Transforming your bathroom into a spa-like oasis doesn’t have to break the bank! With the right mix of function, style, design and bathroom decor, your bathroom can become a relaxing retreat you look forward to spending time in. Whether it’s a guest bathroom that needs a refresh or styling the main bathroom from scratch, learn how to effortlessly elevate your bathroom and create a luxurious escape.
Our design experts and stylists have created this comprehensive guide to turn you into the ultimate interior designer when it comes to bathroom design. Let’s get started!
Nothing says luxury like soft, fluffy bath towels. Well worth the investment, premium bath towels can set the tone for your space and instantly elevate the entire look and feel of your bathroom. They can also easily be switched out or changed as your tastes evolve or you refresh the bathroom with the seasons.
With a wide range of hues, prints and patterns, bath towels are an easy way to introduce new themes into your bathroom design. For a neutral bathroom, incorporating a pop of colour through bath towels is an easy way to transform your space by creating new visual interest and layering another design element in the space. Meanwhile, a colourful bathroom with wallpaper or coloured tiles can be balanced out with neutral bath towels to create a cohesive colour story in the space.
The texture of bath towels adds another tactile element to your bathroom design that provides softness and warmth to the space. This mix of materials provides more depth and dimension to give your bathroom a luxurious feel, whilst enhancing your everyday comfort when used functionally. For an added layer of luxury, invest in a bath sheet. Slightly larger than a typical bath towel, bath sheets are the epitome of sleek and sophisticated.
With a range of bath towels, bath sheets and hand towels to choose from, find the perfect set that suit your needs and personal style. At Pillow Talk, our selection of bath towels offers endless options from cotton bath towels, turkish cotton bath towels, bamboo bath towels and more!
After selecting bath towels to suit your space, it’s time to style them! Whether you prefer to fold, roll or hang your bath towels, each option adds a different feel to the space. For a hotel-inspired look, try neatly folding your bath towels on open shelving to create a clean, minimal and neat style.
After something spa-like? Try rolling your bath towels and placing them on open shelving or into baskets for an organised yet organic look. For those looking to add more dimension, hanging bath towels on a decorative towel rack or stylish towel hook can create a relaxed yet refined lived-in look.
Outside of bath towels, bath mats play a key part in any bathroom design as they are one of the most visible elements in the space. Whether they are hung over the shower or placed by the bath, bathmats serve as a stylish accent piece to the room whilst also preventing slips and adding comfort underfoot.
To tie into the colour story in your bathroom, consider using complementary colours to your bath towels, tiles, finishes and fixtures. Interior design is all about balance, so take reference from featured tones or use a colour wheel to find a colour that can support the existing themes within your space. After all, bathrooms should be a relaxing and tranquil space, so be sure to use calming and relaxing hues, rather than bold and bright tones that contrast the rest of the room!
A common theme for bathrooms is sage green, gold, browns and beiges. These soft colours can be used to add warmth and creating a welcoming atmosphere to a bathroom. Other popular colourways include navy, white and beige or pink, yellow and orange which are colours that also offer a similar cosy feeling. Find a bathroom colour theme that works for your bathroom and can tie into the rest of your home to create a more considered and curated design.
At Pillow Talk, our range boasts a variety of bath mats and bath runners you can use to decorate your bathroom in style. From muted tones to dimensional patterns with texture, find the best bath mats and bath runners to suit your space.
The next step in decorating a bathroom is to add bathroom accessories that are both functional yet enhance the style of your bathroom design. A simple way to do this is using bathroom accessory sets, such as a matching toilet roll holder, toilet brush holder and bathroom bin. A must-have in any bathroom, a stylish bathroom accessory set can not only serve its primary purpose but add another level of dimension to the room design.
Consider complementing your bathroom design and accessories set with a soap dispenser and bathroom tray that looks picture perfect on your countertop. Choose another matching set or mix and match to create a look unique to your home that plays off the countertop stone or mirror framing to create a cohesive feel.
Bathroom baskets and storage bins are another way to add more space to your bathroom whilst elevating the overall look. From storing towels to toiletries, toilet rolls or books, these storage styling elements can make your bathroom design feel more thoughtful and considered.

Now your bathroom should be starting to take shape, it’s time to add the finishing touches to tie the space together. From bath trays to candles, fragrance, and vases, let’s touch on the top pieces that can help transform your bathroom.
If you are lucky enough to have a bath in your bathroom, consider using this focal point as a centrepiece to your space. Use a bath caddy to incorporate another material into the bathroom that complements the towels, mats and accessories. From a marble bath caddy to charming wooden bath caddy, find a caddy that suits your style and space.
Elevate the overall ambience of the bathroom with fragrance. Whether you prefer a candle for soft lighting or a reed diffuser to invigorate the senses, fragrance can transform your space from a simple bathroom into a spa-like retreat.
After the full spa experience? For another layer of luxury, add bath scrub brushes and premium body lotions to your bathroom to complete the bathroom decor design. These are perfect for incorporating into a guest bathroom to impress, or for a self-care station in your main bathroom.
With these simple styling tips, you can decorate your bathroom like an interior designer to create a balanced, cohesive and elevated space. Whether it’s the texture of plush bath towels, the practicality of bathroom accessories or the warm glow of a candle, each element can bring comfort and personality to your bathroom. By blending form and function, you can create the ultimate bathroom oasis that enhances your everyday.
