'Smoke and mirrors' - tucked away under the stairs is this smart loo with the 'kitchen worktop' oak treads and risers exposed. Under shelf lighting and mirrors right down to the floor (you can see my reflection) add interest along with the hardwood pebbles from a Russian street artisan on Charles Bridge in Prague.

The family bathroom is quite traditional in style, with Lefroy Brooks fitments, polished marble counters, and oak parquet flooring. Although small in area, mirrored panelling behind the bath, a backlit medicine cabinet, and a decorative niche help increase the illusion of space. Photography: Bruce Hemming
