Make Your Bathroom A Winter Haven

Create a haven from the biting winter cold. Just take a few choice accessories and turn your bathroom into a place of bliss.

Soothing Colours
Natural colours create harmony in any room. When painting, tiling or wallpapering your bathroom, opt for oatmeal, biscuit or sand – all of which combine perfectly with shades of cream and white.

Luxurious Accessories
Candles, bath oils, flowers and handmade soaps aren’t expensive, and will make you feel pampered and spoilt. White candles create atmosphere, so invest in a few and group them together around the edge of your bath. Alternatively, why not fill a glass bowl with water, scrubbed pebbles and floating candles? Invest in large fluffy towels and facecloths, body loofahs and comfortable slippers.

Calming Smells
Stimulate your sense with good smells, especially the smell of incense in earthy flavours such as cedar and vanilla. Try scented candled or even potpourri. For natural potpourri, pile rosemary and basil in a stone bowl or wicker basket. Treat yourself to freshly-cut flowers as often as you can – they lift your mood and perfume the air.

Sensual Textures
Luxuriate in the pleasures of creamy soaps and thick towels. Texture is all important when it comes to creating a sensual haven. Try filling stone bowls with smooth pebbles or sponges.
