Bathrooms are no longer merely functional spaces lacking personality!

To stay on trend with the latest bathroom trends, Justine Wilson, Director and Principal Stylist at Vault Interiors shares her top DIY tips for a decadent bathroom.
“The bathroom doesn’t need to be the most boring and plain space of your house! Now we all seek a calming space speaking to stylish comfort. There are so many quick and easy ways to make your bathroom more glamorous!” says Justine.
Top DIY tips for a decadent bathroom (that won’t break the bank)
1. Upsized Tiles – Use large floor tiles and repeat the floor tiling as a feature wall to create a modern and glamorous look bathroom. This also makes the space feel seamless and consistent.
2. Gloss Away – Choose a darker colour or gloss finish for your floor or feature tile to create a luxurious feeling, as they are less stark and more welcoming then just standard white tiles. A darker tile will make a feature of your vanity or bathtub, as there is contrast so anything white will stand out.
3. Tap Ware Feature – Make a statement! Consider matt black, gold or rose gold tap ware for an on-trend statement feature.

4. Neutral Palette – Opt for a neutral palette so your bathroom won’t date quickly. A modern feel can be achieved by using straight lines and you can introduce items such as a square bath and rectangle floating vanity.
5. Floating Design – The “floating” design element is popular with vanities now and it a great way to create the illusion of space when paired with a large mirror which sits flush against the tiles.
6. Oversized Mirror – An easy and affordable way to enhance the sense of scale and space in the bathroom.
