How to Inject Light into a Small Bathroom - Before/After
Our clients wanted to create a modern coastal bathroom with lots of lighting.
They needed a complete renovation to be done after a shower screen leak and they were in serious need of updating having not been touched in over 20 years.
Before:
During:
After:
We gutted the entire bathroom and stripped back everything to the frame, along with adding in all new piping.
We added in statement features such as matte black handles, tapware and mosaic tiles to tie everything together and add dimension to the space.
It was crucial to take a lot of features out. The things that dont stand out take these bathrooms to the next level like the line matching of tiles, working full tiles without cuts, shower screen that matches the window head, no reveals on the windows, the positioning of the strip drain, the 900x450 format terrazzo floor tiles meaning there was only 1 grout join in the floor, fully frameless shower screen with no visible fixings, wall hung in wall cistern toilet, wall hung vanity, neiches in the shower and over bath, vertical heated towel rail, back to wall bath and slimline anodised tile trim all go to give a very clean minimal look that still feels comfortable.
Before:
After:
New louvre windows were also added in allowing more natural light into the space, along with LED strip lighting being added to the bath and shower neiches, under the vanity and halo lighting around the mirror.
After:

Comments (36)Hi Senspasce and thank you my husband works for a large tile manufacturer and the tiles where purchased on slight seconds and a great tiler who works all over the world did the tiling beautifully. The design was copied from the company brochure so I knew it was foolproof design in its day which was over 20yrs ago so not done so bad really certainly had my moneys worth. The window is very heavily obsurced glass with leaded design so does not need blinds which cannot be fitted as casement to window is not deep enough I have had curtain treatment on expandable rod but like the light and openness. I prefer a bath we use to have shower on bracket with a shower curtain when I had new mixer and taps I did away with them to open the room up and getaway from water mold building up we use bath mat on floor when showering and not a problem with no screen a lot less cleaning too never a problem without them....See MoreBathroom before and after
Comments (28)@martin thank you! Yes the two sills are just painted MDF. They were originally white but I felt the room needed more definition, I had some leftover black wood paint so I painted them and didn’t regret it! And yes I wanted the tiles to look as seamless as possible so just went for white grout....See MoreBefore & After- Modern Bathroom- Barnes Period Home
Comments (2)Not so struck on the tiling - I know it's probably the clients choice, but to me it looks like an old fashioned, traditional public convenience. Love the shower though!...See MoreBefore & After- Bathroom Transformation- Granny Chic to Scandi Chic
