Bathroom Décor: Bring the Holiday Home
Who says holiday bliss has to end when the flight lands? With the right styling, your bathroom can feel like a luxurious spa, a chic Mediterranean resort, or a tranquil coastal escape, every single day. Here’s how to bring those holiday vibes home and turn your bathroom into a destination of its own.
Choose a Destination-Inspired Palette
Think about the last place you felt truly relaxed on holiday - maybe it was the warm tones of the Balearics, the crisp white of the Greek isles, or the lush greens of a Balinese retreat. Use this as your colour cue.
Mediterranean escape: White walls, pale blue tiles, and sun-washed terracotta accents.
Tropical getaway: Lush greens, sandy beiges, and wooden textures.
Luxury spa: Calm neutrals, warm greys, and clean white with hints of stone.
Your palette sets the tone, so keep it consistent for that serene, pulled-together look.

Add Holiday-Inspired Decor Touches
The key to curating a holiday-inspired sanctuary lies in the details. Thoughtfully selected accessories and materials can evoke the essence of your favourite destinations, all within the comfort of your own home.
Artisanal textures: Introduce refined natural elements such as handwoven rattan, seagrass, and richly grained wood to create a sophisticated, coastal ambiance.
Sculptural accents: Elevate everyday essentials with stone or ceramic vessels- ideal for housing soaps, brushes, or lush greenery, crafted in organic forms and tactile finishes.
Botanical touches: Embrace the spa-like serenity of nature with elegant indoor plants. Think sculptural ferns, peace lilies, or trailing greenery placed in minimalist planters to soften the space and enhance tranquillity.
Luxury linens: Swap traditional towels for oversized hammam cloths, textured waffle robes, and linen window dressings to introduce effortless elegance and comfort.
And if you’ve returned from your travels with a treasured handcrafted piece, let it shine, these personal touches lend authenticity, warmth, and a sense of story to your at-home retreat.

Scents That Take You Places
Scent is one of the most powerful triggers of memory and emotion. Choose bath oils, candles, or diffusers that evoke a favourite place:
Coconut and citrus for tropical beach vibes.
Lavender and eucalyptus for spa serenity.
Sea salt and sage for a coastal feel.
Display your bottles and candles like you would find in a boutique hotel - less is more, but placement is key.

So light the candle, run the bath, and cue the soft playlist. Your holiday starts… now.
