Within this Powder room a natural Carrara marble basin sits on the beautiful Oasis Rialto vanity unit whilst the stunning Petale de Cristal basin mixer with Baccarat crystal handles takes centre stage. The bespoke bevelled mirror has been paired with crystal wall lights from Oasis to add a further element of glamour with monochrome wallpaper from Wall & Deco adding texture, and the four piece book-matched stone floor completing the luxurious look.

This client was inspired to go bold but her husband preferred to stay neutral. This was cleverly navigated by creating this scheme which is still light and airy with white walls but the terrazzo tiles bring an element of texture and fun.

The image captures a minimalist and elegant cloakroom vanity area that blends functionality with design aesthetics. The vanity itself is a modern floating unit with clean lines and a combination of white and subtle gold finishes, creating a luxurious yet understated look. A unique pink basin sits atop the vanity, adding a pop of soft color that complements the neutral palette. Above the basin, a sleek, gold tap emerges from the wall, mirroring the gold accents on the vanity and enhancing the sophisticated vibe of the space. A round mirror with a simple frame reflects the room, contributing to the area's spacious and airy feel. Adjacent to the mirror is a wall-mounted light fixture with a mid-century modern influence, featuring clear glass and brass elements that resonate with the room's fixtures. The walls are adorned with a textured wallpaper in a muted pattern, providing depth and interest without overwhelming the space. A semi-sheer window treatment allows for natural light to filter through, illuminating the vanity area and highlighting the wallpaper's subtle texture. This bathroom vanity design showcases attention to detail and a preference for refined simplicity, with every element carefully chosen to create a cohesive and serene environment.

Cloakroom Ideas and Designs

The cloakroom is a room where us Brits love to go to town on the decor. A place to showcase the wilder side of your personality! As well as displaying all those certificates and awards, your downstairs toilet can offer your guests a glimpse into what makes you tick, so unleash your creative side and have fun when planning the design of cloakrooms. Whilst these small spaces are often retro-fitted underneath the stairs or bolted on an extension (having replaced the outdoors toilet of yesteryear), the convenience of having a cloakroom can’t be underestimated. And because they are so often tight on space, specially designed cloakroom suites that work in the limited space are advisable – compact cloakroom vanity units or small cloakroom basins, back-to-wall toilets and bathroom wall cabinets. Browse thousands of cloakroom ideas to get inspired, or read on to get more tips on how to decorate your cloakroom.

How to find the right ideas for a cloakroom?

How do you start planning your cloakroom when you’re starting from scratch? Serving a practical purpose first and foremost, the ideal downstairs toilet is fitted with a few basic items: the cloakroom suite (a toilet and a hand basin), a storage unit and a mirror. These four are essentials and should be small enough to avoid crowding the small space. Specially-designed short-projection units are made to maximise space. If space is really tight, storage ideas are important. Consider space-savers such as corner basins and wall-hung toilets.

How should cloakrooms be decorated?

As with all small spaces, light and bright is often best – avoid decorating your cloakroom with any dark colours, although a well-patterned wallpaper can actually serve to open up the space if chosen carefully. Keep the scheme of tiles, wallpaper and decoration relatively simple, and create space with a large mirror. Also feel free to let the cloakroom reflect your personal style, whether that is sleek and modern or kitschy and cheerful, and it has become a British tradition to add liberal personal touches such as certificates, photographs, artwork and books. However, as the cloakroom is often small and the toilet will take up most of the room, try to not go overboard with the decor. One pot plant will do, as will one large mirror. A stack of fluffy towels, a fragrant room diffuser and some nice handwash and maybe hand lotion next to your basin, will be all you need to make visitors feel pampered and welcome. Choosing a fancy wall colour is a great way to make your cloakroom exciting – soon you’ll be using your downstairs toilet more than your main bathroom. If you're still unsure about what kind of design you'd like for your cloakroom, take inspiration from the beautiful photos and save the best one to your ideabook. You can save cloakroom ideas to an ideabook so that you can put together your vision for your newly decorated downstairs toilet.
