Start with understanding your tastes.

Get some scissors and a stack of magazines like Architectural Digest, Sunset, House Beautiful, In Style or even National Geographic. Cut out any picture that intrigues or inspires you.

Snip swatches of color too, using everything from ads to feature articles. Then separate them into piles along with any color chips and material samples (ribbon, fabric, tile, wallpaper) you may have collected.

For your bath, you might have a picture of a bamboo forest, another of Windsor Castle or a chip of tile. Look at the colors and textures and see if they agree. Perhaps you will end up with a granite finish on the tub and muted green walls, and decide to save the tile for the kitchen.
