ONE SMALL CHANGE CAN MAKE A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE TO UPGRADE YOUR SPACE
FEATURE VANESSA RICHMOND
PAINTED PANELLING
Makes a characterful alternative to clinical tiling and you can easily repaint it
Upcycle a chest of drawers
A single or twin chest can be customised with a slab of worktop. Holes will need to be cut in the surface and top drawer’s base to fit the basin’s waste trap.
Give it a twist…
Switch glam marble for classic black granite or rustic oak.
Put up a hanging rail
A ceiling-fixed rail can be used to display hanging plants but also to hold containers or baskets for storing toiletries, loo rolls and towels where floor space is in short supply.
Give it a twist…
Swap industrial black metal for gleaming brass or gold to add a glamorous touch.
FLOOR PATTERN
Liven up a plain floor by painting on a design of your choice
GEO MIRRORS
Group several small mirrors to create a more interesting effect than one big one
Tile a simple splashback
Tiling behind the basin is an easy way to add colour, pattern and interest to white walls. If you choose large format tiles, you’ll have fewer joins to grout.
Give it a twist…
Save money by combining basic plain white tiles with a patterned strip.
TILE CHEAT SHEET
RUSTIC STOOL
Keep your shampoo and wine within reach during a relaxing soak
Modernise your bath panel
Use a piece of designerinspired marine ply. Have it cut to size by the timber merchant and sea
