The Brief
To create an upstairs bathroom in a Grade II listed, 18th Century Manor House in Art Deco style that was bold, glamorous and romantic, with a strong preference for black and gold colouring.About The Project
'This project for an 18th century manor house was wonderful to work on. My clients had a very clear idea of the design style they had in mind - a beautiful bespoke Art Deco style bathroom with double showers and basins. The space needed to be luxurious and sumptuous, with key bespoke detailing to really make it stand out.
I chose a range of luxurious materials and patterns in the Art Deco style, predominantly focusing on gold and black detailing with additional complementary rich and warm tones of a dark walnut worktop.
Black Star Galaxy granite wall tiles in the shower recess and basin wall made a real statement, along with the detailing border tiles
My design included some key bespoke features including two recess shelf panels in the shower. For these I designed a gold leaf vinyl glass splashback for the two shelf recesses. The centerpiece of the shower was a bespoke design Gatsby Monogram with the client’s initials, also printed onto vinyl on a glass splashback.
Gold bathroom furniture really gave the whole room a luxurious effect; gold wall mounted basin taps, and beautiful traditional gold showers stood out against the black galaxy tiles.
For lighting, in addition to LED recess lights, I chose traditional torchiere wall lamps in Art Deco style. These were positioned either side of an Art Deco fan
mirror which worked beautifully as a centerpiece together.
The finished space worked really well and is a beautifully elegant and luxurious space. The amount of bespoke design and workmanship that was required really makes the shower room stand out as a unique and individual space.'
