Cosy Bathroom Ideas

How do I make my bathroom look and feel cosy?

There are many ways to create a cosy feeling in your bathroom, with colours, textures and accessories all adding to the ambience.

Choose the right colours

Just because a bathroom should be clean and hygienic, it doesn’t mean it has to feel clinical. Most of us will lean towards the lighter shades for our bathrooms, but if you opt for darker, more opulent colours, you will end up with a cosier feeling room. Blue and green tones will create a more spa like feel, whilst earthy colours will result in a more warming atmosphere.

Consider different textures

Playing around with soft textures, such as fluffy towels and floor rugs, can help create an inviting, cosy feeling in your bathroom. Choosing materials such as wood rather than metal or stone, can also help to ‘soften’ cooler fixtures and fittings.

Think about effective shelving

Well-placed shelves are perfect for holding accessories such as candles, plants, and artwork, which can all add to a calming and cosy atmosphere. Try to visualise where your shelves will go and how your accessories will look upon those shelves. This may help you choose the best location for your new bathroom decorations.

Declutter your bathroom

Clutter in any room can create a confusing and busy atmosphere, which is not conducive to relaxation. Investing in practical, yet stylish storage solutions will help declutter your bathroom, allowing you to display only those decorative items which will contribute to a cosy, peaceful ambience.

Play around with bathroom panelling ideas

Bathroom wall panels are available in a wide range of different designs, colours, and textures, enabling you to create your perfect cosy bathroom. You can cover your entire bathroom in wall panels or use them on just one wall to create an eye-catching design feature. Why not play around with texture to see how it changes the feel of your bathroom? Colour can also make a big difference to the ambience of a room, so why not invest in a few colour samples, and find out which colour best suits you and your style?
