Decorating in White...

Sleek, simple and sophisticated: The three S's of style

(NC)-White has become the colour of choice for keeping things simple, yet stylish, in the bathroom. Trendy colours come and go with each passing season, but white is always at the height of style and colour coordination possibilities are endless.

The benefits of decorating in white are many: tranquility and relaxation, which, when combined can be two of the greatest stress relievers. Both offer an escape from the every day hustle and bustle of life's stresses.

White is also a natural choice if you're following one of today's most popular design themes - the home spa. The spa bathroom craze is hotter than ever with more homeowners installing multiple body sprays in the shower, hand-held nozzles and waterfall and rain features that play up the spa-like feel.

Below are tips on how to style your bathroom the sleek, simple and sophisticated white way:

Sleek

Sleek style is a clean, streamlined look that takes you away from the everyday. When going for a sleek design, install a chrome-finished faucet to add sparkle. When contrasted with white, a chrome finish brightens up the room.

Simple

When decorating in white, remember it's all about keeping things simple. The "less is more" rule applies here, so you'll want to look for accents and bathroom fixtures that are stream-lined to incorporate the simple, yet sophisticated look you're after. Wainscoting, new window treatments, or purchasing new guest towels are simple, yet stylish techniques to jump-start your new bathroom.

Sophisticated

For a sophisticated look in the bathroom, try the popular accessory lines from Moen that come with white accents. For example, Moen's decorative toilet tank levers provide an added touch, bringing every last detail together.
