I Agree with Venetian Plastering combines it with egyptian painting or hieroglyph as centerpiece on wall for bigger room having stone texture on wall or floor makes client more immersed to the theme, use many ambience LED lights, faux palm in the corridor, few small statues, art niche with small light it will be great if the place is high ceilling with fake realistic pillars for ceilings depends on the spa function night starry sky with fibre optic is calming the color palette is gold black use deep turquoise, lapis lazuli blue, and rich burgundy, for textiles, cushions, and smaller decor items. Make the client seat as focal point either as sacrifice altar or throne for a king theme

How exciting! Its funny how deep they look when there is no water in them. When you fill it with water it will seem much shallower. First on some practical points the radiator is a slight concern. What you really need is a small air handling package that is linked to the water temperature and that will ensure the air in the pool house is always a couple of degrees warmer than the water in the pool and is circulating to avoid condensation. It would be good to identify who installed the pool (There might be labels on the pool plant) and to get them in to overhaul and recommission it. You could replace the sliding doors with really good quality (Schuco) sliding folding doors so that the whole lot could be opened back on a sunny day. You could get rid of the radiator and make those windows into full height doors as well. The brick walls are a bit sad - but would be a great surface for fixing slate, stone or tile, and for the floor you could look at a non-slip ceramic porcelain large format tiles. We use Solus Ceramics. http://solusceramics.com Lighting is always tricky - if you put lights in the ceiling over the pool it can be hard to change the bulbs. We have got round this in the past by using fibre optic projector lighting (One central lamp and the light is conducted along inert glass cables to the fittings) but it is quite an expensive option, or instead uplight the ceiling using floor or wall lights. In that case you have to think about what it is that you are uplighting - That acoustic tile ceiling belongs in an office - I would love to replace it with a timber ceiling which would be worth uplighting. http://www.universal-fibre-optics.com/pool-and-wet-area-lighting-projects What part of the country are you in?

I predict there will be a continued appetite for pale/ white interiors which will fuel innovative ways of delivering this with more finishes and layered whites for interest. I think kitchen cabinets will stay pale but be available in silk or two textured finishes as they move away from gloss and lacquered finishes. Available woods will become paler and more Nordic. I think we will see more textured wall finishes such as wall panels and I think lighting will become more sophisticated allowing us to select warm or cool white from our lighting sources depending on outside light levels and time of day. I think the new metal will be burnished brass and available in kitchen handles, light switches and accessories. I predict a warm summer and inevitably greater spend on outside living with French chic plates and glasswear and more solutions to keep us in the garden with increased choices of patio heaters and soft lighting to enjoy lazy summer evenings and cooler mornings. Let's check in a years time and see if anything came true? I hope so. switches and accessories.

Funny you should say that ED; a friend and I just decided to do our compilation show again at Edinburgh next year. We did it for the first time in 2017. It's called Laugh begins at Forty and has five or six different comedians over 40 performing every day. I'd better get the house finished!
