31 Mar Ten Tips To Make Your Bathroom a Trendsetter
Bathrooms are now so much more than just a place to carry out your daily personal hygiene ritual. They are a space to relax and meditate in, a space to read (yes, read!), and a space to stamp your personality on. If you want advice on top quality bathroom finishes, and all the latest bathroom trends for 2017, then read on!
1) Mix and Match
Beige is out, patterned, mismatched tiles are so in. The idea is to move away from uniformed, matching tiles on the floor and the walls, and head towards contrasting textures and patterns.

7) Storage
This is one trend that will never go away, and one we always seem to need more of! From built in storage, to clever ways with shelves and boxes, storage is something you should give serious consideration to. A great way to optimise the space available to you is to have your bathroom planned to scale.
8) Free-Standing Vanity Units
They look fabulous and make a statement, especially if painted in a bold colour such as midnight blue, black or turquoise. Team it with one, two or three:
9) Round Mirrors
Framed in brass or other metals.
10) Wall-Mounted Taps
Excellent for smaller bathrooms, these little beauties give you all the style and also help you to save space. Go for something really bold, in gold or brass, for that signature 2017 look.
