Your colours have to reflect your tastes – but why do we go for certain ones over others? Sophie Robinson suggests we have “colour personalities” that match our universal tastes. By sticking to these colour profiles, whatever the trends that come and go, we can be sure our space reflects our identity, and therefore will feel more like home.

You can also pick colours to create a different mood, whether you want to feel creative, enlivened or energetic (reds, yellows and oranges), calm and collected (blues and purples) or simply surrounded by cleanliness and minimalism (whites/light greys). If you want to feel closer to nature, then browns, sage green (see Olive) and rich terracotta (see Santal) could be a good fit.

A gallery wall with your personal mementos and photos is a great way to put your stamp on your bathroom so it feels like home. A candle with your favourite scent on a shelved wall, a range of black and white images of your loved ones, a print you picked up on an amazing family holiday – these are just a few of the ideas you can opt for to create a beautifully bespoke bathroom.

Having a bucket chair with a solid back in your bathroom space is a fantastic touch to give you feelings of comfort and safety. It’s somewhere you can sit while painting your nails or indulging in a well-earned face mask. It’s the ideal pamper time accompaniment.

Biophilia is all about your relationship to nature, getting in touch with our primal instincts and connecting with the world beyond the bathroom walls. You can incorporate biophilia with a living wall, house plants or simply images of greenery, such as a flower or a landscape.

All these aspects add to a space that’s beneficial to your wellbeing – if you tick all of them off, you’ll have the colours you want, a personalised look and feel, a strong connection to nature and a feeling of cosiness and safety.
