The original master bath was old and dated and the tub leaked. We gave them a fresh updated master bath.

At first glance the two compartments of the master bath seemed to make sense. The bathing / toilet area had a sky light that let in fabulous light at all times of the day and night. It contained a tub and a separate shower that were very tiny. In the vanity compartment there was only one sink in a low height cabinet. This bathroom would work fine for one person but was a bit tight for two. The homeowners wanted a great bathroom they both could enjoy. Designer Carol Kornak recommended removing the dividing wall thus opening the space into one light-filled room. The tub was eliminated. In its place is a large walk-in shower with bench covered in fun geometric-patterned tile. The old shower area became a spacious alcove that includes a storage cabinets and make-up area with lighted mirror. The vanity contains two sinks and two mirrored medicine cabinets for both to store their personal items. The tile floor has a custom pattern of porcelain glass tiles.

Vibrant Bathroom in Horsham, West Sussex Glossy, fitted furniture and fantastic tile choices combine within this Horsham bathroom in a vibrant design. The Brief This Horsham client sought our help to replace what was a dated bathroom space with a vibrant and modern design. With a relatively minimal brief of a shower room and other essential inclusions, designer Martin was tasked with conjuring a design to impress this client and fulfil their needs for years to come. Design Elements To make the most of the space in this room designer Martin has placed the shower in the alcove of this room, using an in-swinging door from supplier Crosswater for easy access. A useful niche also features within the shower for showering essentials. This layout meant that there was plenty of space to move around and plenty of floor space to maintain a spacious feel. Special Inclusions To incorporate suitable storage Martin has used wall-to-wall fitted furniture in a White Gloss finish from supplier Mereway. This furniture choice meant a semi-recessed basin and concealed cistern would fit seamlessly into this design, whilst adding useful storage space. A HiB Ambience illuminating mirror has been installed above the furniture area, which is equipped with ambient illuminating and demisting capabilities. Project Highlight Fantastic tile choices are the undoubtable highlight of this project. Vibrant blue herringbone-laid tiles combine nicely with the earthy wall tiles, and the colours of the geometric floor tiles compliment these tile choices further. The End Result The result is a well-thought-out and spacious design, that combines numerous colours to great effect. This project is also a great example of what our design team can achieve in a relatively compact bathroom space.

This Tiny Home has a unique shower structure that points out over the tongue of the tiny house trailer. This provides much more room to the entire bathroom and centers the beautiful shower so that it is what you see looking through the bathroom door. The gorgeous blue tile is hit with natural sunlight from above allowed in to nurture the ferns by way of clear roofing. Yes, there is a skylight in the shower and plants making this shower conveniently located in your bathroom feel like an outdoor shower. It has a large rounded sliding glass door that lets the space feel open and well lit. There is even a frosted sliding pocket door that also lets light pass back and forth. There are built-in shelves to conserve space making the shower, bathroom, and thus the tiny house, feel larger, open and airy.

The homeowners felt their shower was too small, so it was a priority to expand it. The new shower features blue mosaic tile, oil rubbed bronze fixtures, a shower niche for storage and a bench with turquoise tile that matches the rest of the space and provides convenience. The pebble flooring contributes to the spa-like aesthetic of the bathroom.
