Metallic Impressions

On walking into this elongated bathroom, the eye can’t help but be drawn towards the fabulous décor tiles by Dune. Appropriately named ‘Impressions’, the tile has a cement/stone look base, which is covered in impressionist styled brushstrokes. The enriching copper and rust stripes add a splash of shimmering colour, making the walls an abstract work of art. The accompanying ‘Hipster Metal’ tile also has a metallic effect look in a grey tone with rusty hues. It perfectly complements the Impressions tile and both are sized in the modern large format of 30 x 90cm.

Feature floor: Explosion of patterns

This creative bathroom has unique and intricate designs written all over it… well, specifically on the floor! The eye is instantly drawn to the patterned Odyssey Grande Pentillie tiles as we have opted to keep the rest of the bathroom plainer in comparison.

The walls are covered in Porcelanosa’s Madagascar Natural tiles, which capture the natural stone effect. The soft grey hues add warmth to the room and perfectly complement the patterned tiles below.

Small & dark is beautiful

A common thinking would be to choose a bright colour scheme for a relatively small space however this bathroom has gone against the rules. Besides, whites and metallics, which are a must-have in a bathroom look so much cooler against a dark background!

The wall and floor tiles are from the Interno 9 range by ABK in three different colours: Pearl, Silver and Dark. The gorgeous tile collection has the look of oxidised metals paired with the imitation concrete trend. The delicate finish of the tiles reflects the light, leaving a gentle shimmery surface.

Stylish and practical

Contemporary with an artistic flair, this stunning bathroom is the perfect example of how the choice of tile and flooring can completely change the feel of a room! The Karndean Van Gogh Vinyl in Frosted Birch is a timeless choice paired perfectly with the Grespania Tempo wall tiles in Gris for a chic yet classic look. The Porcelanosa Glacier Moon tiles in Metallic Black adds a splash of creative character.

The choice of the Ascent Delux Walk-In shower enclosure makes great use of the width of this bathroom for a generously spacious shower that is completed with a modern slate effect shower tray, Aqualisa Visage Dual Outlet Shower and Visage Smart Remote.

Natural and textured

Though contemporary, this en-suite bathroom has a serene, spa-like ambience. This has been created using tiles inspired by nature. NovaBell's wood-effect My Space Cloud floor tiles combined with the Park Acero wall tiles by Porcelanosa give an organic feel that is timeless in a bathroom.

Contrasting the natural looking tiles yet still perfectly complementing them is the choice of modern sanitaryware which are all finished with shiny chrome fittings.

A miniature palace

The best things come in small packages and this bathroom is no different! Although space in this bathroom is limited, it has been utilised in the most practical and stylish way.

The Palatina Polished wall tiles in a marble effect give a luxurious and chic finish while the white colour keeps the space bright. Laying these rectangular tiles horizontally gives the illusion of a larger room. The Lounge Dark Grey floor tiles by RAK Ceramics provide a contemporary feel and perfectly complement the grey veining seen in the wall tiles.

Grey Tones with Bright White Sanitaryware

The walls exhibit the gorgeous Rapolano dark grey tile in a large 25 x 50cm format. The intricate marble effect features classic veining and variance and is finished in a reflective gloss - a perfect backdrop to showcase the bright white sanitaryware!

The mix of textures works well with the addition of wood effect on the floor. The distressed appearance of the timber provides a modern take to traditional wood and the silvery tones give an overall chic contemporary look.

Stunning modern white & grey family bathroom

A family bathroom has to be suitable for the all who use it. This close coupled toilet by Phoenix, is a comfort height model, which is taller than the standard designs - great for taller or less able users.

Simple to use is this spacious Walk-In Shower Enclosure by Simpsons. It looks amazing with the bright chrome shower and set of corner shelves, suitably arranged at various heights.
