If you want your bathroom to have personality, it needs some colour. However, this can make it feel smaller, especially with bulky storage furniture.

The trick is to create the right balance. Use a minimal amount of open shelving to store items that are used every day; these can be placed near and around the basin. For other items below-sink drawers are a good idea to store bulkier items like towels.

Mirrored furniture is a good option too. To make your bathroom seem larger, particularly if you’re using bold colours, mirrored surfaces will help create the illusion of space. It’s also the perfect materials for bathrooms.
