Home & Style Finds: Back to Black

If you have a freestanding bath in your home I implore you to stop reading this post right now and go run yourself a bath.

Was that nice? I thought so. Were their bubbles? Ahhh.

Winter is here and my thoughts have turned to our nest and how we can make it more ‘us’ from simple and affordable accessory updates to painting and decorating (and starting from scratch). Making over a space doesn’t necessarily mean buying lots of new furniture and accessories (who can afford that at this time of year?) but being smart with what you already have, shopping second-hand and looking for bargains in the upcoming sales.

I have to be honest, I’ve been particularly rubbish at looking after our home of late (I am not my mother’s daughter) and I really need to get some organising done before I start looking at decorating and adding anything extra to our home. But, a little decor inspiration never hurt anyone, did it? So, I’ll be sharing some home decor ideas on the blog this week, including simple ways to update your guest bedroom, Christmas decor and home office inspiration too.

Today, however, is all about the bathroom and although I’ve shared a couple of luxury items in my list above (hello Aesop and Roberts Radio) it gives you a taste of what I’d love our bathroom to look like one day. It’s a small room and although it is functional it’s the one room in the house that could do with an update. It’s a bit bland, you know?

I’ve always wanted a roll top bath that I could sink into after a hard day at work (one of my adult goals) and I think it’s exactly what is needed to add character to the space. Plus, they’re not as expensive as I thought, or maybe my spending priorities have changed?! The rest was easy. Tiled flooring (happy with vinyl), black/grey textiles paired with copper/gold accessories to add a touch of glamour followed by a couple of plants to soften the space; dramatic and cosy, ideal for the cold months ahead.

Are you looking to decorate soon?
