Kathryn walks you through the La Castellane bathroom - a clean, simple and elegant space that shows how budget needn’t be a barrier when it comes to good design.
From the Lesson Workbook
The Bathroom
This bathroom is a sanctuary for me, and I love how the colour in the room comes from easily switched out fabrics rather than expensive fixtures and fittings.
- I like to use classical pieces such as pedestal sinks, white tiles and traditional taps. This can create a timeless feel within a bathroom.
- I try to incorporate some personal things such as my children's artwork to create a homely feeling, rather than a hotel.
- I have used white subway tiles in my bathroom, as this is a great way to create a blank canvas to add colour into your bathroom with other things such as towels, art work or rugs.
- I like to use candles in the bathroom to create a calming, relaxing feeling.
