Most of us have bathroom fittings that are white, this gives is a gear opportunity to really go to town with the colors on the walls. The white will look even brighter and the contrast is brilliant.

This is where you can really let your artistic side take over. Although blues and green hue are popular, mix it up a bit with some designs you either paint yourself or use a pre cut stencil.

The whole look of your bathroom can be greatly improved at very little cost by replacing things such as hinged and knobs on cabinets and drawer and door handles. Just replacing these few pieces will give your room a stunning new look and give a richness to match your new decor.

Tiles are old favorites for designers, and a few well placed will giving a striking effect. Put them at the bottom of the wall around your tub or even a few small ones dotted around the walls at various heights and varying colors will give a really smart look to you bathroom.

Lighting is all important in a bathroom; you don't want it too bright or too dimmed. Show off your decor and feature by adding lights if necessary, or changing existing ones.
