Take your bathroom from zero to hero. - by Aaron Clayton

Six ways to upgrade your bathroom essentials

We hate to admit it but bathrooms are often low on the list of priorities when it comes to interior styling and decorating. These simple steps will help take your bathroom to the next level without any gruelling renovations or expensive price tags.

Brighten and lighten

It is the finer details that make all of the difference. Treat your bathroom like a blank canvas and add a splash of colour with new towels. Think earthy rust tones, moody greens and calming light greys. Or play on the safe side with a set of white towels and look for colour in your accessories

Because you can never have too many tea towels. #countryroadstyle #countryroadhome

Accessorize

Don’t overlook the power of coordinated accessories. Just like you would with fashion go with a common theme for your toilet roll holder, soap dish and toilet scrubbing brush.

Screen detox

You probably don’t realise but your shower screen is one of the biggest pieces in your bathroom. If you have an unsightly shower or bathtub opt for an opaque curtain that will conceal the tub but allow light to flow into the room.

I've had a thick jumper on all day 🧤and had the heating turned up 🔥- loving the spring weather so far 😂!! It's definitely also totally acceptable for cosy candle light still🕯. We will be enjoying a night snuggling on the sofa and catching up on Seven Year Switch. We're addicted, but don't know why, as it's kinda like Wife Swap in Thailand, with hardly any scandal, apart from THAT photo 😱🤭😵..!! Have a good one 👋🏽. . . . . . #bathroomgoals #bathroomdecor #bathroom #wooninspiratie #interiorhome #theartofslowliving #thatauthenticfeeling #interieur #industrialhome #interiorinspiration #interiorstyling #ambularinteriorsaintgotnothingonme #solebich #sodomino #simpleandstill #seekinspirecreate #dream_interiors #homeadore #kinfolk #interiormilk #apartmenttherapy #cerealmag #lovelyinterior #livebeautifully #vtwonenbijmijthuis #bohodecor #bohoismyjam #nordichome #myhome #mitthem

On a roll

Add a splash of luxury with a premium tissue minus the price tag. There’s a new toilet paper in Woolworths now and it comes in a beautiful pink packaging. The new Emporia Skin Sense tissue with a Touch of Lotion is gentle and caring and feels ultra soft and smooth on your skin. It is perfect for the whole family and is also dermatologically tested on sensitive skin.

Go green

Bathrooms provide the perfect environment for leafy greens. The combination of low light, high humidity and warm temperatures will help your houseplants thrive. These include bamboo, Boston ferns, Ivy and orchid plants.
