How to Choose a Bathroom Cabinet for Above the Sink

The cabinet above the basin is one of the hardest working pieces in any bathroom, framing the mirror or replacing it and holding the items you reach for every morning. Choosing the right one is a quiet decision with significant consequences for daily life. In this guide we walk through the questions worth asking before you commit, from measuring the available wall and matching the cabinet to your basin width, to weighing up mirrored versus solid fronts, integrated lighting, interior layout and the finishes that hold up best in a steamy room. We also cover installation considerations such as wall type, fixing strength and door swing in narrow spaces. Whether you are buying for a small en suite, a family bathroom or a guest cloakroom, the same principles apply.

How to Choose Bathroom Storage That Works Around a Bath

The space around a bath is often awkwardly shaped, with short stretches of wall, tight corners and pipework that limits choices. Most bathrooms treat this as dead space, but it is some of the most useful storage real estate in the room. In this guide we look at how to choose bathroom storage that works around a bath, from tall slim cabinets at the tap end to wall mounted shelves above the bath, low cabinets at the foot, recessed niches and coordinated furniture ranges from Furniture in Fashion. We share how to measure the available gaps before buying anything, what proportions tend to work in UK bathrooms, and how to keep the finishes consistent with your wider scheme. We also cover when timber furniture is safe to use near a bath, how baskets help organise the contents, and the small safety details to consider when storage incorporates lighting or sits close to splash zones....

5 Bathroom Accessory Ideas That Pull the Look Together

The bathroom is one of the smallest rooms in most UK homes, yet it does a lot of design work. Once the main fittings are in, the smaller pieces decide whether the space feels considered or thrown together. Soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, towel rails, bins and toilet seats are easy to overlook, but they sit on display all day. In this guide we share five bathroom accessory ideas that pull the look together, from coordinated basin top sets to weighted bins, considered toilet seats, well placed mirrors and a tight palette of textiles. The focus is on reducing visual noise rather than adding more pieces. We look at how to match finishes with your taps, how many objects to leave on view, and where plants and candles fit into the wider scheme. The result is a calm, finished bathroom that reads as a whole, with practical advice from Furniture in Fashion that suits real UK homes....

How to Style a Bathroom in a Victorian Property With Period Features

Victorian houses carry their own quiet drama. High skirting boards, sash windows, original cornicing and tiled floors all set a tone, and the bathroom is often where those features survive most intact. Styling around them needs a different mindset from starting with a blank space, since the period bones should lead and the furniture should follow. In this guide we look at how to style a bathroom in a Victorian property with period features, covering proportions, paint colours, mirrors, timber finishes and the careful blending of old and new. We share why traditional silhouettes feel at home next to original fittings, when a flash of contemporary detail helps, and how to keep the room feeling lived in rather than themed. We also walk through floor choices, lighting and the smaller touches that finish a period bathroom, drawing on coordinated ranges from Furniture in Fashion for homes that prize character above novelty....

7 Modern Bathroom Ideas for New Build Homes

New build bathrooms tend to start out looking very similar. White walls, basic chrome taps, the same builder fitted vanity and the same large format floor tile repeated across hundreds of plots. None of it is bad, but it rarely feels personal. In this guide we share seven modern bathroom ideas for new build homes, focused on changes that lift the room from generic to characterful without affecting plumbing or compromising your developer warranty. We cover replacing the standard vanity, rethinking lighting layers, introducing warmer materials, adding tall storage and updating the mirror. We also look at how considered accessories and zoned finishes can give an ensuite the feel of a far more expensive scheme. The approach is calm and editorial rather than dramatic, with a quiet preference for matte finishes, brushed metals and timber accents. Most of the ideas can be applied gradually, one weekend at a time, with pieces from Furniture in Fashion....

Small tiles, whether mosaic, penny round or fish scale shapes, have become a defining feature of many UK bathrooms. They bring texture and craft to a room that can otherwise feel quite functional, but choosing furniture to sit against them takes a steady hand. The right pieces should act as quiet punctuation rather than compete for attention. In this guide we look at how to choose bathroom furniture that works with small tiles, covering silhouette, finish, scale and placement. We share why wall hung pieces help, how to use timber and stone effect surfaces to introduce contrast, and the role mirrors play in calming a busy wall. We also walk through how to pull a small tiled bathroom together with a restrained accessory edit, drawing on coordinated ranges available at Furniture in Fashion. Whether you are renovating fully or replacing a single vanity, the principles here translate to almost any layout in the home....
