Festive family bathrooms

As one of the most regularly used rooms in the house, the family bathroom also sees an influx of festive visitors over the Christmas season, so most of us like to make sure it’s looking its best at this time of year. While the perfect festive family bathroom might look a little different for everyone, we’ve put together some ideas about how you can spruce yours up and make it into a more seasonal space.

Whether you want to treat your family to some luxury bathroom items or would simply like to add a few more subtle touches to create a more welcoming ambience, read on to find out what we suggest …

Brighten up your bath caddy

Our Viktor Benson Bamboo Bath Caddy and Bath Board is perfect for dressing up at Christmas.

One quick and easy way to add some festive cheer to your bathroom is by decorating a bath caddy – either an existing one or, if you don’t have one, adding it as a new item within the room. Practical at any time of year, you can festoon your bath caddy with all things comforting and relaxing to create the best bath time over Christmas – and to make an impression on guests …

Our Viktor Benson Bamboo Bath Caddy and Bath Board is ideal for dressing up at this time of year. With dedicated sections for holding everything from wine glasses, mugs of festive hot chocolate, iPads, books and candles, you can add all your favourite things to enjoy an indulgent bath time. You could also decorate it with sprigs of holly or Christmas garlands if you want to make it into a less functional and more decorative statement within your bathroom.

Anti-slip and suitable for all baths – thanks to an extendable feature – the Viktor Benson Bath Caddy also has that natural look with the bamboo wood finish, so it will complement a range of décor.

Add some cosiness to bath time by gathering all your favourite festive treats on your bath caddy.

Add some greenery to your bathroom

Using garlands and wreaths to decorate your bathroom can instantly transform it into a natural-looking festive haven, with the rich green foliage and red berries great for contrasting with white or more neutral décor. They can also add further depth to more colourful spaces.

If you like the nature-inspired look and want to make a more permanent change to your bathroom, then creating a feature wall or splash-back with tiles that will look great both now and throughout the year is another option.

Our Aqua Flat Verde Bottle-green Metro Tile has a rich green tone which remains on-trend and evokes those natural vibes while also tying in with the festive season, if you want your bathroom to embrace a traditional Christmas colour palette. With that popular metro/subway design and high-gloss finish, these tiles are ideal for bathrooms and will add instant character and depth to your interior.

The Aquae Flat Verde Bottle-green Metro Tile has a rich green tone which is perfect for the festive season and beyond.

They can also be laid horizontally, vertically, brick-style or in a chevron pattern, so you can experiment with how you want them to look. Another key benefit is that they’re very easy to clean, while they’re also made from high-quality ceramic so will last you long into the future.

Make Christmas sparkle with mirrors

The Eliseo Ricci Stream Bluetooth & LED Mirror will add instant festive sparkle to your bathroom.

Another great way to make your bathroom a more welcoming space this festive season – and without having to splash out too much – is by upgrading your mirror for added ambience.

The Eliseo Ricci Stream Bluetooth & LED Mirror is one of our top picks for Bathshack’s festive gift guide this year, as it combines Smart technology with a smooth, sleek look and fantastic lighting – all for a great-value price. You can subsequently listen to your favourite festive tunes while you wash and then get ready courtesy of the handy touch-sensor LED lighting, which is both eco-friendly and long-lasting. The mirror also has an in-built demister feature which warms the glass, so you won’t have to worry about it steaming up and can enjoy a perfect, pristine mirror at all times. Great for impressing guests – and just handy to have in your home.

Winter warmth with heated towel rails

An easy way to bring some festive cheer into your bathroom is to make it even cosier by adding a towel rail. Designed to keep towels dry and toasty, they also heat the immediate surrounding space, so if you have a small bathroom, then they can help to heat it. You can therefore enjoy a warm towel after your shower or bath and keep damp and chilliness at bay this Christmas.

Our designer towel rails also look very stylish, so they bring a sense of elegance with them as well as being functional.

The Lazzarini Silea Straight Heated Towel Rail in Brushed Brass has a warming gold tone which is perfect for the festive season, while also adding elegance throughout the year. A versatile tone, brushed brass adds depth to interiors and complements a wide array of other colour palettes. The Lazzarini Silea Towel Rail has a high heat output and can be plumbed as dual-fuel or electric-only, so you can choose whatever format suits your home best.

Adding a heated towel rail to your bathroom will make it cosier this Christmas.

These are just a few ways in which you can introduce some festive cheer to your bathroom which you can also enjoy well after Christmas has passed. If you have shelf space, then you can also adorn your bathroom with temporary decorations and add accessories like festive-themed bathmats and towels. Lighting scented candles is another way to add atmosphere and make your bathroom a warm and welcoming place to be this winter.

Adding luxury items such as freestanding baths is another way to add opulence and indulge yourself this Christmas, if you want to really treat yourself.
