Customising Your Bathroom Design

Our bathroom designers take the time to understand your lifestyle and vision for the space.

We also consider factors like lighting, storage, and usability, ensuring that your Bathroom looks good while also being practical.

Wall Materials For Bathrooms

The walls play a significant role in the overall look and feel of your new Bathroom.

Tiles

Tiles are the number one choice for bathroom walls, with various designs, colours, and textures. Ceramic, porcelain, and mosaic tiles are particularly popular due to their durability, water resistance, and easy cleaning. Whether you prefer large format tiles for a clean, modern look or intricate mosaics for a more detailed design, tiles are versatile for any bathroom.

Waterproof Wall Panels

For a sleek, low-maintenance alternative to tiles, consider waterproof wall panels. These panels are available in various finishes, from high-gloss to matte, and are quicker and easier to install than tiles.

Paint

Moisture-resistant paint can work well in certain bathroom parts, such as walls around the sink or in smaller spaces. With the right preparation and paint designed for damp environments, we can achieve the right look while maintaining the necessary protection from humidity.

Feature Walls

A feature wall will add some personality to your Bathroom. Materials like natural stone, brick, or even reclaimed wood can create an eye-catching focal point. These materials add texture and warmth, bringing the character to the space.

Flooring Materials For Bathrooms

The right flooring will help create the look of your Bathroom while ensuring safety, comfort, and durability.

Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles

Tiles remain the most popular choice for bathroom floors. Both ceramic and porcelain tiles are durable, water-resistant, and easy to clean. With a vast range of colours, shapes, patterns, and finishes available, they work with any bathroom style.

Vinyl Tiles & Lino

Vinyl and lino flooring are affordable, water-resistant, and available in various designs, including patterns that mimic natural stone or wood. Vinyl and Lino are soft underfoot, easy to clean and will work with most bathroom designs.

Natural Stone (Marble, Slate, Limestone)

Marble, slate, and limestone bring elegance and sophistication to any bathroom. Although more expensive than tiles or vinyl, stone floors are extremely durable and will add a timeless look to your Bathroom that can’t be replicated with other materials.

Engineered Wood

Water-resistant engineered wood is a great choice for those who love the look of wood. This material offers the warmth and texture of natural wood while providing the added benefit of enhanced moisture resistance.

Underfloor Heating

We can also fit Wet and Electric Underfloor Heating, providing a warm floor while heating your Bathroom. Both systems will work with the flooring materials above.

Choosing The Right Bathroom Suite

A bathroom suite typically includes the essential fixtures needed for a fully functional bathroom, such as:

Basin

There are many options, whether you prefer a traditional pedestal basin, a modern wall-mounted sink, or a stylish countertop basin. The basin will complement the Bathroom’s design while providing practical use.

Toilet

From classic close-coupled toilets to modern back-to-wall or wall-hung models, we’ll select a toilet that offers both style and efficiency.

Shower or Bath

Depending on your space and preferences, you can opt for a luxurious freestanding bath, a space-saving shower, or a combination of both. Walk-in showers with glass panels or traditional shower-bath combinations are popular for various bathroom sizes.

We fit a wide range of showers, including power showers for a strong, invigorating experience, eco showers for water efficiency, mixer showers for adjustable temperature control, and thermostatic showers that maintain a consistent water temperature for safety and comfort.

Lighting Your Bathroom

Lighting is one of the most important elements in bathroom design, affecting the space’s usability, look and atmosphere.

Task Lighting

Task lighting is essential for areas around the mirror, vanity, or shower. It provides focused light for shaving, applying makeup, or grooming. LED mirrors with integrated lighting, wall-mounted vanity lights, or recessed downlights are great options for task lighting.

Ambient Lighting

Ambient lighting is the overall light that fills the room. It ensures the Bathroom is sufficiently illuminated without any harsh shadows. Ceiling-mounted lights, such as recessed downlights or a central light fixture, will provide an even spread of light throughout the room.

Accent Lighting

Accent lighting adds depth to your Bathroom, highlighting specific features such as artwork, textured walls, or plants. It’s a great way to draw attention to your design elements and create a more dynamic atmosphere. LED strip lights under cabinets, backlit mirrors, or feature lighting will give your Bathroom a touch of elegance and sophistication.

Storage Solutions For Your Bathroom

Clever storage solutions are essential for tidying and organising your Bathroom, especially in smaller spaces. Our Bathrooms balance aesthetics and practicality with storage options that blend seamlessly into the design.

Vanity Units With Built-In Storage

Vanity units are a popular choice for adding storage and style to your Bathroom. These units combine a basin with built-in cupboards or drawers, offering plenty of space for toiletries, towels, and cleaning supplies. Available in various sizes and finishes, vanity units work in bathrooms of all sizes.

Floating Shelves & Cabinets

Floating shelves or cabinets provide storage without wasting valuable floor space, creating a lighter, airier atmosphere. Floating units also make it easier to clean the floor, as they allow you to access every corner of the room.

Over-the-Door Storage

Over-the-door storage solutions help make the most of every inch. Hooks or racks on the back of doors are perfect for towels, robes, or even small toiletry baskets. It’s a simple yet effective way to add storage without compromising space.

Heated Towel Rails

Heated towel rails provide a convenient place to store towels while keeping them warm and dry. They also heat your Bathroom and are a great alternative to standard radiators.
