Bathrooms for Badasses
Why Your Smallest Room Deserves the Boldest Design
Here at Good Rooms, we believe the downstairs loo is the most overlooked design opportunity in the whole house. Think about it — every guest visits it, it’s a space you see daily, and it’s small enough that you can go totally rogue with colour, pattern and personality. No pressure, just potential.
So why settle for bland when you could be brilliant?
Our Bathroom Philosophy? Small Room, Big Mood.
We treat cloakrooms like jewel boxes — a chance to go all in on drama, texture and playfulness. Because in a room where you don’t spend much time, you can afford to be daring.
That means:
Wallpaper that winks – bold florals, jungle scenes, or something cheeky (lemurs, anyone?)
Rich, moody paint – deep greens, inky blues, or the kind of colour that makes white porcelain sing
Brass, baby – taps, handles, mirrors, lights — gold tones instantly elevate
Art that doesn’t take itself too seriously – think iconic photography or something that makes guests giggle
Tips for Designing a Badass Bathroom
1. Treat it like a real room
Not a utility cupboard. Give it personality. Add plants, art, soft lighting — create a vibe.
2. Go bold with wallpaper or paint
Cloakrooms are the perfect place for colour. Embrace it. No one remembers a beige bathroom.
3. Mix high with low
A fancy tap with an IKEA basin? Yes. A designer mirror with flea market lighting? Double yes. Good Rooms is all about the mix.
4. Don’t forget the floor
Patterned tiles or painted wood add just as much attitude underfoot.
5. Add a conversation piece
That could be a wild wallpaper, a neon sign, or a Kate Moss print with a moustache drawn on. You do you.
Why It Matters
Designing your bathroom well says you care about the details. That you're not afraid to have fun. That style and personality live in every corner of your home — even the one with a toilet.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
