Hands up if you love looking at bathroom makeovers? I must confess that I'm a huge fan. When it comes to interiors, all of us have certain preferred styles, colours and combinations.

I learn so much from both major ‘before and after’ transformations, and simple, clever tips. Importantly, bathroom makeovers are such a good source of inspiration because they are real-life bathrooms. They are functional, as well as fabulous to look at. These bathrooms are realistic, and represent what can really be achieved. I am all for authenticity and keeping it real.

Of course, built sets and studio photography are wonderful to give bathroom ideas and showcase certain concepts.

These days, they are embracing this notion with the concept of industrial design. Taking inspiration from warehouses and factories, this may seem a world away from the opulence and grandeur you would expect from a luxury bathroom. However, the two are blending together so well, they're offering a multitude of possibilities for bathroom and interior designers. Read on to discover how you can achieve this look in the modern bathroom:

Industrial design

This style, of course, is not new. As its name suggests, this emerged when former industrial buildings were converted to domestic housing, and owners chose to highlight – not hide – certain original
