The fresh look bathroom should always provoke a sense of space and light, with an open and bright quality, rather than a cozy and sensual one. Colour and line accentuate this feeling, so use sea coloured tiles to cover large areas, creating a platform of uninterrupted colour, alongside a generous use of transparent materials and glass.
