The bathroom’s importance should never be understimated. Often, it’s in this smallest room that we get the chance to make the biggest impact. Besides enhancing your quality of life, a great bathroom will also bolster the saleability of your property.

When putting together a look during bathroom renovations, think about two elements: convenience and comfort. For convenience, try to create efficient wash, makeup and haristyling areas; for comfort, establish a restful, well-decorated haven for yourself. No longer just a place to wash and go, our bathroom can provide sanctuary form the stresses and strains of the outside world. You owe it to yourself to get it right!

Carpets

Carpets are harbingers of, ahem, fluids, so opt for wipe-clean surface like stone or ceramic. The worst case of bathroom carpeting we’ve seen was in a tiny London home where the owners had gone potty (excuse the bathroom pun) and carpeted the floor, bath panel and even window ledges.
 

Hell’s bells, when will people learn? Bathroom suites can be any color, as long as they’re white. That means a resounding no to avocado, being and any offensive pastels. While filming How Not to Decorate, we encountered a bathroom with four different color schemes: a bath so green it looked like Kermit the Frog exploded in it, a coffee-color bath panel, a marshmallow pink toilet and, to top the lot, a navy sink with golden taps. When pressed to explain the error of her ways, our style-challenged homeowner proferred that on the lookout to save money, she’d bougt (in various stages) sanitary ware through local newspaper ads, regardless of color. Stick to white, and introduce color via tiling, flooring and accessories, instead. Listen to no one who tells you that avocado is back in style.
