1. Coordinate your accents

So, shiny with shiny and brushed with brushed! This will look more thought out.

For a quirky and modern touch.

To make the room appear larger than it is.

We love these gold tones!

With a heated towel rail.

6. Paint the original floor

With bathroom-friendly paint.

With a new application or a grout pen.

And then paint them for a heritage look.

To create a monochrome masterpiece.

For a heritage feel at a fraction of the cost.

As a vanity unit.

Like you would in any other room.
