Client brief

The client wished to transform their bathroom into a bold, boutique-hotel-inspired retreat that made a distinct artistic statement. Moving away from standard neutrals, they wanted a vibrant feature wall balanced by calming, minimalist textures. Practically, the design needed to elegantly navigate a sloped ceiling over the bathing zone while incorporating a spacious shower-over-bath setup, luxurious lighting, and ample smart storage to maintain a clutter-free environment.

The process

Our design team utilised detailed 3D visual planning to strike the perfect balance between high-impact drama and spa-like serenity. We zoned the vanity wall with striking blue onyx-effect tiles, grounding the rest of the room in soft, matte neutral slabs. To maximise the challenging sloped-ceiling layout, we paired an expansive 1800mm Bette Form bath with a crystal-clear 10mm glass screen, anchored cleanly by a brushed brass ceiling support arm.

What we did

Statement Wall Curation: Specified and supplied high-gloss blue onyx-effect marble tiling for the main feature wall, beautifully contrasted against soft, large-format matte neutral tiles on the remaining walls and floor.

Curved Vanity Focal Point: Supplied the Faeber Lunar curved fluted oak vanity unit with a seamless matte white basin, introducing an elegant organic texture and substantial three-drawer storage.

Architectural Bath & Shower Design: Configured a premium shower-over-bath solution featuring an 1800mm Bette Form bath and a 10mm London Showers glass panel, perfectly adapted to the sloping ceiling via an Abacus brushed brass ceiling arm.

Integrated Ambience & Niches: Integrated a recessed Faeber Edge LED illuminated mirror cabinet alongside custom-crafted, warm-lit display niches trimmed in brushed brass to maximise storage and layer soft evening light.

Premium Brassware Specification: Curated a full suite of Just Taps Kono and Lumen brushed brassware, including the minimalist wall-mounted shower valves, deluge shower head, and matching basin mixer, perfectly tied together by a matching AVA Purity heated towel rail.
