This year, one of the big trends in interiors is Tactile Textures.  It incorporates bold design choices with a range of different textures, through the walls, floors, materials and objects used.  I especially love this look in bathrooms where it’s possible to create a luxury look with big soft towels, textured tiles and modern bathroom fittings that are set against contrasting items.

With tactile textures you can use rustic natural objects, such as wood and stone, contrasting against matt black smooth textures and bold and industrial concrete walls. A juxtaposition if you will!

My favourite pieces are those that really give the bathroom a statement look, the kind of look you would imagine for a wonderful spa or luxury hotel.  Wouldnt it be great to create something just as special at home?  The easiest way to create a striking new look is to use Bathroom showrooms as an invaluable source of inspiration.  The best ones can give you an idea of what you like and how much space you will need to make a design work and help you choose the fixtures that will work best and work around these.

In the moodboard I have put together, I started by choosing the Greenwich Boat Bath in Copper, (available in a range of finishes), my absolute most favourite item.  The copper option works well with the tactile textures trend AND the copper trend that is so popular at the moment so it’s a winner on both counts. Win!

For even more inspiration I’ve also put together a of some of my most favourite things, perfect for design fanatics and professional interior designers alike.  And if you have a big plan in mind you’ll probably need a professional fitter who will find the C. P. Hart trade page invaluable.  What’s your favourite bathroom style?
