Bathroom From Scratch
Eclectic Bathroom, London
A family of five moved into a lovely new home with one major problem: just one cramped bathroom to cope with their traditionally hectic mornings. They had two choices— either pull out the bathroom suite and start over, or turn one of the other more spacious rooms into a new bathroom. They decided on the latter, and picked an open room with an amazing fireplace.
The family mainly wanted to combine both style and practicality. The style desired was something very English-looking with modern fittings and traditional styling. A black and cream theme with gilt and terracotta accessories for color and warmth was chosen. The most distinctive feature in this room is the black and white tile laid in a checkerboard design. We continued this Victorian-inspired style on the shower walls and the splashback above the sink.
A new, beautiful Winchester roll-top bathtub was placed in front of the large window which has simple cream roller blinds and subtly striped curtains for an extra luxurious feel. A large double console sink unit was a perfect addition for this large family. The shelves above the fireplace were given a cream distressed paint effect and now serve as ample space for toiletries.
Converting this extraneous room into a brand new, stylish bathroom suite helped perfect their new house and make it work better for their lifestyles.
