  1. The Roman Baths:

Illuminate your space with the luminous glow of the Roman Bath's oolitic limestone columns. Embrace exposed stone walls for a touch of natural elegance. Alternatively, coat your walls in a refined white hue, such as Stone I by Paint and Paper Library, evoking the subtle tones of this Devol kitchen.

 
 

2. The Royal Crescent Hotel:

Everyone who comes to Bath visits the infamous Royal Crescent, a perfect example of Bath’s finest Georgian architecture. Step into the heart of Bath's elegance at the Royal Crescent Hotel. With its recently refurbished dining rooms and bar. Treat yourself to a meal or even stay and indulge in the full experience, immersing yourself in the beauty of Georgian architecture and savouring every intricate detail.

 
 

3. The Victoria Art Gallery

The Victoria Art Gallery was designed in 1897 and was transformed for the modern era. Visit the current exhibition featuring Toulouse-Lautrec and the Masters of Montmartre, which will be open until Sept 2024.

Channel the gallery vibe by adding nostalgic prints to your walls. Infuse vibrant colours for personality, like cobalt blue, creating a perfect backdrop for your artwork.

 
 

4. The Ivy Brasserie, Bath

Step into The Ivy Brasserie nestled in Bath's former Natwest Bank building on Milsom Street. This beautifully renovated space seamlessly blends Art Deco flair with Georgian architectural elements, creating a captivating fusion. It's a perfect match for traditional Georgian homes seeking a touch of Art Deco sophistication.

 
 

5. Everyman Cinema

Immerse yourself in the opulent ambience of the Everyman (formerly Tivoli), nestled within the mock Georgian Southgate shopping centre. Designed by the renowned agency Run For The Hills, it's a haven of glamour and luxury. To infuse your own space with the Tivoli's exquisite style, seek inspiration at the Soho Home store.
