pale

Latest bathroom look – Pale wood

Create a natural feel by using pale wood to soften a modern suite

Light, bright and relaxed, this fresh look can be given a contemporary or traditional twist. Here's how –

• Go for paler woods
Choose pale woods such as ash, oak or beech. This look is all about wooden supports rather than surfaces, so you don't need a hardwood, like iroko, as it won't have to cope with splashes.

• Get the flooring right
Opt for a natural finish for flooring. Choose scrubbed, pale, varnished floorboards, or slate or limestone if you fancy tiles.

• Finishing touches
Add interesting detail by going for sanitaryware in organic shapes with curvaceous lines.

Where to buy
Logic washstand 1200, £395; Logic basins 400, £295 each; Broadway bath with beech supports, £1535; all Fired Earth.
