Redesigning your bathroom is the perfect opportunity to go beyond function and bring in real style. Whether you're aiming for a spa-like retreat or a bold, modern statement, your bathroom can become one of the most stunning rooms in the house - with the right design choices. Here are five impactful ideas to add style to your bathroom during a full renovation.

Choose Statement Sanitaryware

Gone are the days when white ceramics were the only option. One of the biggest style upgrades you can make is selecting statement sanitaryware - think matt black basins, bold coloured baths, or sculptural sinks that double as centrepieces.


Freestanding bathtubs, countertop basins, and wall-hung toilets can all give your bathroom a modern edge and help define the space’s aesthetic. During a full redesign, you have the freedom to reposition plumbing and fully integrate these standout features into the layout.

Elevate with Textured or Patterned Tiles

Tiles are a powerful design tool and when you're redoing the entire room, you can use them to dramatic effect. Instead of playing it safe with plain finishes, consider:

  • Textured stone or concrete-effect tiles for a natural, tactile feel

  • Bold patterned floors for a boutique hotel look

  • Feature walls in herringbone or chevron layouts for added depth and dimension

When used thoughtfully, tile design can completely change the atmosphere of your bathroom — from calm and organic to striking and contemporary.

Design a Bespoke Vanity or Storage Solution

A fully redesigned bathroom gives you the chance to ditch off-the-shelf furniture and create custom-built storage that fits the space perfectly and enhances the overall style.

Consider:

  • Floating vanities for a clean, modern look

  • Integrated shelving niches in walls or showers

  • Handleless cabinetry for a sleek, minimalist feel

  • Natural wood finishes to add warmth and contrast

Custom storage also helps maintain a clutter-free look, making your bathroom feel more luxurious and refined.

Introduce Ambient & Layered Lighting

Lighting can make or break the atmosphere of a bathroom. With a full redesign, you’re not limited to a single overhead fixture. Instead, create a layered lighting scheme that includes:

  • Concealed LED strips under vanities or behind mirrors

  • Wall-mounted sconces for soft, flattering illumination

  • Statement pendant lights or chandeliers for added glamour

  • Mood lighting zones, ideal for relaxing soaks

During the design stage, we ensure all lighting is pre-wired and fully integrated for a seamless finish.

Go Bold with Colour and Materials

A bathroom redesign is the perfect time to be bold. While white and grey remain timeless, don't be afraid to explore deep greens, navy blues, soft blush tones, or even black for a more striking effect.

Pair your colour palette with rich materials like:

  • Bronze or brushed brass fixtures

  • Marble or quartz surfaces

  • Fluted glass or wood detailing

The right mix of colour and materials adds personality and makes your bathroom feel truly bespoke.


A stylish bathroom isn’t just about choosing trendy accessories, it’s about making bold, considered design choices from the ground up. With a complete redesign, you have the freedom to build a bathroom that not only functions beautifully but reflects your personal style and elevates your home.
