A photo of the bathroom looking through the door to see the whole room. The same view before any work was done, showing the beige tiles and a lack of good storage.
A view of the new sink with brass wall spout and globe lighting either side of a round mirror above. The sink before was overlarge and off centre.

We renovated this beige bathroom by adding storage, function and lots of style.

A photo of the new built in cabinets under the sink with a white worktop which the sink sits on. Before this corner was unused and just had boxing for pipework in it.
A photo of the Crittall style shower screen, where you can see the brass shower valve through it. The photo shows that the shower wasn't here before, and there were just beige tiles here.
A photo of the new tap controls and handheld shower head in black. A photo showing that the shower was here at this end of the bath before the work was done.
A photo of the new brass shower head and valve with the square grid tiles around them.

A clever overflow bath filler means there are no taps to get in the way, and the repositioned rainfall shower creates more headroom.

A view of the shower screen looking through to the new bathroom. The old shower with a small shower head and dirty shower screen.
A photo of the new black radiator on the wall, with hooks above it.. A photo of the old chrome radiator which was too small.
A photo showing the new shelving above the bath.
A close up photo of the bespoke wall cabinets. A photo showing the old open storage shelving, which was squeezed in between the bath and the loo.
A view if the new sink and teal tiles behind at an angle. A photo of where the sink recess is, with the beige tiles and old shelving unit.

Warmth comes from the textured, tonal teal tiles and the mixture of brushed brass and matt black finishes. The grid like lines of the black grout on the small scale square tiles, echoed in the lines of the Crittall style shower screen, give a perfect contrast to the curves used throughout the room. It all adds up to a look that is stylish, warm and completely balanced.
