Today on the La Redoute Influencer Hub, Maxine shares five of her best bathroom buys that will add pattern, style, and organisation to your bathroom.

Read on for her top tips to achieving beautiful bathroom interior:

1. Mix in patterned towels

If you want to add a pop of panache to your bathroom, then the easiest way is with patterned towels. They will revamp your space without having to decorate! Add variety with a mix of patterns and styles. I particularly adore checks and stripes, so it was easy to choose the Malia striped terry towel, Naouri chiselled bath towel and Antalya organic cotton towel with fringing detail to add visual interest. They are super fluffy to create that cosy bathing experience! 

2. Hide away bathroom essentials

Clutter can easily build up in a bathroom. But rather than having bottles and jars ruining the look of your room, invest in stylish storage. Store face cloths inside this black and gold ceramic jar and tuck unsightly toilet rolls out of the way in Zig Zag seagrass basket with pom poms. Dirty laundry is easily stored inside this roomy and fun wicker pineapple laundry basket (which is my favourite new addition to my home).
 

3. Put down a duckboard

 
For family bathrooms, a wooden duckboard needs to be top of your wish list. Not only will it give your bathroom Scandi vibes, but wood is also known for its hygienic properties which makes is a smart choice for busy bathrooms. This smooth wooden duckboard is a perfect alternative to the classic bathmat. Your bathroom will start to feel like a luxury spa in no time.
 

4. Choose a modernist mirror

 
Every bathroom needs a mirror for that morning routine. It was love at first sight when I spotted the Opanax mirror which can be hung in different positions. Part practical everyday item, part decorative object, this cool mirror features a jet-black marble panel and a circular mirrored section, it’s a fab contemporary piece to update your bathroom no matter which what you hang it.
 

5. Hang a patterned shower curtain

One clever trick to add pattern easily into your bathroom is with a patterned shower curtain. I went for the Perfect Day shower curtain to complement the monochrome colours in my room. With so much tiling and hard surfaces, bathrooms can look a little sterile! But hanging dotty curtains is a clever way to add texture and pattern to your bathroom, softening the overall look and feel of your room. Steal this idea!
