Strong colour does not require lots of decorative objects to give a bathroom character. Our Aberdeen shower room combines green walls, white tiles and dark grey furniture, with tall cupboards beside the shower and enclosed storage beneath the basin.
The finishes provide the visual interest, while supplies can be put away. If you enjoy bold walls, think about how many everyday bottles you want to leave visible against them. Choose one visible surface for display and give everyday bottles a closed space where they are easy to return. Allowing sufficient enclosed storage can keep the chosen colours clear to appreciate. Open shelving still has a place, but it need not take responsibility for everything the bathroom has to hold.
