Let's face it, the bathroom is hardly top of the list in the home style stakes. You are probably more concerned by the family's inability to use a bath mat, or the neverending battle with toothpaste on the mirror. But there are ways of creating order and style amongst the soap and the tiles. Don't let practicality rule out character, take a look at some smart ways to jazz up your family bathroom…
White and a splash of colour
A simple white-painted space is a perfect foil for rainbow-hued bathroom accessories.
Colour coded towels
Towels can be easily identified by sewing on loops of coloured ribbon and assigning a different one to each family member.
Pretty storage
Smaller items can be kept safely and within reach on a decorative tray.
Be clever with storage
Make the most of cupboard space by inserting a magnetic spice rack at the back to help you store smaller items.
Brighten up the room with bright wallpaper
Colourful bathroom wallpaper around a splashback makes a pretty feature.
Get creative with window film
Patterned window film is a quick way to afford privacy in a bathroom.
Comfy storage
An upholstered storage bench adds a decorative touch as well as being a practical storage space.
Make the most of doors
Towel rails arranged at even intervals on the back of a door fill the space efficiently.
