Master suite with contrasting moods for bedroom and bathroom
While this bathroom has an open feel and plenty of natural light, the bedroom next to it has a more moody atmosphere
From the designer: Katie Scott, Caro Design
The owners' brief to us was to create a relaxing moody space.
The bedroom, wardrobe and bathrooms in the home needed to feel connected, yet be separated enough for privacy.
They liked a luxury feel with an industrial touch.
The master bathroom needed to have good natural light and an open feel, while the bedroom was to have a contrasting, moody boutique feel.
We set about achieving this by floating the bedhead, removing all doors and installing a walk-round wall into the bathroom that created privacy, yet kept easy access to the bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.
Ceilings were kept high and accentuated by hanging feature lights through the space, while LED strips light up the toe kicks.
The space planning emphasises movement towards the bathroom, which opens up to the view over a country landscape. This was enhanced by adding a full-height window with opening louvres behind bath.
The bathroom has an open, walk-in wet area for the bath and shower on a lightly raised platform.
Concrete timber pressed walls and floor mimic the brushed oak timber bedhead in the bedroom.
