Small ways to bring a new look to a calm and contemporary bathroom.

- By SAM WYLIE-HARRIS

WHEN it comes to before and afters, one of the biggest ways to make an impact is in the bathroom - especially if a self-care sanctuary is on your wish list.

And bearing in mind how busy lifestyles can keep us from getting to grips with remodelling larger living areas, transforming a bathroom space can be just the ticket; especially if it doesn’t involve too much disruption and mess.

Here, Joanne Mailen, product lead at Wetwall UK, shares her simple and practical ideas for a small bathroom makeover - without compromising on style or functionality...

Choose wall panels for an instant upgrade

Wall panels are an increasingly popular choice given their practicality and ease of installation, highlights Joanne.

“Large format designs help small spaces appear larger - traditional tiling can close down a space - and wall panels with their seamless, trimless finish really open up the room.
