According to Houzz , bathrooms are the most popular spaces for renovation in Spanish homes

The study shows that a third of those polled had renovated their bathrooms.  

There are several reasons for these renovation projects. Top of the list is to improve both the functionality and design, followed by a desire to increase the value of the property. Do you fall into any of these groups?    

If the answer is yes and you’re planning to renovate your bathroom, then we’re here to give you all the inspiration you need to turn your bathroom into a haven of tranquillity in your home.  

1. Tips for renovating small bathrooms 

• Use neutral tones. For instance, grey tones are particularly soothing and also make spaces appear larger.    
• Add pops of white for an even brighter look.  
• Use materials that are reminiscent of nature, such as wood.  
• Arrange plants in the room for a touch of green.  
• Place all the elements facing forwards. Arranging items such as the wash basin, plants, storage units and the mirror like this will add a sense of spaciousness to your bathroom.   
•  Include a large mirror, which will also make the room look bigger.   

2. Character-building for bathrooms 

• Go for tiles with lots of character. Try using different tonesand textures as featured in the photograph.  
• Make the bathtub a focal point by standing it on a raised platform.  
• Choose simple white elements that will create a contrast andhighlight the wall tiles.  
• Match them with floor tiles in similar tones, such aswood-effect ones. The Timeless collection by Metropol is perfect, as it comeswith anti-slip technology.  
• Fill the space with plants. They will add a splash of colour toyour bathroom as well as a natural touch. Choose your favourites to personaliseyour bathroom, making it a truly unique haven.  

3. Make your bathroom bright  

• Everyone knows that white is the perfect colour for creating a bright, luminous bathroom.  
• Choose several different types of wall tiles in this colour, such as a plain design for the shower area and another with a bolder texture for the rest of the room, to create a sense of luminosity and space.
• Do the same with the floor tiles. Choose a textured mosaic option for the shower area which will make it stand out from the rest of the bathroom flooring.  Wood-effects look fabulous with white and will lend a natural touch to the bathroom.
• Go for light tone furniture and floor tiles to create contrasts but without losing any brightness.  
• Always include a large mirror, as this will make any bathroom look much larger.  
• Choose a shower with a transparent enclosure in order not to create any visual obstacles.  

4. Make your bathroom a haven of tranquillity

If your idea is to simplify your bathroom and transform it into your own personal haven of tranquillity, then make sure you follow these useful tips:  

• Make the bath tub the focal point of the room and a truly unique space. This can be achieved by using different wall and floor tiles from the rest of the bathroom.  
• Choosing bright tones will make the space look much lighter. What’s more, by placing the bath tub next to the window, you will create a bright but comfortingly cosy spot.  
• Opting for a darker tone tile from the same collection will create a contrast that highlights the bathtub.  
• Add plants, an easy chair or some other object that will soothe and calm you. Create a space that you will be reluctant to leave.  
•  Now everything is ready for stepping into the bathtub for the most relaxing soak of your life.  

5. Bathrooms with a Mediterranean air
