Style ideas

✱ In a dark bathroom, swap blinds for window film, so you get privacy without blocking out any precious light.

✱ Bring in botanicals for a fresh feel, gathering potted plants into unused corners or hanging from ceiling hooks and shelves to add colour throughout.

✱ Find vintage hardware at auction houses and antique markets for a fraction of the cost of period reproductions from bathroom stockists.
