If I had to design my dream bathroom, it would most likely be a minimalist, Scandi-inspired space with plenty of plants and natural materials, a welcoming bath and some indulgent scented candles. I love little luxuries, and nothing relaxes me more than a long, tranquil bath at the end of a busy day.

It should reflect the needs and personalities of the home’s occupants while remaining aesthetically pleasing. All of this was kept in mind as we crafted this edition of Bathroom Yearbook. Our Modern Living feature explores must-have products, appliances and accessories, while Nature Calls…

We love the Parisi freestanding bathtub, which adds a striking feature to the large space. A COUNTRY VISION “With encompassing views of the property, this stunning ensuite creates synergy with the bedroom so that the spaces have a harmonious relationship. The large freestanding Parisi bath takes full advantage of the spectacular views and is highlighted by pin lights, which accentuate the shape of the tub on the raised platform.

The new walk-in shower features a patterned leaf shower screen with an LED coloured strip complete with controller/sequencer and, most importantly, allows uninterrupted views from…

Here, we explore the many ways you can incorporate nature’s essence to create your own…
