Bathroom
Trade up your towelsFor a luxurious feeling when you emerge from the bath or shower, it’s a good idea to have some soft towels to hand. There are numerous gorgeous, inexpensive designs on the market, so it’s worth investing in a couple of sets. Don’t forget to include a bath sheet that’s large enough to wrap around you fully.
Go wall-to-wallLike a nautical feel in your bathroom? This tiny shower room, with its wall-to-wall and floor tiles – all hexagons –has a cabin-like feel. If you’re trying this look – along with the grey grouting – at home, invest in effective lighting, break up the tiles with a large mirror and paint the ceiling bright white to reflect the light.
Add a glimmer of glamourThere’s something particularly appealing about hexagonal tiles with a dash of mother-of-pearl or glitter about them, but if you’re going to use them wall-to-wall, ensure you match them with plain surfaces that don’t compete for attention. This vanity console is the perfect companion for the tiles, its glossy surface standing up to – but not out-shining – the tiles above it.
Play with scaleThis bathroom is all about scale-play and clever use of tone. The tiny hexagonal tiles give the bathroom floor the satisfying texture of a deep-pile carpet while complementing – but not competing with – the larger, marble-effect tiles on the walls. The black tile border around the edge? A neat, eye-catching detail, just like a tailor might use with a contrasting thread on a hem.Agh! Is it really over for metro tiles?
