Ali's bathroom

The brief

Ali wanted to make this a destination space rather than a standard utilitarian bathroom.

It needed to feel bigger, gain surface space and be inspired by a trip to India. Storage was an issue to address as well as heating.

The solution

The Style Counsel employed multiple tactics to make this room feel bigger. A top half wall of mirror made the biggest change by making the room optically wider. Custom built cabinetry painted in a seamless continuation of the wall colour added to the sense of space and a free standing bath appears more airy.

Surface space was maximised by building narrow surfaces across the basin wall using the off cuts of the travertine floor, unifying the design.

We introduced a formica shower wall printed with a photograph by Ali's photographer husband, taken on their India trip, which holds particular resonance to this room design. The travertine chevron floor design and the curtain print are both taken from the photo.

Underfloor heating takes the edge off a cold winter floor.
