a lack of visible joints means no spaces for dust and dirt to gather. The unit is further made a feature of with a wall-mounted sconce on either side of the mirror which hangs above it. The sconce hardware matches that of the tap and towel rail and each one is fitted with a tall, upward-facing opulent glass pendant light. SMOOTH LINES Another core feature of the room is the seamless floor-standing Carissa bath, which sits in between the two vertical windows. With a smooth, curved design the bath embodies those clean lines and a minimalist style, presenting a modern twist on the traditional free-standing tub. People don’t have as much time to clean these days, so we want clean edges that don’t gather dust. Modern design is all about keeping bathrooms clean. The bath has a practical hose attachment, another convenient feature in what is the children’s bathroom, while the room also includes a walk-in shower

with glass surround. This is fitted with a stylish coloured slate shower tray from Doccia, which creates more of a wet room look, the flat, smooth texture giving the appearance of real stone, while also preventing against leaks. The slate shower trays come in a variety of standard colours. Once the customer picked her floor tiles we colour-matched the shower tray. She wanted a seamless look which complemented the floor tiles and tray so we used ‘Showerwall’, decorative MDF laminate panels which are fitted inside the shower and run from floor to ceiling. The shower in the master ensuite extends wall-to-wall and is fitted with a sliding, level-access door without any bottom. Once more, the shower makes use of a Showerwall rather than tiles, while another comfort-height toilet sits beneath the window. A small heated towel rail runs alongside this. Again, the vanity – a Utopia Roseberry wall-mounted unit in a dove-grey shade – takes centre-stage in the room. With a

20mm white worktop, a countertop bowl and Utopia’s tall Regent traditional tap, the Roseberry is a modern interpretation of the traditional luxury painted timber furniture with cup handles. The sidelights fitted at the ensuite vanity unit are downward-facing this time and come from the Burlington ornate lighting range. The shower room contains more fitted furniture – the vanity unit, WC and a small cupboard are all contained within one piece of furniture, which runs seamlessly along one wall of the room. The shower enclosure has been designed to create a large walk-in area and is fitted with a Mira Sport Air boost Electric Shower. The air boost feature subsequently circulates air to create a more powerful electric shower experience. This is a useful second shower for the family home, as the main bathroom and master ensuite were installed with the Grohe Rainshower systems and use hot water from the pressurised system.
