4. Tub transformation

When this clawfoot bath was first purchased, it was burgundy with gold feet. It was re-imagined by painting the exterior with two coats of oil-based enamel, with shiny silver for the feet.

5. Beautiful and functional

This luxurious freestanding tub, an Ebay find, is conveniently positioned just a few steps from a wide walk-in wardrobe. A wall of mosaic Calacutta tiles from Marble & Ceramic Corp lends a subtle shimmer and contrasts with the matt cabinetry painted in Dulux Domino.

This freestanding Kado ‘Lure’ oval bath from Reece is framed by the room’s expansive picture window and chic white plantation shutters. Positioned to take in the room’s breathtaking country views, the luxurious tub is paired with a sculptural Phoenix ‘Kubus’ floor-mounted bath mixer.
