Your Bathroom is an important room to nail as for most of us it’s the first room we go to in the morning, and the last room we see before we catch some Z’s. With a little bit of effort styling, it can take your space to the next level.
Scroll through some of our top styling products as well as some styling tips from editorial and commercial stylist Tess Thyregod.
Fresh and fluffy towels
Towels and bath mats are a great way to be a little daring and explore with colours, textures, patterns and prints! It also softens the appearance of hard tiled walls and floors.

Tess’s Styling tips
“ Styling a bathroom doesn’t have to be overthought or complicated. There are a few approaches you can take which can elevate a bathroom in a minimalistic way. Less is more when it comes to the palette of bathroom products such as towels and bath mats. It’s best to stick to one tone or colour which works well against the materials and fixtures in the bathroom. I like to not be afraid of colour, although when it comes to towels and bath mats l always tend to stick to muted tones. I try to keep daily hygiene products tucked away in cabinets to keep the countertops clear and just keeping out a nice hand wash or soap for daily use. I love to use shallow ceramic dishes to hold soap bars and pairing this with a ceramic or glass vase of fresh flowers or foliage always helps to brighten up the space. I love to find delicate stemmed flowers such as flannel flowers to add organic shapes but to also help soften hard finishes.
Adding plants is a nice way to elevate a bathroom and allows you to play around with scale. l always have a play around with pairing plants with different heights and finding unique plants that will thrive in a bathroom environment ” - Tess Thyregod
