Get into the fold
Hotel bathrooms are always neat and orderly. By folding or rolling your towels and stacking them neatly, your bathroom will feel more serene. Towels not quite pass muster? Why not treat yourself to a new set that you’ll enjoy snuggling in after bathing?

Keep it white and bright
There’s a reason why so many hotel bathrooms are white: it looks clean, serene and contemporary. If you choose all white, make sure you have plenty of cupboards or drawers in which to stash everything from cleaning products to lotions and potions, so you keep your fresh white scheme elegantly clutter-free.

Treat yourself to a claw-foot tub
Make taking a bath a real treat by investing in a freestanding roll-top tub. No other bath compares to the elegance of this classic – which is available in just about any colour – and if you consider cost per wash, it’s actually very reasonable!

With interiors, it’s easy to put all the emphasis on what you see. But sight is just one of our senses, and hotels tend to take all five into account – especially smell. Fill your bathroom with your favourite scents – think candles or scent sticks – and you’ll enjoy lingering longer.
