1. Neo classic  

  • This moody, masculine look is grounded by a rich, dark base broken up with the use of luxe textures.
  • A bright white ceiling offsets the richness of the base colour and brings light and levity to the scheme.
  • Quality accessories are key – splash out on luxe leather, crafted glass, marble and heritage-style fittings.
  • Stick to a muted palette that’s timeless and refined.

3. Contemporary edge  

  • A chalky paint hue, such as pale pink, teamed with soft white creates a fresh, calming, modern look.
  • Keep the hues light and dusty to avoid veering into the realm of candy colours, which can get old fast.
  • Accents in black, gold and pale marble keep this look contemporary and stylish.
  • Soft, feminine forms recall the shapes of the body and are offset by clean lines in tiling and hardware.
