WHAT WERE SOME OF THE OBSTACLES YOU FACED WITH THIS PROJECT? Our main objective with this project was to refresh and update the room. The bathroom was 20+ years old and in need of both a practical and an aesthetic overhaul. We were quite happy with the layout of the room, so in that sense we weren’t looking to reconfigure the space, it was more a case of refreshing and redesigning the existing layout. This was certainly of some comfort to us as we were very much newbies to renovations of any kind! Shower system: Nuie Bathrooms, Complete Shower Set, Square Heated Towel Rail: Nuie Bathrooms, Piazza Flat Panel Heated Towel Rail Tiles: Tile Choice, Naples Beige Porcelain Floor & Wall Tiles One literal object we were hoping to conquer was a column, originally positioned between the sink and the toilet. Fully tiled, it was difficult to know what exactly might be behind it, although the plumber suspected it was the waste pipe. He informed us that it should be possible to get rid of it, cut the pipe down to a more discreet level and hide it within a new sink/toilet unit. But it was a risk, as he couldn’t be certain what was lurking within the column. Luckily his guess was spot on as it was indeed the waste pipe. Another issue we faced once work began was that once the tiles came up, the floor was unfortunately almost completely rotten. So the timber needed replacing, which we had to just put down to being one of those things! DID YOU HAVE A CERTAIN DESIGN OR LOOK IN MIND? In some sense yes. I knew the type of look I was hoping to find in terms of the tiles. And luckily Tile Choice had such a wide range that we were able to find something that we loved very quickly. We wanted to fully tile the room as we intended for the space to be a practical family bathroom, and therefore we needed it to be easy to clean! So we were after a tile that was practical but stylish for both floors and walls. I was seeking a beige porcelain tile that had a sort of rustic natural stone look to it, while also bringing a warm tone to the room and so the Naples Beige range of wall and floor tiles ticked every box for us! They sent us a full sized tile sample which was great for us to get a feel as to whether it worked for the room, and there was even a feature on the website where you could upload a photo of your room, and then preview how the tile visualises, which was handy for us to do before we committed. Vanity unit: Nuie Bathrooms, Hudson Reed Fusion Vanity Unit I was keen for there to be a monochrome theme in terms of some of the bathroom features. We are lucky with the amount of light that comes into the bathroom. Despite the room being north-facing, the windows are so large they’re almost their own feature wall. So we knew we could afford to be a little bold and include a few splashes of black and grey in the 28 | www.minervamagazines.co.uk
