1 WATER SAVING TAP
As well as being a real eye-catcher, the GROHE Essence E basin mixer has a spout that detects hand movement so water only runs when it's needed, saving precious water - so it's ideal for busy spaces like a cloakroom. With its distinctive cylindrical body and an elegant curved spout, the laminar mousseur provides a crystal clear, non-splashing water stream and also limits the water flow to eco-friendly 5.0 l/min. You can adjust the temperature effortlessly with a small lever on the side of the tap and it can be limited with the use of a small enclosed accessory - saving energy and cutting any risk of scalding. Plus the tap is more hygienic and quick to clean as there is much less physical contact. The solid brass body is built to last and the touchless technology uses low-energy electronics so the batteries last seven years - even if the mixer is used 150 times a day!

2 Add a Rug
While a bathroom rug might not be on your list of bathroom must-haves, they're a great way of adding a soft touch to cold, hard bathroom floors as well as injecting personality into spaces that can sometimes be seen as purely functional. Also, a rug can help anchor a color scheme, making it instantly more homely and welcoming. Floris Camelia (50 percent wool, 50 percent silk.) €1,275 +vat. illulian.com
3 STATEMENT LIGHTING
Usually, bathroom lighting ideas are a most practical part of bathroom design but why not make it more of a focal point of lighting. Why shouldn't a chandelier hang in your bathroom? This Matheny round chandelier will certainly capture the attention of your guests. Matheny chandelier, pendant light. £14,904. delightfull.eu
