Get the Look: Ritual Retreat

Posted by Nicky Kingston in Style guides | 2 years ago 5 min read

Searching for a mystical, magical bathroom that heightens the senses and soothes the soul? We show you how to “Get the Look”...

In celebration of The Great British Bathroom, we’ve been gazing into our crystal ball and discovered a growing interest in all things mystical and magical. Perhaps a backlash against the trappings of the modern world, this new-found appreciation for spirituality has led to some intriguing interiors, not least in the bathroom sphere.

With all this in mind, we put our heads together and came up with a bathroom look based on this trend, which we’ve called “Ritual Retreat”.

Ritual Retreat bathroom ideas


What is the look?

To create your own Ritual Retreat, it’s a good idea to look at some of the key elements which make up this look.

Twilight zone

Dark elements, like wood or stone effect walls and floors, create a more organic yet mysterious look and feel.

Into the woods

Trees and forests bring an enchanted feel and find their way into our bathroom through our choice of plants.

A space to be mindful

The bathroom is redefined as a place in which you can carry out your cleansing rituals and focus on your own spiritual wellbeing.

At the start of any bathroom design project, creating your own mood board can be great fun. To help you get into the spirit, we’ve made one of our own.

What’s in our Ritual Retreat bathroom?

Now you understand the trend and general theme, it’s time to start picking out those all-important bathroom products. So, which ones did we select?

Bath

In a bathroom that’s all about cleansing the soul, your choice of bath is key. We opted for the luxurious Spencer freestanding tub; with its stunning asymmetric design and soft curved shape, it fits perfectly with our magical, mystical interior.

Shower

You don’t need the Midas touch to turn your boring old shower into something extra precious. In this bathroom, bold, gold fixtures are the order of the day, with the Mode Spencer gold shower set providing a luxurious spa experience.

Enclosure

Don’t let anything get in your way when using your Ritual Retreat. Choose a walk in enclosure that provides easy access and opens up your space. This 8mm walk in shower enclosure pack even comes with dirt-repelling glass, so you can spend less time cleaning and more time cleansing.

Shower wall panels

One of the key elements in making this look work is your choice of backdrop. These gorgeous Multipanel Classic Cappucino Stone shower wall panels feature a magical, mysterious marble effect, for a relaxing and organic feel. And the great thing is, you aren’t just restricted to using in them in your showering space—they can be fitted right around your room.

Vanity unit and basin

With a handleless push-to-open drawer and a white gloss finish, this spacious yet stylish white vanity unit from the Austin collection is perfect for your Ritual Retreat. After all, a cluttered bathroom equals a cluttered mind, so it pays to conceal everything neatly.

Taps

To keep with the glittering metallic theme, we’ve selected gold coloured taps from the Spencer collection to match the shower. Complete with a superior PVD coated finish, both the basin mixer tap and freestanding bath filler are designed to stand the test of time.

Toilet

By concealing your toilet cistern behind a false wall panel or within a stud partition wall, we’ve managed to maintain a look that is sleek, minimalist and easy to clean. The Mode Tate back to wall toilet with its slimline D shaped seat perfectly complements the overall look and feel.

Wall and floor tiles

We used gorgeous stone effect white tiles on the floor, producing a clean, organic look and feel whilst providing contrast to the wall panels. Meanwhile, we’ve opted for a speckled white and blue tile around part of the wall, producing an intriguing effect which we’d liken to a snow shower—all very atmospheric!

Accessories

To bring a touch of the outdoors into your bathroom space, we added several larger, floorstanding pot plants, plus we’ve also made a Macramé plant hanger, to add a real personal touch to proceedings. Meanwhile, simple stone-effect accessories complement the wall panels.

The bath mat and luxury towels add texture, whilst a generous amount of candles will help provide the perfect ambience for that long, relaxing soak in the bath.
