Latest bathroom look – Dark wood

Inject a bit of warmth and luxury into a contemporary scheme

Mix a smart modern suite with some sophisticated dark wood to create a sleek, stylish-looking bathroom.

• Team with white
You can buy solid wooden sanitaryware such as baths and basins, as well as shower trays. It can be expensive, but will look ultra-chic teamed with white.

• Don't go over the top
Depending on the size of the room, limit the amount of wood you use, as it can be overpowering.

• Watch out for water
Use woods that can stand up to a moist atmosphere – veneers are suitable for storage, but make sure that they're not in prolonged contact with water.

Where to buy
Select Unwind bathroom suite, from £950.29, B&Q.
