From feature walls to quirky accessories from personalised wall art
to family photo frames, there are so many ways to showcase your individuality
in your home. It is easier to do this in some rooms than others; for example
personalising a bedroom might be perceived as a more manageable feat than making
your bathroom stand out. The fact is, you can bestow a personal twist in any
room and make your entire home beautifully unique.
Personalise your bathroom
furniture
With so many different types and styles of bathroom furniture to choose from, there
are plenty of opportunities to branch out and create something that is one of a
kind.
Love how the furniture in this room looks like real furniture - not bathroom furniture.
Give me some chocolate and a book and I would spend winter here.
Starting with the larger fixtures, you can make a dramatic design
statement with a bath. Rather than opting for a bath that sits against the wall
and blends into the overall décor, why not opt for a stunning freestanding
bath? You could even place it in the center of the room so that it stands out
even more.
You could also decorate your bathroom with a vanity unit that is
slightly out of the ordinary. For instance, a vanity unit crafted from solid
oak with a sparkling white circular basin on top is more likely to make your
bathroom stand out from the crowd than if you went for a standard sink and
pedestal.
If you want to add a unique twist to your bathroom on a smaller
scale, then rest assured it is often the little things that have the greatest
impact on a room. From door handles to plinths and cornices, there are plenty
of opportunities to make your bathroom completely exclusive.
Quirky cabinets and funky floors
Bathroom cabinets are not only useful for
storing all those lotions and potions, but can also be a design statement. You
can either blend these into the décor of your bathroom, creating a consistent
design theme and letting the unit speak for itself, or intentionally choose
furniture so that it creates a color contrast, giving the room a focal point
of interest.
A living seagrass corner four drawer unit is a far cry from the
standard white and chrome bathroom cabinets that garnish the majority of
bathrooms. Likewise, straying from the single or double mirrored cabinet by
opting for a triple mirrored cabinet can make your bathroom stand out. This
will also bounce more light around the room, making your bathroom appear more
airy and spacious. You could even use border tiles on the walls and floor to
draw attention to certain accessories.
Decorating your home is not just about making do with the essentials
and letting functionality cast a shadow over style. A home should be practical,
stylish and distinctive to those living under its roof. Your home is your most
valuable possession, so it should exude your unique personality wherever
possible.
