NO FANTASY of a luxury holiday is complete without visions of an appropriately luxurious bathroom.
The trouble with fantasy (and holidays) is they don't last forever.
But a real luxury bathroom at home is a definite possibility with a few simple or not-so-simple additions.
If the bathroom's big enough, consider putting an armchair in the corner.
Waiting for the tub to fill while curled up with a book will just enhance the whole bath time experience.
If the bathroom has a clear glass window, don't obscure the view with a curtain — enjoy it.
Plant some greenery outside for privacy and let nature add to the relaxing ambience of bath time.
A freestanding bath coupled with wall-hung toilet and basins is another way to get the resort look, but it's the accessories that will really finish things off.
Starting at the top, hang a gorgeous chandelier or artwork on the walls.
You could even create a feature from wallpaper.
If you prefer paint, think carefully about the colour scheme.
A soft grey-blue teamed with white will give a Parisian charm to the room, while sky blue and white will bring a touch of the beach home to the suburbs.
And why keep all those lovely gift soaps hidden?
Put them on display in a crystal bowl, then finish off with scented candles.
