What makes a great bathroom?
Here at Domestic Science we believe that if you are able to do so, a bathroom should feel like any other room in your house. There is no reason not to add a favourite piece of art for example, or that shell and pebble collection that your children (or the child in you) have collected from your favourite beach.
If you have the space, why not add an armchair? The ultimate in luxury yes, but such a lovely way to add some softness to a room that is so often sterile and hard. If you can't fit in an armchair (and let's be honest, not many of us can) how about a vintage elm stool? Perfect as a perch for yourself or a glass of cold wine by the side of the bath.
Mixing both old and new is a key element to Libs own spaces at home and that of Domestic Science too. In bathrooms this can be used to great effect, allowing you to bring in texture and warmth with some vintage pieces mixed with the functional new elements that a bathroom has to often have. This combination creates a restful, unique but also a practical space too.
If you aren't sure where to start with that bathroom refresh, we sat down with Libs to ask her what her bathroom picks were.

Adding in a floral touch of Fikkerts foam to your warm bath, a Rose Geranium candle burning in the background and a cosy Turkish towel to wrap yourself in after, you have yourself a perfect evening to wind down after a long day. Sounds like bathroom bliss to us!
Think pink
We've noticed coloured sinks are back on trend & we are so happy about it. Lib's has always loved the retro aesthetic and this pink sink she chose does just that!
