bathrooms
n this cedar-clad vaulted cloakroom, feature wallpaper is framed by glowing strips of LED lights in a cool white to create an ethereal effect. LED lighting is versatile, especially when hidden in recesses, and can even be used to create different colours of mood lighting – a warm golden glow, or a calm cool blue, for example – that you can change at the touch of a button. Or the lighting can be set to cycle through various colours, depending on the desired mood.
Against this minimalist white cabinetry, coloured LED lighting along the floor and under wall units adds ambience, interest and depth. The best bit? You can change the hue of your multi-coloured system to suit your mood or the occasion. Programmable LED lighting lets you re-style your kitchen at the touch of a button.
This luxurious bathroom was designed by Gregory Phillips Architects as the ultimate ‘room with a view’. When planning this new-build home in the Berkshire countryside, Phillips worked closely with the owners to ensure the family home connected seamlessly with the landscape. The marble-clad whirlpool bath is positioned right in front of the floor-to-ceiling window to maximise the beautiful view. The owners use the bath regularly and love how it makes them feel as if they’re ‘in the landscape’. Phillips has used luxurious natural materials in a muted palette. The clean architectural lines of the Statuario marble-clad walls, sleek stainless steel and frameless glass also serve to focus the attention on the lush countryside. Shelving and bathroom storage are concealed behind a mirrored wall, which reflects the landscape back into the space.
