How to add a touch of warmth to your bathroom

Colour plays a pivotal role in setting the mood in any room, and the bathroom is no exception. To achieve an inviting ambiance, opt for warm and earthy tones such as soft beiges, muted oranges, deep greens, blues and browns. These colours, often referred to as ‘Mediterranean’ hues, can instantly make this intimate space feel more welcoming. Seek out colours that connect to nature and add a comforting experience to the place, where you want to relax and spend time.

Forest green is another inviting colour that instantly conveys a mood of relaxation and elegance. It’s a colour that manages to be dark yet emits light and pairs beautifully with many other colours from classic white and black to more daring orange and blue. The adaptable Ona collection offers several ways to tie forest green into the bathroom – through furniture and storage units as well as accessories including cups, trays and soap dispensers. The matt green colour reminds us of the peacefulness of a forest or a pine tree forest.

If blue is your colour of choice, deep blue on a furniture unit is sophisticated and inviting. It works next to lighter colours including beige, cream and terracotta and creates a dynamic focal point in the bathroom.

With interior design, accessories can make all the difference. Woven baskets, wooden trays for the shower, bath or countertop, or cork storage boxes, are practical solutions, which can also add texture and help create a cosy ambiance. By their very essence, natural materials make us feel better. Their organic materials connect us to the earth and provide an inherent sense of wellbeing.

Other ways to make a warm bathroom space, try mixing and matching different textures, such as stone surfaces or accents with soft fabrics. This contrast can create a more visually dynamic space, while rugs, plants and candles are other great ways to give this space a homely feel.
