Showcase the Design Features of Your Bathroom
Want to draw attention to your designer wall lights? Or maybe your textured wall tiles need to take the lead? By sticking to simple, understated fittings, like in-wall cisterns, these all-important finishing details will be the focus of your bathroom, while the functional fixtures fade into the backdrop. What’s more, if you’re trying to achieve a super-sleek, hotel luxe feeling, a concealed cistern with a touchless mechanical flush allows for uninterrupted tiling for the ultimate minimal look.
Remember maintenance. Don’t forget, you will need to have access to hidden features. Choose a cistern, such as the one pictured, that has a discrete service opening that doesn’t interrupt the design, but that leaves enough room for repair and maintenance work. In this case, the mechanical flush plate can be removed to access any internals.

Create More Useable Space
It’s important that bathrooms are functional spaces, so hiding a cistern behind the wall not only frees up floor area, it also gives the impression of more room thanks to the minimal styling. And when space is even tighter, remote buttons can be fitted up to two metres from the concealed cistern, allowing custom installation in the most awkward of spots, such as low-height spaces or under benches.
Be clever with storage. Don’t fret, a minimal bathroom doesn’t mean a minimal amount of items, you’ve just got to get savvy with your storage. Factor in clever niches, built-in cupboards or handy ledges, and you’ll get even more space for your buck.

Make it Your Sanctuary
Be inspired by the soothing vitality of luxury spas and bring a sense of wellness into your bathroom. Introducing health-inducing and relaxing features will help create a space you long to come home to at the end of the day. Look to features, such as a touch-less flush, for its hygiene benefits, and introduce lush house plants to encourage cleaner, fresher air. You also can’t go wrong with soft, tactile soft furnishings and luxe linens to sink into.
Pop in natural element. Anything that suggests the natural environment, like wood, rattan, stone and shell, instantly convey tranquility and wellbeing, so ensure you have plenty of these touches dotted around.

Go for the Easy Clean Option
Let’s face it, cleaning a bathroom isn’t fun but someone has to do it, so why not make it super easy by eliminating nooks and crannies? By installing floating, minimal bathroom fixtures, mopping underneath is a breeze, while hidden pipework prevents that horrid dust build up.
Clean in one swipe. When it comes to design features, the less complicated the better. One-piece designs, for example, are easy to wipe around in one go, with less fiddly areas to deal with.

Consider the Layout
Wet rooms are a practical solution for busy households, however it’s important to consider the layout of your bathroom and ensure the water doesn’t drain past the toilet. Floating fixtures are also essential in wet rooms, allowing the floor area to be easily cleaned.
Opt for dark grout. White grout discolours over time, particularly in high traffic areas that are exposed to lots of water, so dark grout can eliminate the need to continuously clean and refresh it.
