Project Description
The theme for this bathroom is Tutti Frutti! Although this home is largely cottage-style, the owners are young at heart and stylish, and enjoy travelling to the Mediterranean. The guest bathroom was unfinished from the original build and was in need of smartening up. An Italian Terrazzo-style tile with blue and tan fleck brings colour and interest to the space, while the polished white background provides the desired smartening up. Using modern matte black fixtures and fittings finished this terrazzo bathroom nicely.
There was also a construction element to this bathroom renovation as the clients decided to make this an en suite for their main guest bedroom. To do this a new doorway was created in the side wall and the landing door blocked up. So that the new door didn't open onto the toilet this was switched with the sink, so the sink takes centre stage. The door change also allowed us to move the towel rail along the wall so it is easier to access.
The shower stayed in the same position as this maximised the height and space for showering. A templated glass panel with door was installed with black fittings.
One of my favourite details of this terrazzo bathroom is the built out wall section. For functional purposes it gives added head height at the sink - but it also allows for a handy shelf to run the length of the room, and see how it continues right into the shower cubicle with a lit recess for toiletries. Bellissimo!
A 2-drawer vanity provides plenty of storage and choosing the wood effect for the drawers picked up the tan in the tiles. Consequently, the other colour featured in the tiles - the blue - is reflected in the Amtico floor tiles. This flooring gives a modern look and purposefully does not replicate the wood flooring which is found elsewhere in the house.
Both the clients and myself are so pleased with how this bathroom turned out. It's ready for use by family and friends and has transformed a disused space into a stylish, modern bathroom with renewed purpose.
