It is incredibly important to remember the finer details when it comes to transforming a room or space. Bathroom fittings, island textures, flooring or lighting is the key to bringing a room together and giving it that final, dazzling touch.
So this time round, we’ve got plenty of ideas for how to add those final touches to both your kitchen and bathroom — your favourite parts of your home.
Marble will forever have a place in kitchens and bathrooms: it’s a timeless classic. Coming in all different shapes, sizes and colours, marble is the key to adding the wow-factor to your kitchen island. As well as each piece being intricate and unique, this material bounces light and add brightness to a room.
Let's also not forget how useful this material is as a kitchen surface: hot plates and pans are safe from marking and its robustness means chopping is risk-free. The biggest selling point – this natural material gets even better with age. Marble truly is a magic material.
Make a statement in your bathroom and go gold with your fittings. Instead of white, adding gold as your shower, tap and bath fittings adds an extra layer of luxury and class to your bathroom. The gold is perfect for contrasting against pinks and neutral colours in your space.
Commonly white is used in bathrooms for your fittings and pipes, but we love the idea of going bold by letting them stand out through with the colour gold. This way they become a feature rather than something you want to blend into the background. It’s important to remember that there are plenty of gold shades to choose from, whether you want a rose gold or something brass, going gold is a winner in our eyes!
Terrazzo is becoming the new marble in many kitchens and bathrooms. This material originated from Italy and consists of marble, quartz, granite, and glass combined together to create a uniformly textured surface – perfect for walls and flooring.
It’s great at giving a bathroom a slightly more modern look, just like this one. Flickers of blue, orange, and white pair beautifully with these deep burnt orange walls. The terrazzo adds depth and texture, as well as playfulness to bring your space alive!
Terrazzo comes in all different shapes and sizes which makes it an ideal material for those who either want to go bold or slightly more reserved. For a tamer version, small chips in neutral colours would be a perfect mix or, if you are looking to add something slightly more daring, large chips in contrasting colours will make your bathroom dazzle.
Black is a classic colour and is perfect for making a bold statement. So often we see neutral and white kitchens — but going over to the dark side can add an element of opulence and richness to a room.
Dark marble looks like liquid velvet and is perfect for pairing against a lighting wall or cupboard colour. The black tap and sink, although a similar colour, are different in texture, allowing them to stand out against the marble.
We believe that black and darker shades in the kitchen might be well be the new white. Pair with stainless steel or matt black fittings for a sleek and modern look to your space. And the added bonus? Less dirt or mess shows up on black – a win/win!
