When bathroom scales bring good news
This bathroom offers a grownup retreat while being considered for children in the future – atmospheric fish scale mosaics make a splash
Designed by Nicola Manning Design
From the designer:
The owners of this 1930s bungalow style home had plans drawn up to add on a large open-plan kitchen and living space to their existing house and to completely renovate the rest of their existing house, including the ensuite bathroom and the family bathroom.
The brief for the family bathroom was to create a luxurious but also practical space.
They don’t have children yet, so they want to use this bathroom as a luxurious bathroom to relax in the bath, provide a lovely space for guests and visitors to use, and also to be practical for when they do have children.
We used a lovely soft palette of greys, including Carrara fishtail mosaic tiles and a soft large scale grey tile.
This has been combined with a light oak timber fronted vanity and luxurious pops of warm colour through the brass fittings.
Great lighting has been provided with a sensor operated LED light strip under the vanity, an LED light strip in the large tiled niche above the bath, an LED front lit mirror and good general lighting.
In full relaxation mode they can just switch on the LED lighting and light some candles.
When this bathroom is being used for busy family life there is a good amount of storage in the vanity, a large shower and a lot of floor space in front of the bath for bathing small children.
