Quiet luxury was the focus in this hotel-style bathroom in Hackney, London, with close attention paid to the finer details. Natural wood, tiles, surfaces, and sheer fabric curtains in earthy, light tones added organic texture and layering for a calm, serene feel.

The Parker Howley & Co double fluted-wood vanity unit gives plenty of storage, with a pair of sinks and twin shelved mirrors to keep favourite products close to hand. It has a Caeserstone worktop that won’t mark or stain, and Dyke and Dean wall lights surround it to ensure the space is well-lit with a flattering, soft glow.

Matt and gloss Grestec tiles are combined on the walls in a non-uniform way to create a beautiful effect when daylight hits them.

The sheer curtains create a textured backdrop for the bath, softening the daylight and making the room feel more luxurious. I specified a floor-mounted bath filler (rather than a standard wall-mounted tap) to allow the bath to be a centrepiece with space around it.

The spacious room meant a wall could be constructed to create a walk-in shower for a spa-like feel. Tiled niches are on both sides, so the clients can tuck away and conveniently store their everyday toiletries. The shower controls are located at the entrance, allowing the shower to be turned on and adjusted to the right power and temperature before entering.
