Planning the layout
The bath, shower and vanity were positioned to create practical zones without restricting movement through the room.
A frameless shower screen keeps sight lines open and allows natural light to travel across the whole bathroom.

A calm bathroom for everyday family use
The previous bathroom no longer provided the comfort, storage or practical layout required for daily family use. The objective was to create a calm contemporary bathroom while respecting the scale and character of the Victorian property.
The completed design combines a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, floating oak vanity, practical concealed storage, warm stone surfaces, matt black fittings, an illuminated mirror, layered lighting and a restrained natural colour palette.

- Keep the design visually calm
- Make the room suitable for everyday use
Before the renovation
The design challenge
The client wanted the bathroom to feel warm, uncluttered and relaxing without becoming impractical. That meant fitting a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower without crowding the room, and preserving daylight from the window.
The design also had to maintain comfortable circulation, coordinate water services, lighting and storage, use large-format surfaces without making the room feel cold, and balance contemporary fittings with the Victorian property.
Plan and visualise
Visualising the bathroom before installation
Before installation began, the layout, materials and lighting direction were visualised so the client could understand how the completed bathroom would look and how each part of the space would work.
This allowed the client to review the bath and shower positions, vanity dimensions, storage arrangement, tile colour and scale, tap and fitting finishes, mirror size, lighting placement and overall visual balance. A visualisation is a design aid and is not an exact contractual representation of the finished bathroom.

Bath and shower area
The freestanding bath creates a calm focal point near the window, while the walk-in shower provides comfortable everyday use.
A recessed niche keeps products organised without adding bulky storage.
Vanity and storage
The floating oak vanity brings warmth to the room and provides practical, concealed storage in deep drawers.
Its wall-mounted design keeps more floor visible, helping the bathroom feel lighter and less crowded.
Materials, fittings and lighting
A restrained, natural palette
Warm stone surfaces, natural oak, white sanitaryware and matt black fittings are lifted by soft backlighting and daylight from the window. The limited palette creates consistency and makes the room easier to maintain visually.

The outcome
The completed result
