The project

A shower room with real colour

The existing shower room was functional but grey, and the clients wanted something with much more character.

We stripped it back to the walls, laid electric underfloor heating and rebuilt the shower behind a black-framed glass screen.

Deep green handmade-style tiles wrap the room, with a white mosaic floor to keep it fresh rather than dark.

A reclaimed-look walnut vanity with a vessel basin, a timber-framed mirror cabinet and brushed brass fittings add warmth against the green.

Project summary

From plain grey to deep green

The challenge

A plain grey shower room that worked but had no character.

The clients wanted colour, warmth and natural materials.

The response

A full refit with deep green tiles, a white mosaic floor, underfloor heating and a black-framed walk-in shower.

A walnut vanity and brushed brass fittings bring warmth against the green.

The result

A shower room with real personality that is comfortable all year round.

Colour, timber and brass make a small room feel considered and special.
