new master ensuite bathroom - interior design newbury

One of the most satisfying projects must be building or renovating a bathroom. The client had asked for a spacious feel, with touches of luxury.

Dragonfly Home Design has plenty of experience designing and managing this type of home improvement.

Working to a modest budget, this image shows a new master ensuite being constructed, with plasterboard ready to be attached to the studwork.

The floorplan demonstrates how each element of the bathroom was carefully designed to promote comfort, flow and practicality. 

Underfloor heating was installed before tiling, for an even warmth underfoot.

A space saving back-to-wall bath liberated enough floor area to allow for a water-resistant  luxury rug, rather than a bath or shower mat.

Baby-blue and buff coloured limestone mosaic was chosen to break up the large area of grey tiles used throughout.  

This  created an eye-catching vertical  stripe from floor to ceiling in the shower, behind the feature rain-can shower head. 

The  new room was large enough to allow for a walk-in shower with just two glass panels, adding to the airy feel.

Wall mounted taps were suggested as an elegant alternative to deck mounted ones.

Two grey basin cabinets and a toilet unit blend discreetly with the wall tiles, enhancing the open, airy simplicity of the layout.   

Storage for all those bathroom essentials was solved by incorporating two under-sink cupboards into the design.

The finished bathroom includes two mirrors, each one featuring lighting, a demister pad and a charging point for a shaver or electric toothbrush.

 
The integrated LED strips are operated by a sensor tucked under the bottom edge of the glass, allowing them to be switched on or off with a wave of the hand.

The mosaic panel in the shower can be seen reflected in the right hand mirror.  

The  completed bathroom was dressed with moisture-loving plants to soften the hard edges of the tiling.

Eye-catching towels in bold patterns will enliven a monochromatic scheme, or choose a deep dye to add blocks of colour.

Accessories such as pretty vases and candles can be added for the personal touch.
