The era of the stark white bathroom is over. Here are 7 ways to add a splash of colour to yours.
Bathrooms are becoming increasingly integral to the overall look and feel of a home.
That means an end to bright white washrooms and the introduction of colour into the space.
Try some of these ideas in your home.
Supersize your shower
Irish shower screen company Flair is leading the fashion pack with its new collection of minimalistic enclosures for larger shower stalls.
Its Eto Sliding Door, pictured at the lead image in this story, is in an alcove setting.
The frame is brushed bronze. It also features great design detailing, including a fully integrated towel hook crafted into its handle, explains Ronan O’Grady, its head of product design. Prices from €1,200.
Marble that can multitask
Reminiscent of striking veined marble, Majesty is a high-definition printed porcelain tile alternative that is available in some 21 colour options and as tiles or slabs.
A nod to the use of Italian marble throughout history, it offers truly creative options for setting a scene. Prices start from about €678 per square metre through London-based Lapicida.
The twin sinks are similar to the C.P. Hart x Kast Monroe basin with pedestal, which is made to order and comes in 28 different colours.
Riffing off an Art Deco shape and shown here with a pedestal, prices start from about €4,638. Prices are ex-delivery from the UK.
A splash of colour
Optica is a vanity unit with two drawers and a countertop by Rocca that offers an easy way to bring in a pop of colour.
It comes in three wood-look finishes, blonde, smoked and honey-coloured, as well as the steel blue, pictured.
The two-drawer 990 cm long design costs about €1,580, as shown, and includes the ceramic sink, shown from Davies.
Festive flavour
Make it Christmas all year long in the bathroom by adding a pop of vibrant red.

Bring in more colour by crowning the ceiling in a different but contrasting shade.
Tap out
