Maximalist Bathroom Makeover

It’s been two weeks since we finished our two week bathroom makeover and I’ve finally found the time to share the reveal! I can’t get over how much brighter the space feels after years of it being black and white! It’s certainly a more cheerful place to get ready in the mornings. 

This project has been a long time coming as we've been planning and ordering the materials gradually over the last year. Initially, I used procreate to trace the existing bathroom so I could add layers of colour and pattern to work out the design. I made a moodboard alongside this to keep on my phone for shopping for accessories to check they would match the scheme. We wanted the feel of an eclectic boutique hotel, for leisurely baths and relaxing skincare routines.

Once we knew what we were looking for we set up price alerts to get the best prices for the tiles which saved us a lot of money. The other big money saver was keeping what we could, and doing absolutely everything ourselves - David basically became a plumber and electrician with the help of YouTube (don't worry we've since had it checked over by qualified professionals!). We ripped out the old bathroom, kept the toilet and sink, then started to build it all back. The process took the two of us 10 long days but I'm so glad we did it that way! It's definitely our biggest project to date and the most satisfying because of it.

I'll pop a list of our purchases below, if I've missed anything your curious about just drop me a message.
