The project

A family bathroom that needed more of everything

The old bathroom had blue painted walls, a dated suite and very little storage for a busy family.

Mornings were crowded and there was no space for two people to get ready at the same time.

We redesigned the room around a black double vanity, a bath with a glass screen and storage recessed into the walls.

A star-pattern floor, white metro tiles and lit shelving give the room a crisp, graphic character that is easy to live with.

Before

Understanding
the starting point

The original room had blue painted walls, a pedestal basin and a layout that left little room for storage.

The plan

Every centimetre has a role

The bath runs beneath the window wall, the double vanity faces the door and storage is built into the wall depth.

The concept

Pattern, white and black detail

A strong floor, quiet walls and black accents that tie the room together.

The build

The detail behind the finish

The room was taken back to the structure, with new waste routes, underfloor heating and precise tiling throughout.

Project summary

From dated and cramped to graphic and generous

The challenge

A dated suite, blue painted walls and very little storage made busy mornings difficult.

There was no space for two people to use the room at the same time.

The response

A full renovation with a black double vanity, a bath with a glass screen, underfloor heating and recessed storage.

A star-pattern floor and white metro tiles give the room a crisp, lasting character.

The result

A family bathroom that works for everyone, every morning.

Bold pattern, clean walls and black details make the room feel both lively and calm.
