Relatively small compared with other rooms, bathrooms deserve extra thought when being designed. Creating a calm, peaceful bathroom that feels clean and never oppressive is a small but effective way to bring a spa-like atmosphere into your home.Keep patterns to a minimum and focus on textures, choosing single-colour, matt tiles and cabinets with subtle surface details. A bathroom in closely related shades of one colour will have a tranquil atmosphere and a clean, uplifting character.

The first rule is to move away from sharp corners and bold, intricate forms. Oval shapes, softly rounded corners and fluid, calm, perhaps organic forms are essentials of a modern bathroom. Maintaining a sense of calm is vital when you want the design to emphasise modern style.When wall-hung basins and toilets form a coherent whole with the bathroom cabinets, even a small space can feel wonderfully open. Rounded corners also provide a soothing backdrop for a relaxing bathroom ritual.

Bathroom storage is particularly important. The layout needs to stay clean and orderly without quickly becoming cluttered. Cabinets tailored to your priorities should suit the size of the bathroom, keep routes clear and make everyday life easier.In small bathrooms, cabinets for neatly storing cleaning products and keeping bathroom textiles hygienically arranged should be raised off the floor, or wall-mounted. If you have a large, airy bathroom, taller cabinets with a stronger decorative presence can help you put all the clutter away.
