Stunning bathroom with a luxe hotel vibe
Style cues
In this spacious bathroom, interior designer Carolyn Burns-McCrave aimed to create a lavish hotel-like retreat, with a glamorous colour scheme and luxurious fittings.

Vanity
Coated in decadent Arcadian Oak veneer and topped with a slab of Caesarstone, the bespoke vanity unit boasts ample under-counter storage despite its sleek and unobtrusive style. “By floating the joinery off the floor I could make the room feel wider,” Carolyn explains.

Palette
Walls bedecked in eye-catching chocolate and taupe mosaic tiles produce a spectacularly intense finish, teamed with simple grey Entiva ‘Casa’ floor tiles, from Volare Concepts, for balance. Arranged horizontally, the large-format tiles help make the rectangular room appear wider. The sculptural curves of the bath, pebble-like basins and graceful swan-neck taps are complemented by the sharp lines of the wall-hung vanity unit, mirror and window.

Bathing zone
A curvaceous Kado ‘Lure’ bath, paired with a Mizu 1500 series wall-mounted spout – both from Reece – deliver a relaxed bathing zone. The ceramic drum stool is a water-friendly and stylish furniture choice, while recessed wall niches for fixtures such as towel rails create an uncluttered effect.

Shower power
Continuing the floor tiles up the walls of the shower provides a soothing contrast against the ‘Mini Mix Storm’ 300mm x 300mm mosaic tiles, found at Perini. A neat rail shower is a practical choice; it can be adjusted to suit users of different heights.
