bathroom accessories

“Colours, like features, follow the changes of the emotions” Pablo Picasso

It seems colourful bathrooms are making a comeback. This is because the bathroom is now much more just a place to simply wash and go. So, it stands to reason that we are investing more thought into the aesthetics of this space. And this is where colour plays such an important role.

“Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you." Anon

 I am a huge fan of luxury statement mirrors. They are a fast, effective way to transform any room – but they really make a difference in the bathroom. It's easy to make the mistake of choosing your mirror last, almost as an afterthought. However, ideally they should feature in the room plan right from the start, in order to complement and enhance the colour scheme and design. Of course, it’s never too late to make changes – but this is not a job that should be rushed. There are lots of different elements to consider when choosing the right luxury bathroom mirrors for a home. So, do take plenty of time to think hard about size, shape, colour, location, material and style.

I got together with UK blogger Sarah at Style & Décor recently to join her in a Q&A on her blog. She wanted to know which key bathroom décor ideas to expect this year and so much more. Just in case you missed it, you can see my interview with Sarah here:-

Here at Origins Living we’re always gazing into the future, looking into our crystal ball to predict what will be trending in bathroom interiors for the next 12/24 months.

Fashion and interior shows have been going wild for white. Scroll on Instagram and pin on Pinterest where you won’t escape images featuring white outfits and home decor. And, what’s big in clothing and homewares doesn’t take long to flow into bathrooms.

So, we can see… white taps, accessories and framed mirrors… making a big splash in 2020 and beyond.

Responding to our prediction for the demand in white fittings, we’re introducing a matt white finish to our best-selling City and Docklands mirrors and ever-popular Tecno Project range.

Available soon.

Scope Bathrooms regularly specifies Origins Living products for hotels, and this most recent project has seen eight individually designed luxury suites supplied with items from the Sonia Tecno Project collection. The Peat Inn near St Andrews, Fife which dates back to the 1700s is owned by award winning Chef and columnist Geofrrey Smeddle and his wife Katherine.
