Walkthrough - Bathroom

Molly explains how she layers pattern and colour to make her bathroom cosy and welcoming.

Lesson Summary

  • The bathroom feeling comfortable was very important for me.
  • My 'Coral' wallpaper is used, the chair is upholstered in 'Berry' in the grass/sky colourway.
  • The woven rug on the floor is 'Chunky Cotton' in pink.
  • Adding rugs and linen has helped to reopen the space and feel mellow and gentle.
  • I have used Bagru in pink behind the door, you can purchase it here.
