Our children\u2019s bathroom is where we usually have drinks as a family on a Friday night after school. A chair in a bathroom is a good idea wherever possible, and so are painted walls. There are lots of clever emulsions available these days that will work well in bathrooms. Also, avoid using too many tiles and gloss surfaces as these can often feel very hard and \u201cbathroomy\u201d. Incorporating items that you love can help bring life to a bathroom, such as books and art. Try to include more lighting zones so you can change the mood by just having your wall lights turned on instead of overhead lights. Don\u2019t be afraid to include textiles, for example, cushions and curtains as these will help elevate the room from purely functional to that of a main living space like a bedroom or living room.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-94779 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/A4766_72dpi-683x1024.jpg\"
