A new bathroom: With a Focal Point Bath, Separate Shower and Bespoke Storage Alcoves

Our Solution

As Parneet had been happy with the original bathroom, we had a good head start on the layout. The original bathroom had an oval freestanding tub, which was perfectly lovely, but our design team looked at the dimensions of the room and were able to suggest adding a wet-room style shower – just by shifting the bath along a little! Parneet loved this idea, and so we drew up plans to box in a new, standard-sized bath, and to create a half-wall at the end of the double-ended bath to define the shower-wet-room area. The basin vanity cabinet is opposite the bath, and the WC is opposite the shower.

False walls are included to hide all the plumbing, and there is a very handy built-in alcove shelf within the shower area too – just right for all the lotions and potions! The shower has a fixed overhead rose, with controls situated just below the shelf, so the overall look is very sleek and tailored. Ambient lighting runs along the side of the bath – it can be left on at night to illuminate bathroom visits. The overall colour scheme is natural stone grey, paired with chrome for the fittings. Added interest is introduced by the way of the textured tiled panels above the bath and in the alcoves. The basin area is a particular triumph, with a wall-hung cabinet teamed with a bowl-style basin and wall mounted fittings. There’s a shelf above, thanks to the false wall and above that a very striking mirrored cabinet. Parneet was delighted with our design suggestions, which went a long way to making up for the loss of the original bathroom!
