A bathroom, to many people, is the only place in their home where they can lock the door and be completely alone. Most people want their bathrooms to help them loosen up from a stressed day at work but also have their own touch of personality and home comforts so choosing right is essential. So, can't decide on wood, tiles or wallpaper for your bathroom? Below gives you seven different approaches to starting with the basics or restoring what you already have.

Wood

Wood enables you to explore the very distinct effects the material has to offer. An uneven surface transforms the room to be a natural, adventurous, cabin-like area where as a smoothed and polished wood can be quite the opposite; formal and spotlessly hygienic.

Stone

Paint

Paint can transform a bathroom. A fresh coat of what’s already there will turn a wall spotless and create a vibe of new, unsullied energy. A single wall can introduce a new colour that will move away from the usual, natural colours of bathrooms. [caption id="attachment_801" align="alignnone" width="1220"] Source: Homened[/caption]
