STRIPES

Vertical, horizontal or a combination of the two, glorious graphic lines are about to take over

Add impact to your bathroom with a smart stripe. Bold bands of colour are a dramatic design choice, but they can, in fact, help to distort the proportions of a smaller space. Opt for vertical stripes to make a room feel higher, or use horizontal ones to visually widen even the most bijoux of bathrooms. The easiest way to get the look is with simple metro tiles.
