TILE STYLE<br />

THE way to add style and personality to<br />

your bathroom - choices are limitless.<br />

Avoid following trends too closely and pick<br />

something you really love<br />

When choosing<br />

tiles, functionality<br />

is key - tiny mosaics look amazing, but you<br />

don't want them in high traffic areas of a family<br />

bathroom. Try to keep floor tiles low maintenance<br />

and add decorative flourishes in smaller spaces.<br />

Ceramics aren't the only option either - vinyl tiles<br />

and laminates can work effectively.<br />

green SPACES<br />

Houseplants are taking over - and<br />

we love it! If you have natural light<br />

in the bathroom, lots of plants can<br />

thrive in the space!<br />

The best plants for bathrooms are<br />

moisture lovers - these are our<br />

favourites: -<br />

Zamioculcas zamifolia (the eternity<br />

plant - so named because it is hard<br />

to kill!), the spider plant, most ferns,<br />

snake plant, aloe vera, cast iron plant<br />

and orchids.<br />

NO WINDOW?<br />

No problem! LED growing lights can be<br />

easily installed to help your plants grow,<br />

even without natural light.<br />
