Our clients wanted to renovate their 2 bathrooms because they were old and did not provide modern comfort nor were they particularly appealing. The rest of their home was beautifully furnished in a contemporary style and they wanted their bathrooms to reflect a similar style. The two bathrooms were renovated with supplies and materials which were similar in style and colour. 

A contemporary bathroom design often has fixtures that do not have too many embellishments or intricate details. The materials used for the renovation speak for themselves. This was exactly the case for these bathrooms as we used contemporary fixtures from Reece and striking combination of matte dark tiles for the floors and a more neutral palette for the walls. The wooden cabinets also soften this bathroom design by bringing earthiness into the bathroom.

Bathroom Design brief

Contemporary bathroom designs are very popular with most of our clients as they are versatile and can complement most homes. We used large dark tiles for the floor which contrasted well with the neutral colour schemes of the walls and bathtub. We also wanted to add some warmth to the room so we decided to use wooden floating vanities.

Suppliers and Brands used

This bathroom is a perfect example of good fixtures that can transform a space without a change in layout or a very comprehensive design process.

• St Michels
• Metheven

The overall design of the bathroom features a modern contemporary look which complemented beautifully with the rest of the house. The floors feature large 600 by 600 dark tiles which contrasts well with off white 600 by 600 wall tiles. The oak finish floating vanity brings a sense of warmth to the bathroom.

We used similar fixtures and tiles for both the bathrooms so there was a sense of continuity in the overall design of the house.
