This en-suite wet room style shower room was perfectly designed for what looked like such a small space before. The brick wall goes so well with the Hudson Reed Black Frame Wetroom Screen with it's stunning black grid pattern. The Lusso Stone white vanity unit fits comfortably within the space with its strong matt black basin tap. With all these touches combined it truly brings this shower room together beautifully.

From little things, big things grow. This project originated with a request for a custom sofa. It evolved into decorating and furnishing the entire lower floor of an urban apartment. The distinctive building featured industrial origins and exposed metal framed ceilings. Part of our brief was to address the unfinished look of the ceiling, while retaining the soaring height. The solution was to box out the trimmers between each beam, strengthening the visual impact of the ceiling without detracting from the industrial look or ceiling height. We also enclosed the void space under the stairs to create valuable storage and completed a full repaint to round out the building works. A textured stone paint in a contrasting colour was applied to the external brick walls to soften the industrial vibe. Floor rugs and window treatments added layers of texture and visual warmth. Custom designed bookshelves were created to fill the double height wall in the lounge room. With the success of the living areas, a kitchen renovation closely followed, with a brief to modernise and consider functionality. Keeping the same footprint, we extended the breakfast bar slightly and exchanged cupboards for drawers to increase storage capacity and ease of access. During the kitchen refurbishment, the scope was again extended to include a redesign of the bathrooms, laundry and powder room.

Bathroom renovation, design from Chelsea Simpson from Indigo Interior Design: A hotel inspired ensuite was the brief with an industrial yet sophisticated edge. Large format lappato porcelain tiles inspired by natural stone laid to the ceiling to inherit a luxurious feel. Black accented tapware, basin, shower frame, edge trims and fittings and fixtures provided a strong accent and feature to the space. The clients were after a low maintenance design, with the introduction of a pre-moulded, Italian made, solid surface black shower base providing a seamless integration with the floor and wall to accommodate showering with ease, a tiled seat was also carefully considered within the shower design. A thoughtfully designed space with ample storage provided with a black vanity, in-built shaving cabinet, built in niche to shower and two double towel rails. Although the space is bold with character it inherits a timeless colour palette which will stand the test of time for many years to come."
