Not feeling the love for your bathroom? Renovating your bathroom suite is a costly project, so it’s good to know that you can restore its beauty with a few simple tricks.

With one or two of these decorating ideas, your bathroom will be your new favourite place to relax.

Hang up a mirror

Give a vintage style by hanging a pretty frameless mirror above the basin. For a quirkier look, try grouping together a set of three or four small designs, or choose two of a similar size and hang one above the other.

Add a hint of pattern

Upgrade your plain blinds or wallpaper with patterned designs – you can choose from striped or graphic fabrics. Choose an eye-catching colour scheme which contrasts with the room’s walls so you can inject an accent colour into your scheme too.

Choose a bold colour for a wall feature or paneling

Rather than sticking to a neutral colour scheme, add a strong area of colour to mix things up. Simply paint one feature wall in a brighter colour or, if you have paneling, paint it darker when paired with fresh white. It creates a lovely enveloping feeling that is perfect for a relaxing, luxurious space.

Match accessories to your colour palette

Invest in some beautiful accessories that match your room’s decor instead of frayed, mismatched linens.

Display beautiful fresh flowersAs simple as it sounds, this instant trick really goes a long way to turn an unloved room into an elegant, welcoming space in an instant. Add fragrance, too, by displaying sweet-scented roses, peonies, sweet peas or freesias.
