The Brief

A refresh of the master ensuite bathroom was required by our client, returning for their second Hobson’s Choice renovation. They had recently moved into the property and the original bathroom wasn’t providing the functionality or quality of finish they desired.

 

The Design

Master ensuite bathroom calm and cleansing
 

The shape of the bathroom, and the internal characteristics of the property, provided the ingredients to create a challenging layout design. The sloping ceiling, an internal flue from the ground-floor woodburning stove, and the exposed timber architecture.

The puzzle was solved by the inclusion of a dwarf wall behind the bathtub in the centre of the room. It created the space for a large walk-in shower that wasn’t compromised by the sloping ceiling or the flue.

The dwarf wall also provided space to position the thermostatic bath mixer and the inclusion of a sleek exafill mechanism removes the need for a bath spout as it functions as both the overflow and bath filler. The alcove for bathing accessories features textured tiles, creating an eye-catching visual that is reflected in the shower alcove behind.

The exposed timber and brickwork of the Cotswold property add to the style of the space and link the master ensuite to the rest of the home.

The large walk-in shower showcases the quality of our installation team. Flawless tiling and grout lines ensure everything is perfectly aligned down to the accurate detailing around the shower waste trap.

 

The wall-hung ‘his and hers’ vanity unit, finished in brushed walnut, appears to float above the bathroom floor.

This arrangement is both visually appealing and functional. With the furniture, toilet and bidet all raised above the floor, it makes cleaning the tiles an easier task.

The width of the mirror purposely matches that of the vanity, maintaining balance and proportion.
