How is your bathroom looking? Need an update?
Creating a bathroom collection for Harris Scarfe was a dream come true. I often think bathrooms are overlooked spaces that don’t get much thought put into them; for a room used multiple times a day, it’s important that your bathroom is a space that matches your home and personality and isn’t just a tiled white box! And what’s an easy way to keep it fresh and stylish? Simple, classic pieces.
Tips for styling your bathroom
Containers For example, use glass-lidded containers to separate your cotton buds and Cottonwool balls and always use different-sized containers and heights to create interest on your bench.
Hand towels are a must! I always love to have a beautiful handtowel that matches, but I also love mixing it up with a brightly printed towel to bring some fun into the space.
Get Soapy! I love the hand soap and cream on my bathroom vanity that matches my towel selection; little touches like this can pull together a bathroom.
Lighting Don’t underestimate using lamps in the bathroom to create a beautiful mood. If not a lamp, then what about candles? Fragrance is always associated with a bathroom, and having a beautiful oil or perfume as your signature is a lovely thing to do. I always love a candle burning in my bathroom when I’m having a bath.
Keep it clear! I try and keep things on the bench to a minimum and, as much as possible, hidden away in cupboards, drawers and bathroom mirrors. Make sure to organise and have containers in containers so that everything has a place and doesn’t move around with drawers open.
Freshen up your towels. I love the smell of fresh towels, so I make sure I wash my towels every week with beautiful detergent so it always smells gorgeous. If you don’t have a bathroom that dries your towels, ensure you air them every few days.
