Wokingham and Bracknell Lifestyle Aug - Sep 2022

utilise the space, while the shower screen
would help create the illusion of a larger
room. Plus, having the bathtub spanning
the full width of the room meant optimum
space for a relaxing soak at the end of a
hectic day.
WHAT STORAGE SOLUTIONS
DOES THE NEW BATHROOM
OFFER?
We wanted to go for a clean look with
the new design, maximizing the feeling of
space as much as possible. Therefore it
was important that the vanity unit offered
a decent amount of storage. The Nuie
Hudson Reed Fusion unit ticked a lot of
boxes for us in this sense, as visually it
offered a sleek, stylish and modern look,
while also featuring two sets of cupboards
for all our toiletries. Since it has been
installed, we have actually found ourselves
looking for bits and pieces to fill the space
(even with the waste pipe hidden within it)!
This ample amount of space has meant that
we don’t need to clutter the windowsill and
bathtub with toiletries, giving the room and
all its gorgeous features a chance to shine.

THE OVERHEAD SHOWER
SYSTEM LOOKS LIKE A BIT OF
A FEATURE IN ITSELF!
It’s beautiful isn’t it? We were really keen to
purchase an overhead shower, but I also
wanted one that had a rinser kit arm also,
to allow for those days when you aren’t
washing your hair. I have always dreamed
of owning one of those showers! And with
it being available in matt black, it really
has established itself as a feature of the
room, as well as tying in beautifully with the
matching monochrome taps below it.
DID YOU OPT FOR ANY TECH
PRODUCTS?
It may of been a bit of an unnecessary
purchase in some people’s minds (including
my husband’s at the time!) but I had always
wanted a heated mirror. I loved the idea
of actually being able to see yourself in a
mirror once you were out of the shower.
Pebble Grey Ltd offered a wide variety of
styles, and I loved the simple black frame
that surrounded this one, as well as the
warm ambient LEDs. I am pleased to say
that once it was installed, my husband
became a complete convert, and now uses
the light feature on it more than the main
bathroom lights! It is has a motion sensor
that makes the mirror contactless to switch
on and off - a nice hygienic feature, as well
as adding to the sleekness of the design.
Our main goal with the refit was to create
a bathroom that felt like an escape, and to
ensure that clutter was kept to a minimum.
And I think we have managed to achieve
this through smart choices that are both
practical, yet provide a sense of clean, chic
style. We couldn’t be happier.
