W hile bathrooms may be one of the to get right. There are so many design elements that need to be considered and I am going to give you my simplified version of how I begin the design process! 1) Begin with your colour palette, keeping in mind that colours can have a profound impact on our moods: • Your colour palette can be determined by zeroing in on spaces that you tend to gravitate towards, by drawing smallest spaces in our homes, I also feel they are one of the most difficult spaces inspiration from your surroundings (nature’s colour combinations will never let you down) or even objects. • Sticking to a maximum of three colours is a good rule of thumb.
