Bathroom 1
This bathroom had been built as part of an extension on an old maisonette. Its grey-white walls and single light globe left it with a cold and unfinished look. The simple introduction of blue paint to match the feature tiles and some halogen spotlights gave this room a much richer feel.

Bathroom 2
Removed shower screen, hand hose, existing toilet and bathroom cabinet. Installed a new Fowler toilet, a chrome shelf for toiletries, a large heavy gold framed mirror and new charcoal towels. Combined with the vivid deep pink walls this gave this room substantial visual impact and transformed it into an enjoyable space with only limited expenditure.

Bathroom 3
Another bathroom on a very limited budget. The removal of the appalling home-made painted timber shelves, old vanity cabinet, beige plastic towel rails, the wall mounted fluorescent light fitting and dark shower curtain all helped. These items were all replaced with a range of chrome fittings that contrast with the change of wall colour. The original walls were a dirty cream that made everything in the bathroom look dirty. The new darker paint had the effect of making all of the existing white tiles look unbelievably clean and bright.

Bathroom 4
The public access toilets at Bridgewater Mill Restaurant had been well maintained since being installed around twenty years ago, however their image did not reflect the well known, much awarded restaurant they served. For a modest outlay the dated small basins were replaced with large contemporary items with stylish mixer taps that provided some bench space for fresh flowers and users personal items. The plain wall mirrors were replaced with large framed versions and the cubicle partitions and entry doors were refinished in a deep charcoal colour. The result was toilets that have a sense of glamour and drama.

Bathroom 5
This small bathroom, on the third floor of an apartment building, has sweeping views through its clear glass windows. The original tired venetian blinds were removed allowing the view to be seen and to increase the feeling of space within the bathroom. The budget did not allow for changes to the sanitary and tapware, but painting the walls charcoal, using the clients existing 60’s green Kartel mirror and placing a row of Sanseveiria plants in pots along the windowsill have freshened up this bathroom significantly.

Bathroom 6
The budget for this project didn’t allow for an upgrade to this small guest toilet, so while tiling and sanitary ware are original, the old cigarette smoke stained walls were painted vivid orange to match the orange in the three framed photographs taken by the owner. Removal of the existing very low suspended ceiling helps increase the feeling of space and the addition of a chrome spot light fitting directed at the framed photographs makes this modest room positively glow.

Bathroom 7
This bathroom dated the house it was in and embarrassed its owner. As the home was about to be put on the market for sale, the bathroom received a much needed speedy transformation. The tired blue tiles and sanitary ware were all replaced with new white items. A swiveling mirror/storage cabinet was added as a stylish and practical feature.

Bathroom 8
This bathroom needed investment to make it waterproof and structurally sound. While doing this the opportunity was taken to rearrange the placement of fittings and build a false wall to hide storage cupboards. The marble mosaic tiles on the floor and huge ceiling cornices relate to the original age of the home. The Alessi toilet and basin were selected for their stunning looks and timeless design.

Bathroom 9
There was no room internally for a bath in this apartment, but fortunately there was a private 'sun deck' on the top floor. This space was originally barren and uninviting, but with the addition of an outdoor bath and lots of succulent plants it has been transformed into a beautifully blissful bathing environment.
