‘Our new bathroom is full of details that make life nicer’

When this couple first moved into their house 20 years ago, the bathroom needed replacing almost immediately and they chose a neutral scheme that worked well for family life.

But when the underfloor heating broke down last year it prompted a refresh. ‘After all that time, the space felt a bit tired, and the floor tiles we had originally chosen made it feel dark, even though it’s a bright room. They showed dirt and hair so were hard to keep clean,’ explains the homeowner.

‘Our main criteria for the new bathroom was a practical space with lots of storage, somewhere for a laundry basket and that it used plenty of natural materials.’
