Combine pops of colour with muted greys for a bathroom that makes an impression.
Hang it high
This hanging storage unit from Ikea is handmade and can be slung over the top of your door. It’s a great place to keep all those spare toiletries and hand towels.

Smelling great
A scented candle is a must in any bathroom, and we love the simplicity of this piece from Typo, which combines a dark blue metal container with a pale-wood top. The mango and guava scent also gets a big thumbs up.

Child’s play
Storage is essential in preventing any bathroom from becoming a cluttered mess – and the more unassuming your storage solutions, the better. We like these grey baskets by Overbeck and Friends. They’re actually intended for children’s toys, which means they are sturdy enough to handle some serious wear and tear.

Towel trick
Treat yourself to some really plush towels – they will last longer and make you feel better. This jaunty, bright-blue set from Calvin Klein Home will do the trick nicely.

Brilliant bathing
For a double dose of pattern and colour, you can’t beat Missoni’s distinctive, jagged-edged stripes. Make this designer buy the central feature in your bathroom, then decorate around it.
