The project

Two rooms with one design language

The family wanted to renovate both bathrooms in the house and give each a clear identity while keeping them connected.

The existing rooms were dated, with tired tiling, a cramped shower and very little light.

We rebuilt both rooms from the studs, then used lit mosaic niches as the signature detail: gold in the main bathroom, rose in the second.

A freestanding slipper bath, LED mirrors and an oak-effect floor make the main bathroom warm, bright and relaxing.

The brief

Warm light, soft forms

The brief

The brief was two bathrooms that felt calm and special, with good light and easy-to-clean surfaces.

Design direction

We combined large white tiles, an oak-effect floor and back-lit mosaic niches with a freestanding bath and LED mirrors.

The plan

Every centimetre has a role

The bath sits as a centrepiece, the shower runs behind glass and the vanity is wall-hung beneath a lit mirror.

The concept

Glow, curve and warm timber

Soft shapes and warm light balanced by clean white surfaces.

The build

The detail behind the finish

Both rooms were taken back to the studs, with new services, waterproofing and lighting before the finishes went in.

Project summary

From dated and dim to warm and bright

The challenge

Two dated bathrooms with worn tiling, a cramped shower and very little light.

The family wanted each room to feel special while still belonging to the same home.

The response

Both rooms rebuilt from the studs, with lit mosaic niches as the signature detail in each.

A freestanding slipper bath, LED mirrors and an oak-effect floor bring warmth to the main bathroom.

The result

Two bright, calm bathrooms with a shared design language.

Soft curves and warm light make the main bathroom a room to relax in, not just pass through.
