grime within them, and as such whenever you drew a
bath you would notice all sorts of dirt seep out. That
and the fact that there was barely any enamel left
meant that we pretty much had never taken a bath
since moving into the property!
We knew we wanted a bathtub that stretched the
entire width of the room, but we also decided (while
using the 3D design tool), that an ‘L-shaped’ bath
suited the layout of the room best. Our bathroom is
not the largest of rooms, and this shape of tub would
room. I had fallen in love with a shower set
in the Nuie Bathrooms brochure that was
available in matt black, and so we decided
to continue the matt black theme and pair
it with matching matt black taps, vanity unit
handles, shower screen finishes and flush
button, as well as a anthracite coloured
heated towel rail and vanity unit. We felt that,
combined, they tied together very nicely,
and when combined with the Naples Beige
tiles, created the right amount of warmth and
ambience.
We knew that we wanted a vanity unit to
stretch across the area where the existing
sink and toilet lay. All being well, with
the column removed, this unit could sit
comfortably in the space, and therefore
encapsulate the cistern of the toilet. So we
just needed to find a design that suited us.
Nuie Bathrooms had us covered. They had a
range of bathroom furniture that really fitted
with our vision. But something we found
incredibly useful was their online interactive
3D design tool. It was invaluable during the
design process and was so easy to use! All
that was required of us was to input our room
dimensions, and then we were free to browse
their entire catalogue of products and styles.
It really brought the project to life for us and
quite quickly we found a vanity unit that
worked both in terms of size but also style.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY WAS
THE BIGGEST FOCUS AREA
FOR YOU WHEN IT CAME TO
REMODELLING?
We of course wanted to completely refresh
the room, but if I had to choose, then I
would say the bath was the main focus.
We are looking to start a family in the not
so distant future, and with this room being
the only bathroom in the house, a new fully
functioning bathtub was extremely important
to us. Our previous bath was a crescent
shaped jacuzzi-style tub. The air jets had
never worked since moving into the house,
and they were always a pain to clean. We
found that no matter how much you doused
them in bleach, you never got rid of all the
