10 Stunning Finishing Touches for Your Bathroom Refit
Your bathroom should be a haven of tranquility and the first place you go after a hard day at work to unwind in the tub with a glass of wine.
Ensure your new bathroom is a stress-free and beautiful space with these serene and stylish finishing touches, sure to have you planning a bathroom refit after reading.
Interesting Mirrors
Don’t settle for regular rectangles – go for circles, arches (like in the image above), or any kind of interesting shape you can think of.
Don’t light these with naked bulbs around the edges either. This outdated concept has been replaced by chic up-lighting or sophisticated sconces placed each side of the mirror.
Floating Fixtures
The latest contemporary trend for bathrooms is ‘floating’ fixtures and facilities – think toilets and sinks with no stems or feet on the ground; sturdily fixed to the wall. They make impressive feats and keep your bathroom looking clean and modern.
Stylish Drainage
That’s right, no avenues of the latest interior design trends have been left unexplored here.
Add wow-factor to your shower cubicle with unique, interesting and functional drainage – like water that flows in a kind of river-effect down the edge of the shower facility, or matte black drain gates to match all the fixtures and fittings in your bathroom, in modern home design’s most coveted colorway.

Modern Lighting
Even in the most luxuriously decorated rooms, bad lighting completely spoils the atmosphere – it really makes or breaks a room’s ambiance.
Invest in some of these gorgeous lighting solutions to ensure your bathroom conveys an air calm and tranquility.
- A small crystal chandelier will look chic in any bathroom, especially located above the bathtub.
- Up-lighting is the new trend you need to know about: it offers soft lighting from below your fixtures to light the room and your face in flattering vibrancy.
- Placing a few wall sconces in your bathroom means that you avoid harsh overhead lighting. They come in thousands of different designs to choose from, so you’re sure to find some that fit your tastes exactly.
- Always have a collection of floating candles at hand for treating yourself to a luxury bath – finish with a splash of your favorite essential oil.
Fresh Flowers
Keep a vase in your bathroom and stock it with fresh flowers to keep it smelling beautiful at all times!
Signature Scent
Develop your bathroom’s signature scent with complementary fragrances. Use a combination of diffusers, candles, flowers, room sprays and of course your perfume collection to keep the room smelling delightful.
Matchy Matchy
Decide on a color scheme for your bathroom and stick with it – that includes all fixtures (like taps, handles, bins, toilet brushes), soaps, decorations, bath mats, towels and robes.
Basically, anything you keep on display in the room should complement each other, and anything that doesn’t, like cosmetic products, should be decanted into matching tubs or hidden away!
Discreet Storage
Keep the room looking clean and simple by concealing your storage facilities. Think hiding your medicine cabinet behind a mirror or installing drawers that blend into wall coloring. Store all unused towels and products out of the way under your sink unit.
Bath Tray
A beautiful bath tray is both efficient and a lovely decoration in its own right. Enjoy a bath in peace with all you need to stay in the tub for hours – great bath trays include a drinks holder for your wine glass or tea cup, space for snacks, a book holder, and phone stand to keep it secure from falling in the water. Conduct your FaceTime calls from the tub from now on!
Feature Tiles
Artfully-placed (and not overdone) feature tiles add a touch of spark and personality to any bathroom. Whether they’re in a bold colorway, are patterned, or hand painted, they make a lovely addition to the room and ensure it looks truly unique.
