CREATE A FOCAL POINT
Whether it’s a freestanding bath or a statement walk-in shower, draw the eye with a stand-out design that forms the central point of the bathroom scheme. A modern bath – such as Roca’s freestanding tub with an LED base – will be sure to entice visual attention. (www.roca.com)

OPT FOR BUILTIN STORAGE
A tidy, clutter-free environment is vital for setting the right mood. There’s little point in investing in high-quality surfaces and finishes if they are just hidden away beneath toiletries. Self builders have the advantage here, as it’s possible to create space for builtin bathroom storage right from the initial planning stages. In this project by Gregory Phillips Architects, floorto-ceiling handleless units establish a sleek, minimal look while keeping things clean. (www.gregoryphillips.com)
