Creating a statement bathroom involves combining décor elements that are both stylish and functional. We share expert tips to create a standout bathroom.
Find products to suit your needs
“A statement bathroom can vary from bold and beautiful to soft and luxurious, depending on the overall aesthetics of the home. Features like LED mirrors, heated towel rails, and luxury matt porcelain sanitaryware items all contribute to providing a sense of luxury at first glance.” – Candace D’Amore, member at Durbanville Sanitary & Plumbing Supplies
Create a timeless space
“Trends are fleeting moments in history. It’s exciting to explore Pinterest and be inspired by what others are doing. However, one must always be cognisant that building or renovating a bathroom is a costly exercise, as there is so much consideration that goes into a bathroom, such as the plumbing and layout.
“We should still love our bathrooms in 10 years’ time. That is why it is so important to create a space that is timeless. Victorian Bathrooms are specialists in the modern classic style, blending classic with contemporary to create a space that will last for years to come.” – Jonothan Goodale, director at Victorian Bathrooms
Have fun!
“Introduce a bit of fun by adding a touch of your own personality to the bathroom through the use of quirky accessories and brass, copper or black taps.” – Lee Nienaber, sales director at Livingstone Baths
Use colour, contrast and texture
“Use colour and contrast to make the space pop. Think of matt black mixers and bathroom accessories in a monochromatic palette to create high contrast. Alternatively, consider bold, bright tiles for the shower or backsplash. Incorporating different textures such as wood, stone, or concrete can add visual interest to the space.” – Lauren Beer, marketing manager at Vortex Sanitaryware (exclusive distributor of Blutide Taps and Mixers)
Seamless storage
“Integrate storage solutions seamlessly into the design to maintain a clutter-free environment. Opt for bathroom specific cabinets, as these are specifically manufactured to withstand the moisture and humidity in bathrooms. Ensure the cabinets blend with the overall aesthetic of the bathroom. This will help keep the space organised and visually appealing.” – Monika Krolewicz, design executive at Ferreiras Tile + Bathroom
