Although bathrooms should be designed for practicality, they don’t have to feel cold and clinical. Adding soft furnishings, natural materials, candles, and low lighting can help make your bathroom feel cosier, especially during autumn and winter. Discover the best cosy bathroom ideas to transform your space before the seasons change.

How to create a cosy bathroom

There are plenty of ways to make your bathroom look and feel cosy without a complete renovation. A few additions can make all the difference and won’t break the bank. Explore our favourite warm bathroom ideas to get inspired.

Use warm colours

Consider choosing a warmer shade if your bathroom is painted in a cool-toned white, grey or green. This simple update can help your space feel cosier, so discover the best colour ideas for small bathrooms to get started. Prefer not to re-paint? Introduce warm accents with bathroom accessories and wall art.

Add natural materials

Natural materials like wood, wicker and rattan can make your bathroom feel warmer, contrasting with cool, hard materials like tile or stone. Not only do wooden bathroom designs look great, but wooden cabinets, shelves, boxes and wicker baskets can provide extra storage. Alternatively, choose wooden bathroom accessories like mirrors, photos or artwork for a subtle nod to nature.

Introduce candles and soft mood lighting

Create a cosy ambience in your bathroom with candles and soft lighting. Whether you prefer scented or unscented candles, these are a must-have to help you unwind on cold evenings. In addition, fairy lights, tea lights and lamps can help transform your bathroom from a functional space by day to a calming oasis by night.

Switch to a rainfall showerhead

A rainfall showerhead provides the ultimate home spa experience, making your bathroom feel cosy and relaxing. We offer deluge showerheads in various sizes and configurations to suit your space. Alternatively, choose a dual shower for versatility, giving you the option of a rainfall or hand-held showerhead.

Create zones with a bath screen

In spacious bathrooms, a bath screen can divide the room into zones while giving you more privacy. Smaller spaces often feel cosier, so why not invest in a stylish wooden room divider to improve your showering and bathing experience?

Personalise the space with plants and accessories

Soft furnishings and accessories will add texture and warmth to any bathroom. From fluffy towels and bath mats to blinds, cushions, bath robes and slippers, this is one of the easiest ways to make your bathroom cosier. For a practical and stylish touch, introduce plants to your bathroom. They help reduce moisture in the air, preventing mould and mildew from building up on tiles or in your shower enclosure. Discover the best plants for bathrooms in our guide.
