It wasn't so long ago that if you wanted a vanity

It wasn't so long ago that if you wanted a vanity that was out of the ordinary, you needed to arrange for something that was custom made. This is still the case if you have an awkward opening or you need something built in wall to wall, but the choice now is so good that you can order an ‘off the shelf' vanity solution to suit most styles. In fact choosing a bathroom vanity can be overwhelming as the options now are so wide. ⁣
⁣
I therefore thought it was time to review the market and show you how to choose a bathroom vanity that is right for the look that you are trying to achieve.⁣

The tour on my blog of Lavana, designed by Melissa

The tour on my blog of Lavana, designed by Melissa Bonney at The Designory, includes a gorgeous bathroom using beautiful natural stone on the floor and a feature wall. I love the earthiness of this stone - I haven't come across this before in a bathroom setting and I think it works really well. What do you think?⁣

I love matt finishes - this bathroom is gorgeous and sums up this look perfectly. Wouldn't place the light where it is, but I think this is just styling for the photo 😆. Don't say no to a touch of Eucalyptus in my home too.⁣

I must confess that the sentence mustard and green

I must confess that the sentence mustard and green colour palette doesn't fill me with excitement. However, that is until I see the imagery. I think it's a problem with the word mustard which conjures up a dirty, yellow brown. In fact the colour is a rich warm yellow that is much easier to work with in interiors than a pure saturated yellow, which although uplifting, is just too bright. ⁣
⁣
By adding some earthy richness to what is the happiest colour in the spectrum, you actually end up with a really beautiful interior colour.⁣
⁣
Partnered with natural green, this gives you a very organic and earthy decorating palette which is perfect for interiors. ⁣
⁣
I have all the background and inspiration in my latest blog post.⁣
