Client brief

For this project in Purley, the objective was to "maximise the potential" of a particularly petite bathroom. The client was eager to move away from a cramped feel, requesting contemporary fittings that would enhance functionality while delivering a sense of luxury. The goal was to transform a compact footprint into a shower room that didn't just feel practical for everyday use, but also provided a "wow factor" through high-end materials and modern convenience.

The process

To achieve "visual brilliance" in a small space, our designer focused on "recessed integration" and "the illusion of suspension." By setting key storage elements into the wall and elevating all furniture off the floor, we were able to maintain clear sightlines that make the room feel significantly larger. The process involved a "layered lighting" strategy, using illuminated recesses and mirrors to add depth. This approach allowed us to incorporate high-end features, like a steam function, without cluttering the room’s limited physical dimensions.

What we did

Seamless Recessed Storage: Diligently placed an HIB Vanquish illuminated mirror cabinet into a custom wall recess, creating a flush, streamlined appearance that saves valuable space.

Floating Vanity Suite: Installed a Crosswater Glide II basin paired with a driftwood unit, using the wall-hung design to maximise visible floor area and simplify maintenance.

Hydrotherapy & Steam Integration: Engineered a high-luxury shower enclosure featuring a bespoke steam function, providing a professional spa experience within a compact home setting.

Designer Brassware Curation: Specified premium shower fittings from Axor Hansgrohe and AVA, ensuring the hardware reflected the client's desire for contemporary luxury.

Luminous Architectural Details: Integrated a stunning illuminated recess within the shower zone, providing both a functional shelf and an ambient light source that highlights the marble-effect porcelain tiles.

Space-Enhancing Layout: Utilised a wall-hung WC to complement the basin unit, a strategic choice that reinforces the "illusion of space" and keeps the floor area unobstructed.

What a great place to look for a bathroom! So much choice, excellent quality from the top names and tiles are beautiful. The staff are super helpful, and have some great ideas. Wonderful to be able to see your bathroom in 3D & quickly. Great location in Fulham. Totally recommend a visit.
