11 award-winning bathroom buys to make everyday routines feel more stylish and enjoyable – from £24

Claybrook has a great selection of tiles, but its growing bathroom range deserves as much attention. Alongside pared-back sanitaryware (translation: baths to die for), you'll find pieces in marble, recycled stone and brushed metal that give a contemporary scheme plenty of warmth.

A full-bodied take on the classic rolltop bath, minus the frills that can feel fussy in modern homes. Its rolled rim and solid pedestal give the silhouette heft, and the double-ended shape means you can recline at either end.

Glossy zellige, glazed metro tiles and high-shine finishes have dominated bathrooms for years, so matt surfaces feel wonderfully fresh. These plain cement tiles come in a brilliant spectrum of 25 colours, with a powdery finish and gently tonal variation that gives surfaces a lovely chalky depth.

This is a call to scrap bathroom spotlights, which are flattering to neither the room nor the reflection. We love Vetro’s Murano sconces, which bring Venetian glassmaking to the bathroom in mouth-blown opal shades finished with a milky swirl. At just 14cm across, even the tiniest of spaces can accommodate a pair.

The team swooned when we first saw this design, featuring a chunky lever and slightly nautical profile, and all agreed it was sure to give even the plainest basin a little pizzazz. Brushed brass is our favourite finish for a bathroom too: softer, warmer and a little less showy than high-shine gold.

'A tiny ceramic bathtub for your soap is exactly the level of unnecessary whimsy we love. Villa Bologna first designed these sweet ceramic soap dishes in the 1970s and they are still handmade and hand-painted in Malta today. They feel more like a little treasure picked up on your travels than an everyday bathroom accessory.' – Rachel Edwards, style & interiors editor.
