<p>Giving your bathroom a brand new look can seem a bit daunting - especially when the words 'new' and 'tiles' are in the same sentence. </p><p>But with our lovely range of <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/bathroom-accessories/D26M07G07C02,default,sc.html" target="_blank">George Home accessories</a>, you don't need to rip out your bath, toilet and sink to make your bathroom look sparkly and new.</p><p>On hand to help is Victoria, an interiors addict and founder of blog, <a href="http://www.apartmentnumber4.com/" target="_blank">Apartment Number 4</a>, who has given us some tips.</p><p>She said: "Replacing your whole bathroom suite can be costly but simply redoing the grouting and sealant around the bath can give the space a new lease of life. Fresh new towels and accessories such as a bin and plants can update the space easily."</p><p><h2>2017 trends to look out for </h2>Victoria said: "There are three trends that stand out for 2017. First is 'organic', where natural textures such as wood and <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/home-accessories/george-home-lavender-in-vase/050080601,default,pd.html" target="_blank">plant life</a> are juxtaposed with clean, sleek lines to add an element of cosiness.</p><p>"Second is 'boldness', where rich, vibrant shades are used on bathroom walls, on the floor and in features such as stand-alone roll top baths." We love these statement, <a href="http://direct.asda.com/Havana-Stripe-Bath-Accessories-Range/SETSS17HAVANASTRP,default,pd.html" target="_blank">stripy bold accessories</a> range including soap dispenser, tumbler and toilet brush. Plus we think this <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/bathroom-accessories/round-brilliant-blue-metal-mirror/050080694,default,pd.html" target="_blank">bright blue mirror </a>will add a splash of bold colour to any bathroom.</p><p>"Lastly, 'geometry' will see symmetry make its way into the bathroom this season, with <a href="http://direct.asda.com/100%25-Cotton-Towel-Range---Havana-Stripe/SETHAVSTCOTTWL,default,pd.html" target="_blank">geometric prints</a> used on shower and sink tiles to create a statement wall."</p><p><center></p><p><img alt="bathroom_accessories" class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/bathroom_accessories_GL?scl=1" style="height: 602px; width: 1000px;"></center></p><p><h2>Storage solutions</h2>Victoria said: "Bathrooms are often small spaces so storage is essential. <a href="http://direct.asda.com/George-Home-Tamsin-Shelving-Unit---White/BUN17BAL003,default,pd.html#choice:productType" target="_blank">Ladder shelves</a> with <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/bathroom-accessories/zigzag-storage-basket/050074944,default,pd.html" target="_blank">wicker baskets</a> to store away towels and larger items towards the bottom are great. Towards the top of the ladder shelf, put out your everyday pieces like skincare, body lotion etc.</p><p>"Also utilise the space above or below your sink by adding a floating cupboard or small drawers. You could even maximise space under your bath by building a bath panel with added shelving or cupboard space behind it." These <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/home-accessories/george-home-grey-chevron-boxes/050105670,default,pd.html" target="_blank">storage baskets</a> are ideal for tucking away by your sink, or stacked on top of each other and <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/bathroom-accessories/george-home-2-piece-silver-storage-baskets/002075510,default,pd.html" target="_blank">these</a> are perfect for storing bulky objects like towels. <center> </p><p><img alt="ladder_shelving" class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/ladder_shelving_GL?scl=1" style="height: 737px; width: 1000px;"></center></p><p><h2>Incorporate some colour</h2>Victoria said: "If painting your bathroom walls a vibrant shade is a no-go, then <a href="http://direct.asda.com/Bird-Leaves-Bath-Accessories-Range/SETSS17BIRDLEAF,default,pd.html" target="_blank">accessories are the ideal</a> way to freshen up a space.</p><p>Pops of colour can come from <a href="http://direct.asda.com/Botanical-Towel-Range/SETBOTANICALTWL,default,pd.html" target="_blank">towels</a>, <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/bathroom-accessories/copper-metal-mirror/050080678,default,pd.html" target="_blank">decorative accessories</a> on the bathroom windowsill and <a href="http://direct.asda.com/Copper-Bath-Accessories-Range/GHAW16CopperBathAccsSET,default,pd.html" target="_blank">stylish soap dish and toothbrush holder</a> sets. Add a vase of flowers to a shelf or hang a bold print on a wall furthest away from the shower." <center></p><p>If you love the <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/botanical-rhapsody/D26M14G01C23,default,sc.html" target="_blank">botanical trend</a>, make sure you pop into your local George store where you'll <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/botanical-rhapsody/D26M14G01C23,default,sc.html" target="_blank">find our range.</a> </p><p><img alt="bathroom_pops_of_colour_" class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/bathroom_pops_of_colour__GL?scl=1" style="height: 653px; width: 1000px;"></center></p><p><h2>Tips for towels</h2>Victoria said: "The key here is to be tactile. Pick up the towel and feel how heavy it is. The greater quality, the heavier it will be. Plain white towels can add a hotel vibe to your space, while towels in a matching tone to your overall colour palette can really tie a room together. <a href="http://direct.asda.com/Botanical-Towel-Range/SETBOTANICALTWL,default,pd.html" target="_blank">Printed towels</a>, however, work best in a pared down space so it&rsquo;s not overpowering a small area."<center></p><p><img alt="geometric_towels" class="ci-image ci-original" src="https://ui3.assets-asda.com/dm/geometric_towels_GL?scl=1" style="height: 646px; width: 1000px;"></center></p><p><h2>Adding character to your space</h2>Victoria said her favourite bathroom accessory for adding character to a space is storage for skincare and beauty. She said: "I like to add vintage trays to house prettier bottles of lotions and potions, as well as apothecary <a href="http://direct.asda.com/George-Home-Ribbed-Small-Glass-Jar---Set-of-3/BUNKA650JAR0116,default,pd.html" target="_blank">glass jars</a> to hold cotton wool pads and ear buds. Along with <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/storage/george-home-willow-heart-basket/001473522,default,pd.html" target="_blank">baskets for rolled up towels</a> and a bath rack with <a href="http://direct.asda.com/george/home-garden/candles-holders/yankee-candle-home-inspiration-tumbler-vanilla-ice-cream-sundae/050085914,default,pd.html" target="_blank">candles burning</a>, it creates a five star spa experience in your own home.
