Take your cue from our favourite spaces on Instagram. Interiors editor Nicole Gray shows you how to create a covetable look – without breaking the bank. Ace a small space Who lives here? Celebrity make-up artist Lo Moorcroft Location Croydon, London Property 1930s semi-detached In this pastel-hued bathroom designed by interiors blogger and stylist Sarah Akwisombe, colour and pattern have been used to give depth to a compact space. Arranging the skinny wall tiles vertically helps give the room a feeling of height, while the patterned floor tiles have an elongating effect. The gloss wall tiles, metallic finishes on the lights and cabinet legs and a well-placed wall mirror all help to bounce light around the space and add to the overall modern Art Deco vibe. A compact space needs all the height it can get to help draw the eye upwards. Here the top part of the wall is painted in Bare Necessity by valsparpaint.co.uk to reflect light around the room. Even the tiniest spaces have room for personality: the floor tiles and dark furniture create an instant focal point. The vanity unit is from ikea.com with fronts from nakeddoors.com. The quartz work surface is from caesarstone.co.uk Get the look Monochrome tile, £9.78 each, firedearth.com Mirror, £89, swooneditions.com Cabinet, £214.99, wayfair.co.uk Tile, 90p each, tilegiant.co.uk Sink, £1,021, victoriaplum.com Plant and planter, £30, canopyplants.co.uk Box, £26, amara.com Wall lamp, £55, made.com Up the glam factor Who lives here? Interiors blogger Jess Hurrell, aka @gold_is_a_neutral, her husband and their two children Location Honor Oak Park, Southeast London Property A four-bedroom Victorian townhouse Kasia Fiszer Taking inspiration from a kitchen containing a brass cabinet and marble splashback, Jess replicated the design to create a strikingly elegant bathroom. The dramatic black walls create a cosy cocooning effect and are the perfect anchor for the room’s mixture of eyecatching features: luxe marble shower tiles, brass cabinet fronts and a star-studded tiled floor. Kasia Fiszer Don’t be afraid to paint your walls black – yes, they are dramatic, but they also provide the perfect backdrop for other bathroom elements to shine. The shade used is Off Black by farrow-ball.com. The brass cabinet doors by customfronts.co.uk will naturally tarnish over time and add a ‘lived-in’ feel. The Pembroke basin is from vandabaths.com. For a similar mirror try heals.com. The monochromatic palette creates cohesion throughout, while the brass fittings add warmth. The marble shower tiles are from toppstiles.co.uk. The freestanding bath is from vandabaths.com. Encaustic tiles – where the pattern is produced by coloured clay instead of a glaze – don’t feel cold underfoot or require constant cleaning. These are by bertandmay.com. Their pattern is reflected by the brass doors and bathtub, giving the room extra depth.
