Goodbye gallery white lighting, walls, and sanitaryware. Say hello to mood-enhancing colour schemes that create a more relaxed and restorative ambience in the bathroom that is more in keeping with the rest of the rooms in your house.
Bathrooms are now a place to relax and spend time.
Earthy tones combined with warm metals and new materials create spaces that are in keeping with the rest of the rooms in your house.
Add molten metal colours to soften the overall look
Add rich saturated shades to your bathroom to give it a complete refresh.
Start with a checkerboard tiled floor, add cocoa chocolate brown walls with a textured wainscoting for added impact, and paint the vanity a similar shade.
Add jewel tones with Irish shower brand Flair’s ETO sliding door in an alcove set-up and a tactile brushed bronze finish, from €1268.
Make your vanity fair
Add a pop of colour with Irish household name Sonas’ Living basin in a contemporary oval shape.
As well as instantly modernising the space, it comes in a range of soft offbeat colours such as Metro Blaze, the coral shade pictured, as well as Riverside, an intense blue, City Stone, a soft grey, Parkland, a spring green and a matt black option.
Prices are from €395. The matt black mixer tap pictured costs €305 and comes in brushed gold or nickel options.
Classic with a colour hit
Neptune’s Chichester double washstand with doors, 124cm, features a smooth Carrara marble surface with undermounted ceramic basins.
Suited to a primary ensuite, each sink has cupboards with shelving and cubbyholes.
Pictured painted in Blakeney blue, you also have the option to request a second colour for the interior. Prices start from about €3,814, excluding delivery.
Add a pair of antique-style mirrors or wall lights to add classic symmetry to the space.
Deep textural tones
Ēclos debut Eclectic Veins collection by Cosentino is designed to deliver deep and textural tones to your bathroom.
The vanity top and surround are Legnd, while the walls and floor are clad in Phantome, two earthy colours with warm undertones whose veining runs completely through the core and thickness of the slab rather than just sitting on the surface.
Formulated completely without crystalline silica in its composition, prices within this range start from €979 per square metre. For more information, visit cosentino.com/en-ie
