Nestled away in wooded North London, this Victorian home boasts a beautiful master bathroom, guest bathroom, shower room and cloakroom. Each bathroom has a unique design, yet the four are tied together by the owners’ choices of materials, muted colours and rich, dark wood. Large wooden shutters and light, bright shades of green maximise the light in the master bathroom, where the symmetry of our painted Usk bath is perfectly framed by the large sash window behind. The bath tub stands apart on the wooden flooring, poised with its Classic Bath & Shower mixer & floor fitted waste. The intricate wall tiles by Habibi provide a dramatic contrast to the bright, bold green herringbone tiles in the shower enclosure, where our Carron shower with wall arm in a chrome finish is presented. Accessories like the towel bar and bottle rack were also added in the shower room as practical options. A Morie basin has been mounted in bespoke made cabinetry, the elegant spout of the Barra basin mixer accentuating its deep curves. A large 6-bar towel rail provides a practical solution for ample towels, whilst the small wooden stool adds an antique charm. Although the colours are more muted in the guest bedroom, the charcoal-grey painted Spey dominates the floor space along with the plunger waste and the Classic bath & shower mixer.. The dark grey fireplace and the large wooden shutters along with the subtle watercolour artwork make this bathroom feel light, bright and beautiful. The bespoke under-mounted basin cabinet featuring a Morie and Barra pop up mixer in chrome, is paired with the master bathroom. In the shower room, contrasting tile patterns from Douglas Watson have been used once again to create a dramatic look. The contrast here is subtler than in the master bathroom with pale green checks in the shower enclosure where our Carron concealed shower maximises the beauty of the tiles by being both compact & elegant. Delicate fan-like patterns in a variety of green hues are surrounding our Naver basin with its elegant chrome stand. Our single glass shelf and round mirror are the perfect finishing touches in this beautiful shower room. The downstairs cloakroom is a departure in style featuring striking floor tiles and wooden wall panelling in darker, more masculine hues. The Syre basin is more compact, but is still a statement part of this classic bathroom look. Storage for bathroom items is offered by a single glass shelf and simple towel bar. The Eden has been paired with a dark oak seat, referencing the dark wood flooring used elsewhere in the home. Photo Credit: Anthony Parkinson

This is a very regal powder room, a stark contrast from the dark and depressing bathroom which was here before. We moved this original window from another place in the house to the powder room in order to bring in more light yet still provide the necessary privacy.

Creating a vanity from an antique chest keeps the vintage charm of the home intact.
