Special effects

Incorporate pattern and texture to add interest and personality to your bathroom – be as bold as you dare!

Go all in on pattern and texture to up the style ante in your bathroom or en suite

When updating our bathrooms, we tend to focus on choosing the fittings and flooring, and getting the colours just right. However, injecting some pattern and texture into the mix – on the walls, floor and accessories – can really lift the scheme by preventing the space from looking clinical, livening up a small room and creating drama in a larger one. From tiles and towels to wallpaper and window treatments, it’s surprisingly simple to bring warmth and wow factor to a family bathroom, en suite or cloakroom.
