electing components for a new or renovated bathroom should be exciting — but may feel daunting. With the almost limitless options of tiles, tapware, colour, cabinetry and more, it can be hard to know where to start. However, a@ moodboard can help simplify the process. According to designer Lynda MacDonald (thedesignchaperone.com.au), making a moodboard is the first step to developing your design scheme. “It creates a visual representation of ideas and can help narrow down the overall look and feel you want.” For inspiration, browse through magazines and online, suggests Caroma industrial designer Luke Di Michiel. “When you find a bathroom that appeals, ask yourself, ‘What is it that | like? Is it the style, the colours, emotional connection?’ Understanding these responses can hone your preferences and understanding of complementary colours, textures and products,” he says. With a bathroom style in mind, the next step is to collect tiles, paint, tapware, handle and benchtop samples. To help inspire your own palette, here are three top styles, with expert design tips on how to pull each look together.

Interior designer Kelly Donougher (13interiors. com) likes to include one main tile and then a feature tile as a focal point, either across the floor or as a backdrop to the vanity. “Just ensure you keep scale and proportion in mind," she warns. “The feature tile should be an accent within the space, not something that dominates the room." Bold black tapware and accessories can look striking and add a modern edge without 42. bunnings.com.au | (O) bunnings | ®) bunnings “A physical moodboard with samples gives you the opportunity to see the finishes together, before investing in the products” Kelly Donougher, 13 Interiors detouring from the overall farmhouse vibe. “A great combination is matt black tapware in acontemporary profile, offset with traditional cup-style cabinetry handles,” suggests Kelly. While neutral tones paired with black and timber elements is a classic combination, introducing blue is a wonderful way to inject personality. "My favourite blue at the moment is Dulux Chicory Flower," says Lynda. “It adds character to your space, whether it's on vanity cabinetry or a painted feature wall.” TOP Pattern and colour add vibrancy toa traditional farmhouse look, complete with VJ panelling
