1. Colour-drenched bathroom

It was the pandemic that finally nudged Chantel and her husband into making a move to the countryside. And when the couple, who had lived in London for 20 years, were given the opportunity to design and build their family home in the Cotswolds, they jumped at the chance. 

An architect had worked on the original build drawings for the five-bedroom home. Then, Chantel, with decades of experience in the interiors industry, worked on the layouts and space planning. When she turned her attention to the family bathroom, which is mostly used by her children, she knew she wanted to design a colourful scheme. 

Picture bold, geometric tiles, a tin bath, which is painted in a deep shade of blue, and an orange vanity unit, which all add more fun to the design. Sounds like your style? Click here to discover more about this joyful project.

2. Zen ensuite

While the homeowners managed to refurbish most of the five-bedroom property in Lewes, East Sussex, throughout the years since buying the property in 2005, it wasn’t until recently that the couple realised they never really completed the renovation of their master suite; more specifically their own bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. So, the brief was for these new rooms to reflect their personal taste, with both classic and contemporary elements.

“The home looks out on the South Downs and it was a shame this view wasn’t utilised. So, I designed the bathroom around it,” says interior designer Amy Hunt of the eponymous design studio. Click here for a complete tour of this stunning space.

3. Marble bathroom

Homeowners Jen and Miles decided to buy a larger home when they were expecting their second child. The pair spotted a house in serious disrepair but knew it had amazing potential. “It was very tired and unloved and needed a lot of work,” says Jen. “We wanted to bring it back to life.”

So, one of their projects involved turning a toilet, a small bathroom and a box room into one spacious family bathroom. Adorned with terracotta tiles, Calacatta marble, brass accents and neutral colours, the space is now inviting, light-filled and practical, perfect for both preparing for the busy day ahead and relaxing in homely luxury.

4. Luxurious retreat

After living in their Victorian home for 10 years, events director Hannah Thomson (@homemade_hannah) and her husband decided it was time to convert the loft-level storage space into a relaxing haven. “I liked the idea of using lots of colour and different textures – and really have a bit of fun with it. I wanted to go bold but for the room to feel luxurious,” says Hannah.

Hannah didn’t use an architect but approached East London Lofts to do the conversion work. She enlisted the help of her friend, designer Alexa Page of Studio Page Interiors, to pull together the tiles and the paint colours, while she did the layout, and chose the big items and the lighting.

5. Characterful bathroom

Jess and Jehan lived in the house for more than a year before they began planning the renovation of the bathroom. Retaining the period features and character of the property was a key part of their brief. “We wanted the furniture and fittings to look as though they could have always been here and for the house to be quietly beautiful, which meant using muted paint colours,” says Jess.

The planning stage of the new bathroom design was straightforward and revolved around the positioning of the bath. To find out how they chose the all-important tub, incorporated the loo (which had previously been in a separate WC closet across the landing), patterned tiles, and Victorian finishing touches, click here.
