SOAK IT UP The Ripples copper boat bath is made for relaxing and unwinding
IN THE BATHROOM
hink a bathroom can’t be cosy? Think again! With the right lighting, colours and accessories, create a sanctuary
the mood of the space. “Adding layered lighting will allow you to enhance a relaxed environment while keeping the room functional,” suggests Lucymai. “Having feature mood lighting, such as warm, white lighting around the bath, will provide a natural, candle-like glow.” When it comes to the all-important bathtub, Lucymai suggests Ripples’ freestanding copper boat bath as the ultimate centrepiece. “Not only is this deep enough to submerge yourself in, but copper baths are also exceptional heat conductors – meaning you can spend even more time in the bath without becoming cold. We have one of these in our showroom, so you can even try it out for size!”
you’ll long to relax in with a bubble bath and glass of wine. “The key to a cosy bathroom is to ensure the heating is just right,” asserts Lucymai Looker, designer at luxury bathroom store Ripples. “Underfloor heating creates a cosy atmosphere – and adds luxury. Walking out of the shower onto a toasty floor will completely alter your shower experience. No more running to the bath mat to avoid cold feet!” Lighting is often overlooked in the bathroom, but it’s another crucial component as it can completely change
throws and fluffy rugs, plus investing in some quality bedding that will continue to look immaculate after lots of washes. “It’s important to have a thick, padded duvet for winter – we recommend a tog 13.5.” Finally, to really set the scene, Glasswells recommends adding finishing touches like candles and seasonal fragrances. “Try scents like spiced apple, cinnamon, warm vanilla and woody aromas. Our sense of smell is intricately linked with our memory, and popular wintry fragrances are a fantastic way to make our bedrooms welcoming.” SLEEP TIGHT With so much of our lives spent curled up in bed, a mattress is a big deal. Glasswells is here to help you craft a stunning bedroom (above), complete with comfy furnishings (left)
