Bathroom inspiration: Eight beautiful showers

Stick with classic features in neutral tones such as this Brodware 'Neu England' tapware and Natura 'Sisal' wall tiles from The Art of Tiles to create a bathroom with timeless appeal.

If you're lucky enough to have a walk-in robe that leads to an ensuite, keep things light and elegant with white-on-white to create the illusion of more space.

White subway Natura tiles from The Art of Tiles bring elegance and texture to the bathroom walls. The recessed shower and toilet are hidden from view from the entrance to the bathroom, while rolls of white Sheridan towels and Saison body products dress up the chic vanity.

Finished in floor-to-ceiling polished travertine, this luxurious ensuite includes a walk-in double shower plus his-and-hers sinks.

A walk-in shower clad in travertine tiles is a luxe addition to any bathroom, while a bamboo ladder (try Equator Homewares ) brings an organic touch. 'Cafe Light' honed and filled 610mm x 610mm travertine tiles from Aeria Country Floors.

To personalise her space, the owner made the vanity by customising a buffet she found in a local shop, while the black and white rug adds a modern touch. For a similar chevron rug, try Freedom.

A skylight will brighten up the smallest ensuite, while an integrated benchtop with no joins makes for easy cleaning. This vanity is topped with twin basins from Villeroy & Boch's Variable range, with stone-like Dagon porcelain tiles in Vision from Rocks On.

Even if you don't have leafy views, you can evoke a natural look and feel by mixing marble tiles on the recess floor, like these from Ceramica Senio.
