How to create your very own romantic bathroom retreat

accreditation
Be inspired by the month of love and bring a touch of romance to your bath time by creating that gentle, soft and wistful look for dreamy days in the bath, all year round:

A bath tub should ideally be free-standing and preferably in the centre of the room, like those Lux ads we all know so well. If you have the space and well the money then why not? Choose a slipper-bath with the one end slightly higher than the other and claw-feet for that Victorian-era experience.

You could even install an oval bath with steps leading up to it for displaying beautiful storm lanterns or candles.

When choosing a shower try to aim for clear glass doors that let the natural light in and give yourself those shampoo ads that scream “I basically shower outside!”

Create a great shower experience with an extra-large shower rose that mimics raindrops or a multi-spray shower which can make one feel pampered and relaxed, creating a wonderfully romantic frame of mind.

Colour is basically everything, opt for tiles in soft whites and creams or pastel, dusty pinks are ideal when creating an intimate space for rejuvenation.

The final touch? Good lighting that's easy to control and adjustable for different moods which can be created using candles, scents and bubbles. 

Tile Africa offers a wide range of free-standing baths. For more information on Tile products, visit www.tileafrica.co.za
