Creating textural patterns and surfaces adds style to the bathroom space

Whether it’s shower trays or vanity units, there are many ways to add texture for a warmer and more visually interesting scheme

Adding texture gives a bathroom a more dynamic and inviting design. The first question might be, what does ‘adding texture’ specifically mean when it comes to decorating and designing a bathroom space? Texture can be applied in many different ways from materials, such as stone or wood, to surfaces such as tiling or wall treatments. It can also refer to colour, contrasts and surface coatings such as matt or glossy, patterned or brushed, on anything from shower trays to vanity units. Textural patterns and surfaces add subtle detail to a design – bringing in touches of nature and adding warmth, whether you are after modern design, vintage style or a Scandi bathroom.

Accessories are easy ways to bring in additional textures. Towels – whether plush and thick, hammam-style or vintage linen, these subtle accents do make a difference. Accessories such as ceramic or stone soap dishes also look great.

Whether through basins, vanity units, wall treatments or shower trays, there are many ways to bring in texture to your bathroom for a more personal and attractive space, whether you enjoy the serenity of a Scandi bathroom, or something bolder and brighter.
