Emerald Ensuite

Constructing an ensuite within an existing bedroom presented the challenge of perfecting a footprint that gave some flexibility in layout to work around existing plumbing constraints.

When working with limited space, product knowledge, and, in most cases, compromise is essential.

This room is a fabulous example of fun, yet classic design that oozes character thanks to the attention to detail from the traditional Lefroy Brooks brassware to the fluted glass on the wall light. Warm veining from the floor tiles and vibrant petite wall tiles are brought together by colour drenching the walls, ceiling, and woodwork in the perfect shade of paint. The customer's vision and collection of inspirational pictures have been brought to life in a way that feels personal.

As well as the stunning aesthetics, product selection has ensured the space works harder than meets the eye to improve practicality, such as the mirror featuring a demister pad, the WC being a remote-control smart shower WC, and the shower heads with added easy clean design. The compact quad shower enclosure and opting for a wall–hung basin vanity and WC give more floor area and the feeling of more space.
