Master Bath in a recent renovation by Northwest Heritage Renovations

A more bold approach was taken with the color scheme for the Pool Bath. The oversized subway tiles in four colors - mango, breeze, estuary and sea grass- is the focal point of the bathroom while the smaller scale mosaic flooring offsets it nicely in Tessera glass. Traditional elements were used to keep with the style of the home: the classic white of the cabinetry, countertop and sink, the simplicity of the circular mirror and the single light wall sconces complete the look.

“Milne’s meticulous eye for detail elevated this master suite to a finely-tuned alchemy of balanced design. It shows that you can use dark and dramatic pieces from our carbon fibre collection and still achieve the restful bathroom sanctuary that is at the top of clients’ wish lists.” Miles Hartwell, Co-founder, Splinter Works Ltd When collaborations work they are greater than the sum of their parts, and this was certainly the case in this project. I was able to respond to Splinter Works’ designs by weaving in natural materials, that perhaps weren’t the obvious choice, but they ground the high-tech materials and soften the look. It was important to achieve a dialog between the bedroom and bathroom areas, so the graphic black curved lines of the bathroom fittings were countered by soft pink calamine and brushed gold accents. We introduced subtle repetitions of form through the circular black mirrors, and the black tub filler. For the first time Splinter Works created a special finish for the Hammock bath and basins, a lacquered matte black surface. The suffused light that reflects off the unpolished surface lends to the serene air of warmth and tranquility. Walking through to the master bedroom, bespoke Splinter Works doors slide open with bespoke handles that were etched to echo the shapes in the striking marbleised wallpaper above the bed. In the bedroom, specially commissioned furniture makes the best use of space with recessed cabinets around the bed and a wardrobe that banks the wall to provide as much storage as possible. For the woodwork, a light oak was chosen with a wash of pink calamine, with bespoke sculptural handles hand-made in brass. The myriad considered details culminate in a delicate and restful space.

Our aim was to update the Kitchen and Bathrooms in the Brighton Mansion with more contemporary design aspects which had to blend in with the existing classical internal features of the home. The client wanted a bathtub in the master bedroom so we reconfigured and changed the positioning of vanities. We used a marble look porcelain tiles and run them to the ceiling creating visual height. We added a large rain head in the shower and a hand held shower for the clients husband and wife. Large top mounted Villeroy and Boche wash basins sat on a dark brown reconstituted stone with the vanity high glossed in a coffee colour. The powder room was one room that we went a little crazy on taking into consideration we wanted to a wow factor for guests. We used mirror splash back behind the toilet and used a silver leaf and cork wallpaper on the walls, we also added a small wash basin and placed a large beveled mirror above with a couple of rows of brass coloured glass mosaics. Guest bathroom was also given a contemporary look as was the kitchen with lots of internal Blum drawer features for load of utensil space. The client wanted to keep existing furniture so we changed some lounge suites and lighting in order to work in with their pieces.

The Victoria design captures a classic twist on the decorative arts. This beautifully hand painted wash basin captures the ornate influences of Art Nouveau. This wash basin has been molded by hand using a potter’s wheel and hand painted by Artisans using ceramic pigments and a transparent matte glaze. All materials are lead-free. Each wash basin is baked at high temperatures, which guarantees the highest quality and extreme hardness of the ceramic.

Classically elegant, light-reflecting pieces and tiles in bold Mediterranean hues create a truly unique scheme. Set in south-west London this stunning 5 bedroom Victorian terrace features a Mediterranean-inspired family bathroom creating a relaxing, calming haven in which the family can completely relax and was published in the October 2015 issue of Homes & Gardens, Dream Bathrooms. When the property was purchased 5 years ago, the owners wanted to redesign the master ensuite and create more space so that all the family members could use. The owners were able to double the size of the room and created sufficient space to include a walk-in shower that features Drummond’s elegant Dalby Shower with curved pipe and a 300mm rose in Nickel finish “We chose these classic-style fittings from Drummonds because they are so glamorous. They are luxurious, beautiful made and built to last” says the owner. The striking Tay bath tub with its gleaming polished finish and a plunger waste is set against a wall paneled in antique mirror from Rupert Bevan Furniture & Interiors, all of which helps to reflect the light that streams in through the windows in the roof making the room feel even bigger. The double Crake basin with its chunky storage shelf and the beautiful Atlantic Grey marble comes in complete contrast with the beautiful Mediterranean floor tiles in sea blues and greens from Rustico Tile & Stone. The Brora high level WC suite along with the wall mounted towel rail and the bathroom accessories add even more unique touches to the bathroom. Photography by Darren Chung
