative Colours and Patterns
As for wall paint, warm neutral tones are in at the moment, but if you’re looking for a bolder style, hand painting a creative pattern onto your wall could be an option. This also creates a focal point for the bathroom, so would be paired best with subtle details around it. Use Dulux’s Colour of the Year, Bright Skies, for a really on-trend wall design.
