Decor experts say clients are going glamorous adding, for instance, some velvet via a 1950s chair reminiscent of the classic powder room, plus mirrors with film-star backlighting.
And in the ultra luxury market basic bathroom design has been replaced with new trends and accessories, such as heated towel rails, luxury soap dispensers, vibrating ceiling showers, Jacuzzi baths and even a place for a television.
Our magazine gives you expert trends and tips for your whole house, but especially this new centre of the home room.

“We have also taken a look at trends in decor for this year as well as gardening - with kitchen gardens a trend that will extend well into 2022 as people seek self sustainability,” says Warby.

“I hope this magazine adds to some of the calm in your life and provides a space to dream and inspire.”
