Glow from head to toe

Recreate the zen feeling of a break away with warm, ambient lighting reminiscent of a spa. Wall lighting is the easiest way to achieve this and our range of contemporary styles fit with a luxury aesthetic.

If you want to add a bit of drama into your space, consider adding a statement ceiling light for a stylish feature. Choose a crystal cut glass shade to really turn up the glamour.

Think about using recessed downlights and spotlights as a subtle way to shine the spotlight on anything you need a little more lit up, like a mirror. To adapt your lighting depending on task, add dimmer controls. For this you’ll need a dimmable bulb and a dimmer switch. This means you can create calm, soft light when you’re relaxing and turn it up when you need more.

Monochrome moments 

If understated luxe is your thing, then monochrome is the trend you need to know. Black and white has always been a sophisticated palette choice, so now we’re taking the timeless elegance and giving it a modern twist.  

From sleek and simple glossy tiles to decadent patterned pieces, there’s no end to the ways you can use monochrome in your bathroom. With some textured finished you can elevate the look to the next level. For full drama, try our Milaino mosaic tiles with a glossy glass effect that will reflect the light and make your space feel bigger.

The power of the shower

Whether it’s getting you ready to take on the day or washing away the stress before bed, your shower is a sacred space. When your shower looks like luxury, you’ll feel like a VIP. Swapping the traditional white tiles for a pop of colour creates character and sets the perfect mood.

Put a modern twist on your shower enclosure with the Splashwall Impressions Cararra marble effect panel. This stunning panel may look like it costs the earth. In fact, it’s a cost effective and durable alternative to tiling. If you’re feeling bold, the Splashwall brushed black tile effect panel is a gorgeous way to add depth without having to redo the whole bathroom.
