The pure strength of aqua has the ability to transport us from a gloomy winter day to a tropical isle. Clean and serene, it’s the perfect shade for a spa-like bathroom.

The power of colour is magical. A specific hue can lift our spirits and transport us to another place, and even a different season of the year. If you have a favourite escape plan like most of us do in the winter (even if it's just in your imagination), chances are it relates to sun, sand and water. You can take that trip any time you want by creating the right mood in the bathroom.

Of all the colours in the whole spectrum, blue is the most soothing. It represents the sea and sky in all its shades from the grayest day to the sunniest. Blue evokes fresh air and cleanliness. No wonder it has always been a favourite for our bathrooms. Aqua is blue with a hint of green. A bathroom awash in this colour has the ability to put a spring in your step when you start your day and soothe you in a bubble bath as you end it. Paired with purest white, this duo is always fresh and alive.
