This year my timing has been atrocious; Chelsea week has coincided with my plumber having a long awaited window in which to revamp my bathroom. I arrive home at 10 pm and am bombarded with choices between different toilet seats, colour schemes, tiles, towel rails, you name it!

Being that it is impossible for me to visit any bathroom shop I had despaired until I realised that inspiration was all around me.

Where better to choose a colour scheme than in the great pavilion where you are surrounded by every colour nature has to offer. I was looking for the perfect blue and spotted a Baptisia australis on the Hardy's Cottage Garden Plant stand. A lupin-like hardy perennial and I think one that is highly underrated as it is easy to grow. That's the walls sorted, now for the floor tiles...

Walking through the swanky furniture stands I looked down and saw a soft marble mosaic floor tile, just the ticket.

If only I had the space for a large hot tub and giant shower just like the Canary Island Spa garden but I do like the matt black finish, it gives a sophisticated edge and is definitely something to consider.

All I need now is some gorgeous scented oils from the Perfume Garden and I can recover from a long but enjoyable week at Chelsea.
