Be inspired by this period-style bathroom with a modern-country twist
Step inside this Cotswold bathroom that mixes period with modern country style. The hot pink blind gives the otherwise neutral colour scheme an instant wow-factor.

The homeowners kept the original bathroom layout as it worked really well. The freestanding bath against the back wall makes for a great focal point and the boxed skirting around the edge neatly conceals all the pipework. They opted for a smart vinyl wallpaper, which is perfect for a humid environment.
