the fab flat: bath linens

i don't know about you, but i always think that a bathroom can really make or break a home - especially if you're living in a rental! i was incredibly lucky to find a flat that not only ticked all the right boxes in the living and bedroom decor, but also had a generously-sized bathroom in a fairly neutral colour ...

corners of my home | 07

there's nothing like having a sleek modern bathroom with a giant tub and rainfall shower to encourage a bit of relaxation at the end of the day. sadly, very few of us have the space (or the budget!) for such luxury, and my tiny bathroom in my rented victorian mansion flat is sorely lacking in a bathtub one is capable ...
