Elevate Your Bathroom with Colour and Texture

Create The Right Atmosphere with Colour

Neutral and spa-like, bold and playful, or natural and grounding. Whatever style you choose for your bathroom, it's important your colour palette brings through the right feelings to create the environment you want.

When considering colour within a room, your first thought is likely to be the walls. But the colour you choose for your furniture is equally important, especially in a bathroom. In the bathroom, your furniture unit is likely to be the first thing people notice when they enter the room, making it an excellent place to bring in colour and style to enhance the design of the space.

Across our 10 bathroom furniture ranges, we have 19 finishes available, making it easy to find the perfect furniture for every design. If you're looking to bring a spa-like appeal into your bathroom, warm stone and crisp whites are the best way to go. Warm stone furniture brings a soothing and calming effect into the space that is a staple in spa interiors, while white furniture units create a bright and open design that resembles purity and indulgence.

Bold and playful designs carry with them a lot of personality and opportunities to get creative. Dark, statement colours are the best way to get bold with your design. Hues such as deep indigo blue, matt black and soft clay can be used to create dark, moody designs, bring in a pop of colour or make your lighter shades stand out.

The bathroom is known as a room for rejuvenation, peace and serenity and nothing creates a calm and grounding atmosphere like nature. Bringing the colours of the outside in not only creates a soothing space but also boosts our moods, creating the perfect room for rest and relaxation. To create this effect in your bathroom, opt for light natural woods or a finish for your bathroom furniture.

Accent Colours

Once you've got the main colour scheme for your bathroom decided, it's time to think about a complementary accent colour. An accent colour elevates the space, giving it a more professional finish by creating contrast and adding another element to the design. In a bathroom, you can also use this accent colour to tie each part of the room together to create a unified space. When picking the accent colour for your bathroom, opt for a metallic shade that you can use across all brassware, accessories, showering, lighting and any small details within the space.

One important thing to consider when selecting your accent colour is that not every manufacturer produces a finish in the same way, meaning that you could end up with a different shade for each of the items within your bathroom. We believe that having seamless coordination throughout the bathroom space is essential. That is why we work very closely with our factories to ensure that each of our metallic finishes is replicated perfectly across every item, ensuring as close a match as possible to create a beautiful design throughout the whole space.

Our six core finishes – Chrome, Brushed Brass, Matt Black, Brushed Nickel, Slate and Brushed Bronze – offer a wide range of design options when selecting your accent colour. From the bright, classic appearance of Chrome and Brushed Stainless Steel, to the indulgent Brushed Bronze and Brushed Brass, and the sophisticated Matt Black and Slate, find the perfect accent colour to complement your space. These six finishes extend across our basin and bath brassware, showering fixtures, shower enclosures, accessories, lights, shower niches, towel warmers, wastes, overflow covers and more so that you can bring your chosen accent colour into every detail of your design.

Add Interest to Your Design with Texture

Bringing subtle textures into your bathroom can elevate your design by adding interesting features and breaking up the smooth textures. Adding unique textures in a discrete way can improve your experience with the pieces you use every day. For example, our Asura showering collection comes with a choice of different handle designs, including fluted or hammered options. This subtle inclusion of texture brings a flourish of elegance and sophistication every time you step in and out of your shower enclosure.

Fluted textures are a firm favourite with recent interior design styles. This texture includes the use of vertical lines to draw attention to an element within the space. Our Tambour furniture unit uses this texture in a beautiful way by creating a stunning contrast between a fluted backboard and a smooth, rounded front. The fluted texture can also be found in our Limit furniture and brassware ranges which use this beautiful texture as the main feature of the piece.
