En Suite and Bathroom Redesign

A big project for me last year was the Main Bathroom and En Suite redesign for a beautiful old villa. The clients Leigh and Chris were using Davcon Construction and engaged me to help them with the design for the renovation. They had a bit of an idea of what they wanted - greens, blues and black. They were keen on bringing through the joinery that was used in their kitchen refit a few years ago of caramel and black timber and to keep the wooden floors. So it all started from there…

I had started doing renders and drawing up plans so this was a great project to start doing this with. I was loving being able to take an idea and show how it would work through using accurate plans and renders. While the en suite render below is pretty basic, it is to scale so the client can see how the space works.

Once the layout was decided I worked with colours and textures. We settled on the Buddy range of tap ware because it is so beautiful and you are assured of its quality, with all fixtures in black.

Leigh saw these tiles in a Bathroom publication and loved them, so I tracked them down for her and decided we’d use them in the Main Bathroom - completely up one wall and along one wall of the shower. To break up the huge amount of tiled wall Sydaz Joinery, who made the beautiful vanities, built black oak shelves to go along that wall and also on the opposite wall beside the bath. The shower has a tiled shelf wall that carried through Leigh’s tiles and then had an anchor wall of plain carrara tile to match the vanity. The black buddy range was carried through into the shower.

The en suite shower used peacock colour finger tiles up one wall with the same Carrara large tile to offset it on the other wall. Towels hang beside the shower on black heated vertical towel rails.

The same tiled shelf from the Main Bathroom was repeated in the En Suite for that same-same-but-different seamless cohesion.

This is one of my favourite spots. Calming blue on the wall, a dreamy stone bath, beautiful black tap ware and an elegant shelf beside it for putting your favourite bath time treasures - a candle, a little vase of flowers, a glass of wine and your phone on a podcast. Ahhh… bliss!
