A Bright, Mediterranean-Inspired Family Bathroom

"Honestly - all of it. We moved in and inherited a bathroom that was fine but just didn’t work for us and our family. We were lucky that the bathroom itself is a great space, the room is big and bright, but somehow the style still felt grey and dull and just not like ‘us’ at all.

This house feels like a forever home for us so we wanted to really push the boat out and create a true dream bathroom where everything was considered, comfortable - and stylish! I’m a total bath girl (you’ll find me in the bath at least five nights a week), so I knew this was a room I really wanted to invest in, and spend lots of time planning and mood-boarding so it was really perfect."

"Definitely the fact that every single detail has been so considered in terms of how we actually use the space and move through the room. Little things like the fact we’ve got two shower heads depending on our needs (for example, I don’t want to wash my hair every day so a rainfall shower isn’t always ideal!), or the towel hook on the inside of the shower so we can quickly and easily grab a towel without getting out.

On the bath, I’ve also added a handheld shower head. I have a toddler and another baby on the way, so needed to consider long term how we’d actually use the bath as a family so this was a must for us.

Speaking of - I’m a busy Mum and in my previous home, cleaning the bathroom was up there with the worst of the chores for me. In this room, I’ve made considered design choices to minimise cleaning time - we don’t have a glass shower screen, the freestanding bath doesn’t have feet so I don’t have to worry about cleaning awkward spaces and the basin sink is integrated (rather than on top of the basin) so it’s quick and easy to wipe down."
