One of the many joys of a holiday is checking into your hotel room and taking in a bathroom that doesnt contain all the clutter that we tend to accumulate over time. All those shampoos, conditioners, toothpastes and myriad other brightly coloured and mismatched cosmetics and toiletries are enough to make any bathroom feel messy and disorganised. So, the question is: How do we recreate that boutique hotel holiday atmosphere in our own bathrooms? Well there a few quick and affordable solutions that will really make that holiday feeling come home with you.

Firstly, lets do away with that clutter around your basin. A fitted vanity unit beneath your basin will allow you to keep the basin area clear and tidy, helping to promote a feeling of calm throughout you bathroom. The fitted unit will also conceal the plumbing connected to the basin, to create a more streamlined overall look. Combining the vanity unit with a mirrored wall-mounted cabinet above your basin will allow you extra storage space, while the cabinets internal shelve will help to categorise and organise toiletries to make finding everything you need that little bit easier.

To really create that boutique look, an illuminated mirror is another great option. Instantly creating a luxurious old-fashioned dressing room ambience, illuminated mirrors usually use LED bulbs, which are also far more efficient and long-lasting that traditional bulbs.

If you do choose to install a fitted unit, consider also installing a counter top basin. An undrilled basin immediately feels like a more glamorous alternative to normal fitted basins, and now that you have cleared the surrounding area of your bathroom paraphernalia, it can be a focal design feature for your bathroom.

Due to the fact that they are easy to clean and maintain, many hotels opt to fit their bathrooms with large tiled areas. Tile design is currently a really exciting area of bathroom fixtures, and natural stone coloured tiles will give your bathroom a solid, rich ambience, especially if used in conjunction with underfloor heating, which is coming down in price all the time.
Aside from a freestanding traditional bath, the wetroom is often the most lavish and enjoyable bathing experience when staying in a hotel. It may feel impossible to achieve back in your own home, but it can be realised without huge disruption or outlay. A large, low angled shower tray removes any worry about having to retiling your bathroom with a slightly angled floor, and a transparent glass shower screen will protect the rest of your bathrooms from splashes and moisture.

That hotel bathroom, a place without any clutter, a place designed purely for pleasurable purposes, really can be brought into your home, and for less than the cost of the holiday that inspired you!
