Gold Furniture – The Return of Luxury in the Bathroom

/in /by

There’s something timeless about gold. For centuries, gold has symbolised luxury, warmth, and sophistication — and in modern bathroom design, it’s making a powerful comeback. Gold bathroom furniture and fittings are no longer about ostentation; they’re about understated elegance and a confident design statement.

At Olney Bathrooms, we’ve seen a steady rise in homeowners embracing brushed gold taps, handles, mirrors, and accent furniture. These pieces add depth and warmth to both contemporary and traditional spaces, complementing everything from minimalist marble to classic panelling. The beauty of gold is that it adapts — it can be bold and glamorous, or subtle and calming, depending on how you use it.

Modern gold finishes tend to be brushed or matte, avoiding the overly shiny brass look of decades past. These finishes pair beautifully with soft whites, deep navy tones, or dark greys. A freestanding vanity with gold handles, paired with matching fixtures, instantly elevates a bathroom into something special.

Another advantage of gold is its versatility across styles. In a period home, it can echo heritage charm. In a sleek new build, it becomes a modern focal point. And because quality gold furniture and fittings are designed to last, they continue to look stunning for years to come.

At Olney Bathrooms, we offer a curated selection of gold-accented furniture and accessories, helping you strike the perfect balance between luxury and practicality. Whether you’re looking for subtle touches or a bold feature piece, our design experts can help you create a space that feels indulgent every day.

Add a touch of timeless gold to your bathroom — because luxury never goes out of style.

From Bath to Shower Room – Making Life Easier with Style

/in /by

As our lifestyles change, so too should our homes. One of the most common upgrades we see at Olney Bathrooms is the conversion of a traditional bath into a stylish and practical shower room, especially for people who face mobility challenges or simply prefer convenience.

This isn’t just about functionality — it’s about independence, safety, and comfort. For many, climbing in and out of a bath can become difficult, and a well-designed shower room provides a safer, easier alternative without compromising on design.

Modern mobility-friendly bathrooms are far from clinical. Gone are the days of white plastic grab rails and sterile layouts. Today, thoughtful design combines style and accessibility: walk-in showers with level-access trays, sleek glass screens, anti-slip tiles, and cleverly integrated seating.

At Olney Bathrooms, we specialise in creating accessible spaces that feel luxurious. Whether it’s adding subtle support rails that match your chosen finish, installing thermostatic controls for consistent water temperature, or choosing easy-clean surfaces, every detail is considered.

We also work closely with homeowners to ensure the new layout works with their needs — wider doorways, comfortable heights for fittings, and lighting that improves visibility.

Replacing your bath with a shower doesn’t have to mean losing comfort; in fact, many find it enhances daily life. And with the right planning and craftsmanship, you can achieve a space that’s safe, elegant, and built for the future.

Olney Bathrooms: helping you enjoy your bathroom with confidence, comfort, and beauty.

Maximising Space: Smart Bathroom Design Ideas for Small and Compact Homes

/in /by

Not every home has room for a large bathroom, but with the right design, even the smallest spaces can feel stylish and spacious.

Clever Layouts

The layout is everything in a compact bathroom. Opt for wall-hung toilets, floating vanities, and walk-in showers to free up valuable floor space and create a more open look.

Light and Colour

Soft, neutral tones combined with good lighting make small bathrooms feel bigger. Large mirrors can also reflect light and add depth, creating a brighter, airier feel.

Smart Storage

Hidden storage is essential. Built-in shelving, mirrored cabinets, and under-sink drawers keep clutter out of sight while maintaining easy access to essentials.

Quality Over Quantity

In smaller spaces, every detail counts. Investing in premium fixtures and finishes gives your bathroom a sense of luxury and durability that stands the test of time.

At Olney Bathrooms, we specialise in turning small and awkward spaces into functional, elegant rooms that make the most of every inch.

Wood Panelling in Bathrooms: The On-Trend Look That’s Here to Stay

/in /by

Wood panelling is having a major moment, and it’s not just for hallways and living rooms anymore. Bathrooms are embracing this on-trend feature, and the results are stunning. If you’re looking to elevate your space, wood panelling adds instant texture, warmth, and a sense of character that tiles alone just can’t match.

Whether you’re aiming for a classic, vintage look or a sleek, modern style, there’s a wood panelling design that fits the bill. Vertical slats can elongate walls, while painted shaker-style panels offer timeless appeal. Natural wood tones bring in organic texture, while bold colour choices, like deep navy or soft sage, add a contemporary twist.

Best of all, today’s materials are moisture-resistant and designed for bathroom environments, meaning you don’t have to sacrifice practicality for style. It also pairs beautifully with modern fixture, think matte black taps, stone basins, or freestanding tubs.

Wood panelling is more than just a trend, it’s a way to add luxury, comfort, and personality to a space that’s often overlooked. If you’re ready to refresh your bathroom, this could be the design feature that makes all the difference.

Hot Weather? Showers Are the Perfect Seasonal Solution

/in /by

When the heat ramps up, like it has this last week, there’s nothing better than stepping into a refreshing shower. In warmer weather, showers aren’t just a convenience, they’re a cooling, energising part of your daily routine. And from a design standpoint, they’re the ultimate warm-weather bathroom feature.

Walk-in showers, minimalist enclosures, and rainfall heads are hugely on-trend right now, and for good reason. They offer sleek style, easy access, and a sense of openness that makes any bathroom feel bigger and cooler. Add in natural tones, soft lighting, and maybe a touch of greenery, and your shower becomes a spa-like escape from the summer heat.

From a practical standpoint, showers are a more water-efficient and time-saving option compared to baths, perfect for busy mornings or for cooling off after a warm day. If you’re considering an upgrade, Olney Bathrooms can help you create a sleek, modern shower space that’s not only stylish but also works beautifully all year round. Our tailored shower solutions are designed with both comfort and efficiency in mind, giving you a fresh, functional space that suits your lifestyle.
