We love bathroom inspiration. For many of us, our bathroom can be a relaxing retreat from the stress of day-to-day life. A relaxing bath at the end of the day, or time spent pampering before a night out; your bathroom can provide some well-deserved you time. Whatever the size of your bathroom, some simple calming décor and luxuriously soft bath linen can transform your bathroom into the spa of your dreams. Don’t believe us? Run a bath, light some candles and be inspired by our five favourite bathroom inspirations.

Black and white

This truly stylish bathroom takes inspiration from sophisticated Scandinavian design. Black or dark grouting with square white tiles continues to be a rising trend, and dark grouting hides dirt better than white, making it a practical choice as well. The tiled walls are paired with a simple black and white checked tile floor and simple white bath towels to make coordination heaven. Creating a statement with your bathtub is also an easy style choice, simply paint the outside a dark shade to contrast with the stark white interior.

Traditionally classic

For those with refined tastes, look to this completely classic bathroom inspiration. A distinguished claw-foot bathtub in the centre of the room makes warm and bubbly baths extra luxurious. Purchase super soft luxurious Egyptian cotton bath linen to compliment a vintage style basin. Finally, set the whole look off with creamy paint or elegant floral wallpaper in natural brass tones. This look is perfect for long and sumptuous pamper sessions.

Bohemian bathroom

Do something a bit different and take some bathroom inspiration from this bohemian oasis. A comfortable seating space can instantly transform your bathroom into a place of relaxation, and can even double as extra storage space for bath linen. Arching doorways and windows are a great way of softening the lines of your bathroom and gives the space a calming feel. Finally, liven up your bathroom with a jazzy tiled floor. A splash of colour adds a unique dynamic to the whole look, without detracting from the soothing effect.

Calming contemporary

This is bathroom inspiration for contemporary tastes; strive for an ultra-modern space with a focus on relaxation. A palette of neutral tones, from soft grey walls to natural wood accents, has an immediately tranquil effect. Additionally, clean lines and frosted glass can turn your bathroom into your very own spa escape. Opt for simple squared fixtures in white and natural wood to enhance the overall effect. As a bonus, a floating basin and toilet help to make this bathroom easy to clean.

Country rustic

If you’re not impressed by any of our favourite bathroom inspirations so far, this rustic retreat may take your fancy. Barn wood walls make a unique change from tile or paint, and create a chic contrast with the tile of the shower room. If you don’t want to add wood throughout the whole bathroom, use a few statement fixtures instead to achieve your rustic look. A trough-like free standing basin, paired with simple cotton bath linen and shower curtain, are an easy way of transforming your bathroom into a country paradise.
