We’ve often heard the age-old adage that you can really judge a person by how clean they keep their bathroom. The same goes for restaurants and hotels. The bathroom is often a neglected and unloved room where we do the bare minimum to get it passed as ‘acceptable’. To be fair, it is the first place you visit in the morning and the last at night so why not spend a little extra time in amping up the glamour of your loo? There’s no reason that your throne shouldn’t feel like one so here are some quick, easy tips on how you can turn your bathroom into a luxurious style statement.





Most of us are not gifted with sprawling bathrooms with two showers, two sinks and loads of space for decorative items. We simply have to work with what we’ve been given which limits a lot of our options. For starters, think about the lighting in your bathroom, most of the time it’s some harsh, white light which shows off every stain in your sink and makes even the most beautiful marble look ghastly. You can easily install a vintage chandelier or brass wall lamps to create an aura of luxury and glamour in your toilet. If you have a counter top, even better. You can decorate the sides of your mirror with some 1920’s style light bulbs to give you great lighting plus a sense of old-world glam.



We often leave all our toiletries lying on a counter or sprawled across multiple platforms giving the bathroom a look of disarray. A nice way to put things together and get organized is to invest in a few lovely glass bowls, marble trays, and brass hooks to put your items away. Hang your towels on the wall or behind the door, keep a small towel on a hook by the sink and find a carrier for your shower so your shampoos aren’t cluttering the floor. Not only will you feel calmer upon entering your W.C but your guests won’t have to rummage through your face creams to find the flush.



Wallpaper is a fantastic way to add a touch of personality to any room, even a bathroom! You can choose something minimal like a marble or brick wallpaper or go all out and find a print that you like. Something simple like this will completely elevate your room without too much effort giving you big points for style!



A dirty bathmat or tired looking towels are the easiest way to make your bathroom look super drab, without doing a thing. Why not buy some fluffy, fresh towels and if you’re even more enthusiastic, add your monogram on them? This small but effective change will evoke a sense of luxury and opulence that you could never get with mismatched, worn out linens. Use a small bowl for guest hand towels and if you can install a shelf or two to store your high-end towels, you can show off your style in a subtle but significant way!
