Bathroom

A black toilet from Wayfair might seem like a bold move in the new bathroom, but Alice knew it would look right. ‘My mum still raises her eyebrows at it, but it goes with the rest of the scheme. I even found black toilet paper on Amazon to match.’ Black fittings, like her basin from Victoria Plum, were always on Alice’s wish list, as well as marble wall tiles from Wickes, which look smart, but provide a neutral backdrop. ‘We were thinking of keeping the original bath, but I realised that baths are inexpensive, and it was nicer to start with everything new and unused.’ The black and white theme has been carried on with dotty peel-and-stick wallpaper from Dunelm. ‘It’s so easy to use and you can change it whenever you like, rather than stripping the walls for hours.’
