The cool blue ensuite
Modern Bathroom, Manchester
This bathroom clearly needed updating but the general layout was ok. However, with a few tweaks we were able to improve this. By removing the radiator and replacing it with a heated towel rail below the airing cupboard we were able to increase the size of the shower. We stole some space from the airing cupboard and created a fake dividing wall that had alcoves at the back for the shower and shelves at the front for towels. We switched the toilet and sink around so that you weren't looking at the toilet through the bedroom door, and we replaced the shallow fitted bath with a deeper oval bath with mixer taps and a shower head. The aqua blue mosaic floor tiles give the impression you're looking into a mediterranean swimming pool, and the blue and white colour scheme with plantation shutters give it that touch of New England glamour.
