Get ready to be inspired

If you've started gathering samples and seeing examples of bathroom designs you like, a moodboard gives you the chance to put them all together and see what fits together.

A moodboard is a curated collection of images, textures, colours, and ideas that visually represents the look and feel you want to achieve. It’s a powerful tool that brings clarity, saves time, and helps you make confident design decisions.

To create a moodboard, start by gathering inspiration. Browse interior design websites, magazines, Pinterest, or Instagram, and save images that resonate with you. Look for colours, tile patterns, fixtures, lighting, and layout ideas. Once you have a collection, group images that share a common tone or style. You can build your board digitally using tools like Canva or Pinterest, or physically with printed images and material samples.

It also helps you communicate your vision clearly—whether to a designer, contractor, or partner—minimising misunderstandings and ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Luxury Bathroom

If you're looking for a elegance and sophistication, then opt for the Luxury Bathroom Style incorporating spa-like rainfall showers, freestanding bath tubs, marble tiles and high-quality finishes.

Mediterranean Bathroom

The warm and inviting Mediterranean bathroom design is inspired by Tuscan charm and Sicily summers. It gives an earthy, aged aesthetic with provincial charm and natural colours. Mixing sun-drenched finishes, traditional cabinetry and natural wood with artisan tiles. Finishing with minimal décor to balance the overall design.

Costal Bathroom

Bringing the bright and breezy feel of the beach to your home, the Coastal style uses softer tones like white and beige to keep everything as light as possible. Natural, weathered woods provide texture and nautical-themed additions complete the look, putting you in a seaside retreat by simply stepping into you bathroom.

Traditional Bathroom

With a timeless aesthetic which is perfect for period properties and more modern homes alike, a traditional bathroom is characterised by materials such as marble, wood, brass and chrome. Beyond this, every element of the bathroom has extra detailing such as claw feet on a freestanding bath or bevelled frames on a mirror.

Farmhouse Bathroom

With a warm, neutral palette accented by darker shades and metal fixtures, the Farmhouse style is a mix of welcoming and utilitarian. Natural woods sit alongside brass and chrome, with green or black furniture finishes, providing both striking contrast and and a cohesive look.

Surfaces, and how they effect the space and combine with your colour choice, is an important element of your new bathroom project. From a practical perspective, your bathroom will be home to a high degree of humidity, creating large amounts of moisture on your surfaces. This means the floor, walls and any furniture must be able to withstand this. It is essential to use waterproof materials for bathroom walls, such as plasterboard, to ensure durability and moisture resistance.

When preparing and installing surfaces, keep in mind that brick walls, which may be part of the existing structure, require different handling compared to other wall types like timber studs or sheeted walls.

For flooring, tiles are a safe option and a key consideration in bathroom design. There are various flooring materials available, such as porcelain, terrazzo, and wood-like tiles, each offering different aesthetics and levels of durability suitable for bathrooms. Ceramic tiles are more affordable, easier to install and come in a wide variety of colours, whereas porcelain is typically more expensive and requires professional installation, but is harder wearing.

Paint and wallpaper can be used on the walls, but again the moisture and humidity should be considered. Wallpaper, for example, can offer some eye-catching patterns and illustrations. The only potential drawback is that supplemental ventilation, such an extractor fan, may be needed to insure longevity.

There are huge amounts of suitable paint options, in a wide range of colours, but bear in mind you’ll likely need to touch up the paint after 3-5 years. When choosing paints, it's important to select high-quality paints specifically designed for bathrooms, such as kitchen and bathroom paints, to ensure durability and proper colour matching. Both wallpaper and paint tend to be less durable than tiles as well, being less resistant to spills.

Bathroom wallpaper is available, and is specially designed to resist moisture, heat, and humidity. Unlike regular wallpaper, it often uses vinyl or water-resistant coatings to prevent peeling and mold. These materials make it suitable for steamy environments, maintaining durability and aesthetic appeal even near sinks or bathtubs.

Another idea is to use wallpaper or paints to create a unique feature wall or to experiment with bold patterns as a creative bathroom idea.
