Client brief

As part of a larger multi-bathroom renovation, the client wanted this small cloakroom to break away from the ordinary. The vision was to create a fun, contemporary, and vibrant space that would leave a lasting impression on guests while remaining functional enough to handle the demands of a busy family home.

The process

To arrive at the final look, we worked closely with the family to identify what they valued most in their home's transition areas. We experimented with various styles and layouts during the design progression, using 3D modelling to test how bold patterns would react in a confined space. This iterative process allowed the client to move beyond safe choices and pinpoint a layout that perfectly balanced a "wow factor" aesthetic with modern practicality.

What we did

Vibrant Tile Curation: Specified a striking and unique tile combination that serves as the room's primary design feature, infusing the small space with energy and colour.

Maximised Guest Impact: Focused the design on high-visibility elements, ensuring the cloakroom feels like a curated "jewel box" within the larger home renovation.

Contemporary Specification: Sourced sleek, modern fixtures that maintain a clean aesthetic, allowing the bold tiling to remain the central focus without the room feeling cluttered.

Optimised Small-Space Layout: Designed the placement of the vanity and toilet to ensure comfortable movement and ease of use, despite the compact dimensions.

Cohesive Design Language: Tied the vibrant styling of the cloakroom into the contemporary theme of the rest of the house, ensuring a seamless transition between the home's various living zones.
