Use your space

If you have the space, a freestanding bath is an affordable investment in luxury. And whether it be egg-shaped, rectangular or oval, positioning is key. If you can't place the bath in the middle of the room, try centering it under a window. Elevate it on a slightly raised platform to make it really stand out.

Stay in line

Follow the lines established by a raked ceiling, as here, where the clear glass of the shower enclosure extends to the ceiling, as do the wall tiles. To further lessen the effect of extraneous lines, you may prefer to choose a grout colour that blends with your tiles. And let's face it, toilets can be an eyesore! But a wall-hung pan and concealed cistern help to soften its impact.

Hole in the wall

For quick access to toiletry essentials, carve out a rectangular niche above your basins or vanity with fixed mirrored storage on top. To make a feature of the niche, be bold and go for contrasting tiles in a bright, unexpected colour.

Tile it up

Take your floor tiles up the walls but stop them well short of the ceiling. Here, for a streamlined look, the extra-large rectangular tiles are laid horizontally and only go as high as the window sill and basin wall.
