When it comes to creating the perfect bathroom for your home there’s countless tried and true material and colour combinations to choose from, but none are quite as prolific as the classic pairing of white and timber.
A versatile base for just about any home’s style, a white palette can help amplify the natural light within a bathroom, as well as maximise the sense of space.
Pairing it with a natural material like timber will instantly add warmth and an organic touch, no matter what shade of kind of timber you choose.
If you love the white and timber look and are feeling adventurous you can also add a subtle or not-so-subtle patterned tile or feature wall to instantly elevate your bathroom.
To inspire your next bathroom revamp we’ve pulled together 10 of the best white and timber bathroom ideas.
