Between copper and bronze

People may get confused about the difference between copper and bronze. While the first is a pure metal, known for its bright orange colour, the latter is an alloy of copper, tending to a brown tone. Either way, both materials go very well with whites and greys. And they will certainly add a touch of sophistication to your bathroom!

In this mood board, we chose brushed bronze for the tapware and the accessories. On the other hand, the wallpaper with a tropical pattern has touches of copper, the same colour as the mirror frame. The bath and basin have soft curves, matching the fluted cabinetry with recessed handles. Aiming to achieve an elegant look, both the sanitaryware and the vanity are white.

On the floor, marble-like tiles with accents in rose gold and grey. On wet walls, where wallpaper is not allowed, we suggest plain tiles in satin white, preferably in a big format.

Soaking in a clawfoot bathtub

How cozy is it soaking in a clawfoot bathtub? The feeling of relaxation will be even better if surrounded by elements full of character. As an example, the pedestal basin made of glazed ceramic with a hob-mounted basin mixer in a classic style.

To match, a gooseneck shower arm with rose and other vintage accessories, all in matte black. The same colour was chosen for the clawfoot bathtub and other accessories, such as the pending wall light with a glass globe.

Adding to the nostalgic atmosphere, distressed brick and cement-look tiles. Another good option is whitewashed timber, which may be present in wall panels or pieces of furniture like shelves and cabinets. A rectangular mirror with an antique white frame complements the look, along with plant pots in terracotta.

Powder room: every millimetre matters

When designing a powder room, every millimetre matters. However, nowadays we are lucky enough to have a few different options to help us deal with compact bathrooms and other tiny spaces. For example, you may use cavity sliding doors instead of hinged ones, being able to have a wide doorway to access the room.

Regarding sanitaryware, toilets with in-wall flush systems are great space-savers, for example, as the cistern is concealed inside the wall frame. You may use the standard flush buttons or ones with touchless technology, as you may see here.

Besides compact toilets, there are many models of slim wall-hung vanities in the market, providing clever storage solutions. In saying that, while some may prefer a standard mirror, others may opt for a shaving mirror cabinet. Some shaving cabinets can be semi-recessed in the wall, providing extra storage space.

Aiming to bring some coziness, we suggest using light tones of grey and accents in timber. In this mood board, we have a mirror with a frame in light oak, the same colour chosen for the towel hook and the pendant light. For the tapware, brushed nickel with a contemporary design and straight lines, matching the wallpaper and the floor tiles.

Get home and relax

At the end of the day, we just want to get home and relax, either soaking in a bath or under a nice waterfall shower. If you have the right colour in your bathroom, the experience is even more enjoyable! Sage green is perfect to create the feeling of relaxation, be it on the fishscale tiles, the freestanding bathtub or the cabinetry.

This colour goes along very well with whites and light greys, creating the perfect environment for relaxation. So you won’t go wrong if you mix this earthy greyish tone of green with a light cement-look floor tile. Or, alternatively, with a white-washed timber tone.

To complement the look, we suggest round basins in matte white, the same material as for the vanity countertop. Regarding accessories, we suggest brushed gold, such as a round mirror and a pendant wall light. For the tapware, wall taps and mixers would follow the same colour scheme.

In saying that, golden accessories offer a perfect match with many other colours, as you may see in other mood boards (here and here).

Dark tones and golden accessories

The first of our mood boards matches dark tones and golden accessories, celebrating winter in a luxurious way. To create a moody bathroom, we suggest a matte black ceramic basin paired with a black wall-hung vanity. The fluted door panel with a bevelled frame adds sophistication to the piece of furniture, altogether with the countertop and handles in Corian.

Aiming to bring some coziness, mosaic tiles in emerald green. The same colour is present in the wallpaper, portraying tropical plants against a charcoal background. For the floor, neutral dark grey tiles. Regarding the tapware, we suggest wall basin mixers with curved spouts in brushed gold and hooks instead of tower rings. To complement the look, a wall sconce with frosted glass and a mirror, both with golden accents. The mirror may be either round with a simple frame, or square with a vintage frame.
