Every September we are inundated with brands sharing their colour predictions for the year ahead. Recent paint trend predictions have included bold greens and even yellows. However, Graham and Brown have set themselves apart from the crowd predicting that soothing blue hues will be filling our homes in 2021.

The striking Restore has been named as the wallpaper that the brand is championing in 2022. It is partnered with the soothing colour of the year Breathe.

Here it is, Restore Midnight in all its glory. The elegant wallpaper is a celebration of nature, self-care and optimism for the future. It has been designed to recreate a modern concrete jungle, showcasing a variety of wild plants, set against a concrete-like backdrop.

The pattern is intended to imitate nature reclaiming the space around us explains Design Manager, Maryanne Cartwright.

‘Through the limited access to the outdoors, we have truly appreciated the importance of nature, and the natural calmness that we find in the elements,’ she explains.

But full bathroom renovations are expensive. Many of us simply don’t have the finances to afford extensive changes, or don’t want to splash out right now.

Luckily, for those looking for DIY bathroom ideas on a budget, design expert George Holland from Victorian Plumbing has revealed 10 quick and easy bathroom revamp ideas for under £50 – perfect if you’re looking for an interiors update that won’t require you to take out a second mortgage.

10 DIY bathroom ideas on a budget that cost under £50

1. Paint a colourful ceiling

Painting your bathroom ceiling non-white is great way to make your private space feel personal and unique. The biggest expense here is the paint itself, though you’ll need a step-ladder too. Make sure to protect the floor with an old sheet. Use a brush to paint a covering first and make sure to cut in the edges, and finish with two coats with a roller.

Pro tip: Painting a ceiling can be dangerous. Clear the bathroom, make sure your ladder is steady and move it where you need to paint. Never stretch from the ladder.

Mirrors can be used to their best advantage to enhance every room. Whether that be inside a small living room, in the corner of a narrow, window-less hallway or a in the middle of a bright bathroom – perhaps it’s a full-size bedroom mirror that you are after? This home decor accessory has the ability to turn a space from drab to fab. The best part? You needn’t spend an arm and a leg on a wall mirror or floor mirror. Check out our top picks below for proof.

What type of mirror to choose? That’s up to you! And the size of your space (and budget). There are wall mirrors to take up zero of your precious floor space, though these obviously require you to drill holes in your wall. Floor mirrors are usually lengthy in height so that you can see your entire outfit up close and from afar, and these can either be wall-mounted, leaned against a wall or sometimes they come with a stand to make them renter-friendly. There are mirrors with shelves for your bathroom or hallway – for holding your hand soap or keeping your keys safe. Don’t forget about mirrors with storage so that you can add light and style to your space, whilst still being super practical. Of course, there are over mantle mirrors to balance atop your fireplace – plus many more types.

Whether it’s a new bathroom mirror or a fancy hallway mirror to give the illusion that this space is bigger than it really is, or even a bedroom mirror to do your makeup up, Ideal Home is here to help. What are you waiting for? Whichever room you’re looking to dress with a mirror, we’ve got it covered in our round-up of the best mirrors available to buy now online. Take a look for inspiration…

1. MADE Tulsi Bamboo Round Wall Mirror

Our favourite wall mirror

This bamboo beauty is rounded for a softer look, while we say to place it anywhere from a hallway – above a shelf or some shoe storage – to a living room atop a mantle, or even in your bedroom mounted above your chest of drawers. It could even work well within a gallery wall or you could place it inside a bathroom. The reason the Tulsi Bamboo Round Wall Mirror is our first pick? It’s super versatile – and eco-conscious thanks to its bamboo construction. Choose to wall mount this mirror or lean it against a wall and leave it to make a statement. Unique and understated, this wall mirror may be retro but it’ll definitely work inside any home, whether yours is contemporary, modern, scandi or minimalist.
