Keep it simpleThis clean, invigorating yellow family bathroom proves you don’t need to be flash to cut a dash. Chrome fittings have become timeless accessories, and a simple, wall-hung basin in a generous size, no gimmicks, is all that’s needed when the tiles are making all the noise.Note how shallow the basin is (would you need anything deeper?), boosting the sense of space. The gently curved edges also shave back a bit more room, at least visually, and opting for an exposed bottle trap, ditto (though this is probably a luxury if you’re short of storage, in which case a shallow vanity unit could be a good compromise). The basin is also a good length – a nice touch if you have the space, as two children could easily clean their teeth at the same time with a design like this.When choosing a basin with no vanity unit, or something that doesn’t have a work surface built in (as in image number one) consider where you’ll put toothbrush cups and handwash or soap. Basins like this handily have a ledge at the back, but if yours doesn’t, consider where you could fit a shelf near enough to serve your functional needs. 11 times a bathroom basin with an exposed bottle trap looked ace

Fill the sky with turquoiseCeilings are often the last thing we think about when it comes to decorating. All they require is a lick of white paint, right? Not always. Here, this stylish bathroom has been given a striking twist with a surprise splash of turquoise on the ceiling. The blue softens the brilliant white scheme. It does make the ceiling appear a little bit lower, but it’s not a big deal, as this lofty room can handle it, and the colour actually draws the eye up to the statement pendant.See how wallpaper can transform your ceiling
Fashion a style clashAt first glance, this is a fairly traditional-looking bathroom, but just check out the floor: these tiny hexagonal tiles are pure 21st century style. If you’re considering creating a similar look for your floor, heed this warning: you need a lot of grout – and the best advice is to use one in a darker colour, because white won’t stay white for long.
