Here we revisit what I would call a transitional design from a few years ago. Blending deco, industrial and classical features, this room divides the functional spaces using mosaic tile for the wetted floor area and natural wood floorboards elsewhere. The wc introduces the angular, black on white deco aesthetic and sits perfectly with our own bespoke black ladder-framed industrial washstand with marble top. The two-tone basin mirrors the contrast of the wc.
brushed brass fittings are used to enhance the luxurious aesthetic around the centrepiece which is a two-tone freestanding bath

For this bathroom, we took reference from the angled ceiling line which naturally bounds the bathtub, drawing us towards a deco aesthetic. Silverdale bathrooms high quality traditional ceramics (made in Newcatle-under-Lyme) were used for the wc, basin and coordinating furniture unit with chamfered front corners. A Drench Showers deco 2-panel walk-in enclosure maintains the contrast in the showering space, the floor of which is a Merlyn Truestone slate tray. Our client wanted to retain and refinish the existing floorboards so we bounded the tray with a tiled kerb to ensure the timber is protected from end-grain water ingress. The bold aesthetic was completed with a Paladin traditional cast iron radiator.

Here we created a tonal, immersive bathroom for our client. Soft ergonomic forms were used for sanitartware and furnishings with the white elements contrasting against mid-tone greys to both walls and floors. The wide vanity mirror is optimally positioned opposite the window while the bath creates a central focus to the space. A tall storage cupboard to the side of the vanity unit provides immediate access to bathroom products whilst avoiding step-back across the shallow width of the room. A freestanding bath filler completes the ergonomic features of this luxury space.

We designed this luxury master ensuite for a client in Mill-End, Henley on Thames.

The brief was to create a relaxing, light space, sympathetic to a period country home.

Incorporating wardrobes and a central space for an ottoman, we separated the WC into it’s own enclosure to enable dual use of the space.

The raised walk-through wetroom with tiled waterfall divider gives a bold architectural focus to the room, balancing the scale of the vanity while a custom backlit, framed mirror provided a contemporary feature whilst maintaining period styling.

This shower room was designed to work with the timber-framed roofline of this long modern property, using the space effectively. A contemporary dual-tone stone-effect tile finish gives definition to the space whilst harmonising through the figuring. We created the shelves and signature brush-niche next to the WC in-house, using solid surface. This 1.8m long walk-in shower replaced an unused bath. It features both a wetted storage niche in the wall for showering products and a dry shelf to the end for towels. The gentleman of the house can now rise and shower early, without waking the rest of his family.

Due consideration in bathroom design is something we're passionate about.

Does your designer give their all to understand and accommodate your needs and wishes? Can they explain every suggestion they have made?

Below is the summary we provided with this design for a ground floor ensuite:

Always do your best...

==========

Dear....

I have considered this shower room from the point of view of creating a space that can serve those with accessible needs and guests equally.

The wetroom floor gives provides unimpeded access into the showering area which also incorporates a tiled corner seat. This seat could be added later or the shower could be retro-fitted with a flip-down type. It does however, also serve as a raised footrest which is something we are incorporating more often into showers.

When seated, there is easy access to the shower handset and the storage nook. The shower wall outlet incorporates a retro-fitted shut-off valve which can be operated independently of the main thermostatic valve from the seated position. The main shower valve is operable form the dry end, and also by an assistant if required.

The shower wet wall has a flip panel to the end to widen access into the shower / WC, yet provide suitable splash prevention to the basin corner and central floor area. This also helps with transition from a seated position to the WC or shower seat if required.

The heated towel rail has been position for ease of access from the shower. A towel hanger is provided for hand-drying immediately next to the basin to prevent drips on the floor.

A short projection WC has been swapped with the basin position on the Architect’s drawing to provide better access to the shower and to present a nicer view upon entrance. Next to the WC is an open storage recess for a spare paper roll and a brush which sits behind a tiled, push-to-open door.

The basin provides a very good landing area around the bowl with a single drawer for storage below.

The full-width mirror has concealed lighting above and below as per your Architect’s specification. This mirror could be replaced with full-width storage cabinets or a combination of fixed mirrors and cabinets behind....

This mirror could be replaced with full-width storage cabinets or a combination of fixed mirrors and cabinets behind. I recall you asked for lots of storage but as this is a downstairs shower room, I wasn’t sure if it was crucial to this space. I can amend the drawings easily to show cabinets if required.

The décor wall tile is the one you saw in the studio and is balanced by a field tile of similar tone to the other walls. This field tile is also available in a 120x120 size with an anti-slip finish for the floor, which is in excess of HSE guidelines for bare foot, wetted use. This is especially important when the floor may be used by those with accessible needs.

The tones and forms used in this room are warm yet contemporary which I feel well reflects the architecture of your home.
