But you don\u2019t have to splash out on a luxury suite or expensive extras to craft something spectacular. Even the most budget bathroom suites can be transformed with a little creativity. Today I\u2019m sharing three of my favourite tips for designing a bathroom that shines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Statement Tiles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"467\" height=\"700\" src=\"http:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Clair-Strong-Interiors-15.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2861\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Clair-Strong-Interiors-15.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Clair-Strong-Interiors-15-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Patterned tiles create instant excitement and interest in a\nbathroom. You can have a lot of fun with them by choosing a colourful pattern\nor opting for a unique layout. Look to brands like Fired Earth, Bert &amp; May\nand Mandarin Stone for a huge range of really beautiful designs to get creative\nwith. If tiling the entire bathroom floor isn\u2019t within your budget, tile a sink\nsplash back instead. You\u2019ll need far fewer tiles and so it will be much cheaper\nwhilst still creating a similarly striking effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Creative Storage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" src=\"http:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Clair-Strong-Interiors-36.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Clair-Strong-Interiors-36.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Clair-Strong-Interiors-36-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Lack of proper bathroom storage is a very common problem. So\nmany bathrooms are plagued with bottles strewn across window sills or\ncluttering the shower cubicle. This doesn\u2019t exactly scream wow factor. I love\nthe little nooks in the tiling above; these provide a dedicated space for all\nyour shower essentials, whilst being an interesting design feature. There are\nmany other options for creative bathroom storage too, such as installing open\nshelves above the sink or hanging baskets on the wall. As ever, Pinterest is a\ngreat source of inspiration for clever storage solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use Colour<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"458\" height=\"700\" src=\"http:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Clair-Strong-Interiors-54.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2863\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Clair-Strong-Interiors-54.jpg 458w, https:\/\/www.clairstrong.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Clair-Strong-Interiors-54-196x300.jpg 196w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Colour can instantly transform your bathroom. You can even\nmake an avocado suite look on-trend with the right wall colour. Bathrooms are\ntraditionally quite neutral, so the quickest way to make yours stand out is by\nadding some colour. You don\u2019t have to go neon-bright to make a point; even\nsultry shades can be striking. Use colourful paint, wallpaper or tiles (or a\ncombination of all three) to immediately create wow factor in your bathroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All images copyright Clair Strong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating wow factor in the bathroom is all about going above and beyond what is expected.
