I don't know about you guys but I've definitely noticed a shift to more and more people using really interesting pieces and decor in their bathrooms - a room often forgotten about - and I'm loving it!
Why I Think Bathrooms Deserve More Love
When I was designing my own bathroom, I realised just how sensible most bathrooms are with plain tiles, white towels, chrome fittings. Functional? Yes. Fun? I wouldn't say so.
I wanted something that felt more like me; playful, colourful and full of character. That’s what led me to design a towel range that feels just as fabulous as the rest of the house. Because honestly, why should the smallest room get the least attention?
7 Quirky Bathroom Ideas I Swear By
1. Let Your Towels Do the Talking
I love folding a few colourful towels onto an open shelf or ladder rack. They instantly brighten up the space and act like little works of art.
2. Add a Fun Wallpaper
I’m obsessed with maximalist wallpaper at the moment especially anything tropical, animal-themed or vintage-inspired. Even just one feature wall can totally transform a small space.
3. Frame the Unexpected
Tiny bathroom? Hang up some art. I’ve framed old perfume ads and vintage postcards for mine.
4. Mismatch Your Tiles (On Purpose)
Try a checkerboard floor with a tiled splashback in a totally different style - the clash makes it work.
5. Add an Unusual Object
Right now, I’ve got a shell soap dish (which is actually my salt and pepper shakers holder shh)!
6. Ditch the White Towels
Life’s too short for boring towels. Go for colour, print, even a cheeky monogram.
7. Smell Matters
A bathroom candle or diffuser in a bold scent (I love fig or amber) completes the vibe. Scent is so underrated!
Introducing: My Brand-New Towel Collection
I’ve always loved designing things that make people smile and this towel collection is no exception. I'm a sucker for lush pastels and bold stripes, and felt it was important to include some of my favourite animal illustrations (yes, the leopard makes an appearance!). They're made from gorgeously soft cotton, and they’re as good for post-bath snuggles as they are for looking fab on your towel rail.

How I Style My Towels
When I have time to, I like to roll them spa-style on open shelves or fold them into neat stacks. If I’m feeling extra, I’ll pair a bold print with a more neutral one for contrast. Don’t be afraid to mix animals with stripes - trust me, it works.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been feeling like your bathroom’s a bit meh, you don’t need to rip everything out. Sometimes all it takes is a few unexpected touches (and a really great towel) to give it a totally new energy.
This new towel collection is my first and definitely not my last. It’s soft, bold, and makes me smile every time I walk in the room and I hope it’ll do the same for you.
Thanks for reading and if you end up giving your bathroom a quirky little makeover, tag me. I love seeing how you style it all.
