White bathrooms are one of my favourites, crisp, sleek and clean… When designed with different textures that are complementing each other then they are anything but boring! The perfect canvas to accessorise to your heart’s desire and put your mark on, but how do you make them pop. The easiest way to make a white bathroom pop is to simply add just a splash of colour, simple!
Currently, I am trying to design a final look for our downstairs wet room. At this moment the bathroom tiles are in shades of brown but they will get pained pure white… The tiles themselves are in perfect condition, their size suits the room well and they are laid perfectly, so it would be a shame to replace them… they will simply get painted over.
In addition to tiles, my bathroom consist of a lowered ceiling with LED lighting (they will stay as they are), large frameless mirror (again it will stay), a loo and finally the sink that is set into a base cabinet (this two really do need replacing)… that’s it… It’s a wet room so it is pretty basic. I don’t really want to put any additional furniture into it. The only move I have in trying to make my bathroom pop is a base cabinet as this will be the feature point in the wet room.
I picked some units which I like. They all “speak” to me and I can honestly see myself just randomly picking one and being happy with my choice but they are all different and each unit will define the final feel of my room…
This is my favourite piece and my first choice - True Oak Substructure Ossature. I am not sure why but there is something about it which feels just right. Maybe it’s the fact that it is oak and it will match a lot of other furniture’s we have in the house or maybe because it looks so warm and cosy. I truly don’t know why I love it so much.
It looks like the True Oak collection is no longer for sale at Villeroy and Boch main website but I’ve found this beautiful piece still for sale at a greatly reduced price at Super Bath store.
I am sure with a piece like this I could easily leave the rest of the wet room white and it will still look stunning.
Subway 2.0 Base Cabinet. Totally different design but extremely pleasing to my eye. This will make any bathroom much more stylish and modern looking. I really like its clean lines and defined colour. Again, having a piece like this would allow me to leave everything else white.
My third choice - Aveo New Generation Base Cabinet - is yet again different to my two previous ones. It’s totally white, which will give me white on white design. I find it a bit of a crossover between the other two. It’s modern, but not as modern as the Subway… at the same time, its curved lines and rounded sink make it feel cosy, friendly and much more accessible, bringing it closer to the True Oak design. If we go for this one, I will try to add a colour accent in the form of some colourful soap dispenser or maybe a flower pot or two placed on the window sill.
I really feel quite confused. All three look totally fantastic in my opinion but I can only pick one.
I would love to know what you think.
Which one is your favourite?

I’m a huge fan of all white bathrooms and using awesome gadgets and decor to really make them stand out!
This post came just in time as I am whiting my bathroom on Sunday starting with paint then freshening up the tiles so this has given me food for thought thank you
Some of the houses we are looking at have white bathrooms, so this is really helpful!
im currently looking to get moved into a bigger home so i cant wit to re decorate x
If I was picking it would be number two - I like a contemporary finish, and I’m a BIG fan of slate grey. x
Those wood units are lovely - I think they would go great in our new bathroom.
I’m a huge fan of bright white bathrooms too. I utterly adore the second unit. It looks so modern and the sink is stunning.
I recently saw a white house from a blogger on youtube and it made me think perhaps I want to go that route. It’s so clean and crisp and makes everything looks larger. So I appreciate you wanting to stick with white. In regards to the sink choices, I think I would stick with an all white theme.
I really want to rip my bathroom out and design my own! I love your ideas and think they would be great in any sort of bathroom!
These are some great suggestions to enhance a bathrooms appearance. I really like all your suggestions and I’m not sure which would be my favourite, clearly you have great taste 😉
I would love to have an all white bathroom, but not sure how long it would stay clean with my 3 kids.
Loving this fresh white bathroom look…so chic and my style :)x
I’d add lots of colour to a white bathroom to add some personality to it. However, sometimes white rooms are nice just white!
I really like the True Oak Substructure Ossature too, very different to anything we currently have but would absolutely grab one if we had the space and money!
I like the white one, because you can always add colour in other areas.
When I renovated my bathroom I went for the second type of sink. I loved the modern design and the look it gave my bathroom. I chose to go for brown shades for my bathroom, on the tiles 🙂
I am in the process of making our bathroom all white - it just makes everything just ten times nicer in my book! Great pop suggestions too!
I have to say the first oak infrastructure option is my favourite as well, but I do like the monochromatic options too. Perfect for a white bathroom x
I like the wooden base unit, I think that would look nicer than white, something to make it stand out x
I love the idea of adding in oak as it gives some contrast and texture. My bathroom is tiny and covered in tiles so we can’t do anything like this!
I am a sucker for anything oak and would like to have some oak furniture in my bathroom. Lovely ideas for sure
The white and grey combination is my favourite - I’m currently going for this design too!
The white with the grey is my favourite. We are doing our bathroom at the moment and this is our colour scheme!
These are some awesome ideas, it is amazing what you can do with a white room to really make it stand out from the crowd.
