One of my favourite spaces in this home is the principal bathroom. Rather than relying on wall-to-wall marble, we've layered hand-applied wall finishes, antique brass sanitary ware and handcrafted zellige tiles to create a space that feels timeless, characterful and full of depth. It's a wonderful example of how true luxury often comes from thoughtful details rather than excess.

This video details a \"back to brick\" renovation of a Notting Hill apartment for a young family. The design blends Art Deco influences with contemporary luxury, focusing on maximizing natural light and storage. Through strategic spatial planning and a high-end material palette, the project transforms a narrow layout into a sophisticated, multifunctional family residence.
And welcome back to the channel. Today I'm joining you from our Notting Hill apartment
project and I'm so excited to show you around. This was a complete back to brick project.
We totally renovated the entire project, taking out all the internal walls and I can't wait
to show you around.
This apartment belongs to a young family from the Emirates. It's their summer residence
and they really wanted to create a cosy but luxurious place for them to hang out as a
family. Top of their wishlist in their brief was to have as much natural light as possible.
It's quite a dark apartment in spaces, so we've worked really hard to maximise light
and also do some very clever lighting design. Storage was also key, so if we start off in
the entrance hall, this was a massive transformation because previously this wall continued across
here and blocked out this window. It was a little shower room and it really didn't give
you a luxurious feel as you entered. We wanted to create a much bigger feeling of space as
you come into the apartment, so we've designed some joinery for practicality, somewhere you
can put all your coats and shoes. Underneath you've got storage for a yo-yo pram and then
you've got this lovely seating area with a faux leather seat upholstery, so it's really
practical and it not only gives you somewhere to take off your shoes, but it also gives
this really inviting feel into the hall. This vignette opposite the bench is a really good
example of no matter how small your entrance hall, you can always create a little moment
with a floating console or here we've got a wall-mounted console and a big mirror above.
This is key for creating a really grand first impression. It's not about storage but it's
more about creating that luxury feel as you enter into the apartment.
In terms of the hard finishes, we really wanted to create a luxurious feel but we also wanted
it to be hard-wearing. We've gone for a stone floor and to make it as cost-effective as
possible we've actually cut this from ready-made tiles. These come in 60 by 60 centimetres
and what we've got is in the middle a white emperor stone and then to really elevate it
we've done a border in blue molyanos. Again, these were cut down from 60 by 60 tiles and
then just to add another luxury detail is we've done a bronze trim in between the two
and it gives that illusion that these have been cut from slab. It looks really elevated
but like I said, it's a lot more cost-effective. For the walls, we always like to go for a
textural contrast, so this is a honed finish on the floor but where we've got low-level
lighting it catches the light and gives it a little bit of a sheen, so we wanted to go
for a very matte finish on the wall. This is called drag plaster, it creates this really
lovely earthy effect, lots of lovely texture, it almost feels quite milky and earthy and
I think it's really important that when you're designing a room you don't want to have all
the same textures, so if your floor has a sheen, go much more matte on your walls.
The entrance hall is very long and narrow and there's only one window in here, so lighting
was a really key consideration. We worked with John Cullen for the lighting design and
worked really collaboratively. You'll see there's lots of different levels of light,
from the wall lights on the wall that give you some beautiful decorative lighting, low-level
lighting in the skirtings, up-lighters in key architectural areas such as the arches
and doorways, and then spotlights in the ceiling. Now one thing to say about spotlights in the
ceiling is you'll notice here that none of them are centralised, they're all off-centre
and it depends on what we want to illuminate, so right here for example, we've got a spotlight
that's directional, that goes onto the painting, whereas further down the corridor we've got
spotlights that are off to the right and they're all about illuminating the doors on the joinery.
One thing to note if you're designing a property in any city is that you cannot put in enough
storage, so we made the most of every inch of space in this apartment by lining the whole
back of this hall with storage cupboards, so here we've got storage cupboard for shoes
and later on there's storage for M&E and suitcases.
One of my favourite features in this entrance hall is these archways that we introduced
that are timber-lined, they work so well because they echo the architecture which is Art Deco,
but they also work well at breaking up this long narrow space and create these sort of
mini room sets, visually the space feels wider and less long.
Off the entrance hall we installed these glazed pocket doors with a liquid metal bronze, it
was a great way to separate the main living and dining space from the entrance hall while
still giving you plenty of floor space and circulation.
Whenever we're designing a room we always start with the interior architecture, it's
really the backdrop for any room, so in here we really wanted to add some features, previously
it was just a white box with nothing interesting.
We started with the ceilings, to comply with fire regulations we actually had to drop the
ceilings throughout this entire property for two reasons, not only to be able to put lighting
into the ceiling but also to give it its own fire retardant barrier.
Now that really is the last thing you want to do when you've got quite low ceilings to
start, so to counteract that what we did here was we created this coffer ceiling where the
ceiling goes up slightly and it allowed us to put an LED strip around the perimeter and
it really draws your eye up as well as giving it a slightly bigger sense of grandeur.
To elevate that further we then added moulding onto the ceiling with some small rosettes
and that again just gives it a much more traditional, classical feel.
We then took the mouldings down onto the walls as well, by adding some moulding onto the
walls it gives that illusion of panelling, again a much more classical feel and a beautiful
backdrop for all the furnishings.
Where this space is both the dining room and living room we really wanted to keep it open
but give each area its own zoning, now these screens were the perfect way to do it, these
are from our collection with SWD and what's great about them is that it gives the room
its separation while still allowing you to look through so it doesn't feel more enclosed,
it doesn't feel darker or smaller.
I particularly love these, how they've got these glass baubles with the little bubbles
in them and this beautiful antique brass bead which has got a hammered texture, really adds
another layer of luxury.
For the flooring we've gone for a mixed approach, so we've got these really light oak timber
boards that go around the perimeter of the room and then we've done an integrated rug
carpet.
Now there's two benefits to doing this, number one you're cutting down a material so you're
not got wood that goes all the way under the rug but also in a room where it's quite contained
like this and the furniture may be half on half off the rug it's much better with the
level so you don't get the sofa hanging off the back of the rug, equally where we've got
two pieces of carpet in quick succession this would be quite a trip hazard if these were
just traditional rugs but having them integrated with the bronze trim makes everything seamless.
For me this is one of the smartest pieces of joinery we've designed, not only do I love
all the finishes with the liquid metal, kind of echoes back the crittle style to the doors
that we walked through, I love the antique mirror which reflects the light and gives
a sense of more space but this is really clever because it actually hides the air conditioning
condenser and then below we've got some additional storage for crockery.
For the table I wanted to introduce some soft curves into the space, because this is quite
a small space it really helps with the circulation and this is my favourite shape to do, it's
a rectangle but with rounded edges so you get all the benefits of a rectangular table
where all the place settings sit really nicely but this adds some nice softness and then
we've introduced that onto the dining chairs as well with these beautiful scalloped backs
and we've gone for a combination of two materials with a much more hard wearing darker material
on the seats and then on the back we've gone for a beautiful embroidered fabric.
This interior throughout is a real blend of classic and contemporary so above the dining
table we've gone for a much more classical chandelier and I love how this really brings
some glamour into the space.
In the corner we've added a plinth, this is from our loom collection and I love it in
a slightly darker stain and this is a really beautiful opportunity to have fresh flowers
but when the client's not in residence we've got some faux eucalyptus so it always looks
beautiful.
And then lastly in this corner we've gone for a bar trolley, this is perfect for our
clients because they love buffet style dining and it gives you a bit of extra surface area
to lay out all your dishes.
For the window treatments we've gone for a fabric from Andrew Martin, this is one of
my designs and then we've done this brush fringe on the leading edge which adds some
beautiful texture and colour.
This living room is a multifunctional space, the family love to socialise but they also
love to relax and watch movies so we've gone for an oversized TV.
To make it feel less dominant in the space we've incorporated it into a beautiful piece
of joinery, firstly it's got this chimney breast style joinery which we've covered in
a pitted plaster and it has a pearlescent almost gold like colour to it which works
so well with the furnishings.
Either side we've got these shelving units and these are actually removable because we
had to cater for all the M&E so these can literally clip off and behind this, this back
panel is hinged, it can open and you can access all the air conditioning.
At the bottom we've got plenty of storage for all the Playstations and kids toys and
I really love how well the timber works with these grove handles from our R. MacMartin
collection.
The clients love to entertain and so they wanted to have as much seating as possible
and this was a bit of a challenge because it's not the biggest room.
How we overcame this was we mixed in lots of different styles of seating, so here you
can see we've got these low level benches, these are from our Loom collection and these
work perfectly in front of the TV because it doesn't hinder the view and then over on
this side of the room we've gone for a really oversized modular sofa.
This one tapers across and it has the added benefit that it again zones the living area
from the dining space.
On the opposite side we've gone for this swivel chair which I absolutely love, it's the perfect
space to sit and read a book, you've got a little floor lamp next to it.
We've upholstered this in a performance velvet that's this beautiful rust colour that really
picks out those accents around the rest of the room.
And then finally we've gone for a third fabric on the second sofa.
This one again is a really practical choice because it's got this mottled finish where
it's not just one solid colour, if you do spill anything on it it's easy to clean but
also it disguises any stains and I love this one because it's got these tapered arms, again
a really elegant form where it sort of expands out, so if you do want to lean on it you can
put your elbow there but at the front it looks really slim and elegant.
In the middle of the room we've gone for a marble oval coffee table, it works really
well with the circulation and then if they are having gatherings we've added some round
ottomans that they can pull out for additional seating.
Now before we move on to the rest of the apartment I just wanted to take a moment for the artwork.
What I love about this room is we've mixed so many different styles and I think it's
really effective.
Starting on this wall we've gone for a gallery style and all the pieces are hung from chains
which gives it a lovely heritage design.
These were all curated of photographs and old drawings and paintings of some of our
clients favourite landmarks across London.
Opposite we commissioned an abstract modern oil painting which is framed in a traditional
frame and then finally in the dining room we've got a limited edition Fremantle art
piece, this is the oak leaves and it's in a beautiful oak frame.
Across the hallway opposite the living room and dining room we have this self-contained
kitchen.
As you can see it's not the biggest space and so we've really planned it down to the
millimetre to make the absolute most of the space we had available.
Top of our clients brief was she really wanted somewhere where she could eat in the kitchen,
she's got a young family and so we've placed this central island but because there's not
a huge amount of circulation space we had to really carefully select the bar stools
ensuring they could completely tuck under so they wouldn't get in the way whilst you
were cooking.
For the materials in this kitchen we wanted to keep it luxurious but practical so with
the worktop we've gone for a neolith which is a sintered stone, effectively it's like
a porcelain with a layer of glass so you can't stain it and it's a really good choice if
you've got young children.
On the cabinetry we've mixed up different materials so we've gone for a white wash on
the oak veneer, this is a signature of ours and I really love it because it's a great
way of using a lighter colour without necessarily going for a painted finish on MDF that's much
more susceptible to dents and scratches, here you've got the lovely texture of the grain
that still comes through but it's nice and bright.
We've then combined that with this much warmer oak tone, I really love these sort of warmer
tones and it's a definite trend for 2026 and the coming years.
The style of joinery is in frame which is a very traditional look but then we've paired
it back with a flat panel so it gives a really nice hybrid of the two.
Above we've got these glazed cabinets, now the reason we've gone for glazed cabinets
here is it's not always the most practical choice but here this is the first thing you
see as you enter into the kitchen and rather than having solid doors which would make the
room feel smaller, we've got these ones with this reeded glazing and by having the lighting
inside it really draws your eye in and makes the room feel more spacious.
You've got to be really careful with what you're going to put in those so when you're
in the stage of planning the layout of your kitchen, think about what you're going to
store there.
Here we knew that we were just going to store white crockery and so it would still look
aesthetically pleasing but if you want something like a food pantry where there's going to
be lots of different colours and labels, this is not the right option.
For the cooker we've clad the extractor in the neolith which again I think makes a really
lovely design statement and creates a focal point here.
For the appliances throughout we've gone top of the range with a Gaggenau hob and also
microwave oven combi in the oven below.
For the fridge freezer, especially in smaller kitchens, I like to go for integrated appliances
where possible.
So this is an integrated fridge at the top and how modern and luxury does that look?
And then below we've got a drawer freezer which again is a really good use of space,
you can access everything really easily.
In the sink area we purposely wanted to put this by the window so you're getting lots
of natural light.
Right now we've got the blind down but normally with our clients washing up they can open
the blind and look at the view and what I really like about this is that we've extended
the worktop into the window reveal so it gives you lots of space and it gives you the opportunity
to dress it with herbs or ornaments and just generally gives you a nice feeling of spaciousness.
Whenever I've got a sink I always try and locate the bin right next to the sink so if
you're clearing your plates you can put the rubbish in the bin, rinse your plates and
then we've got the dishwasher on the other side.
For the flooring we've continued the same blue molinos and white emperador tile from
the entrance hall, it gives a really nice seamless feel and again it works really beautifully
with all the other finishes that we've got in the room.
Over in this corner is one of my favourite ways of using artwork in a kitchen, it's something
that we've used in lots of projects over the years including our golf project.
This is when we ask the clients what their favourite family recipes are and then we have
a calligrapher write them onto beautiful tea stained paper and then frame them with a beautiful
linen mount and frame, it's such a nice personal touch and makes it instantly feel like home.
For the wall behind I've clad it in the lighter timber that we use in the kitchen, it gives
a really nice cohesive feel but where the kitchen's a small space we're really mindful
that all the hard finishes that we use in the walls are wipeable and practical.
The other benefit that it has is that it also disguises this sliding door that leads through
to the hidden utility room.
Now this space we actually managed to claim back, we did all the paperwork for the renovation
and during the licence to alter we noticed that a lot of the other neighbouring properties
had this as a boiler cupboard converted into a utility room and so we applied for a licence
to change this and the brilliant thing about this is it allows you to have that separation
between your washing machine and tumble dryer and the rest of the kitchen.
Again this space works really hard and we've continued the same materials through, the
door is there so that if the washing machines and tumble dryers are in use you can separate
it but when they're not in use we've clad them in the same timber, same level of joinery
that we've got in the kitchen and here you can see they're hidden behind this pocket
door.
Now the important thing is, and our client's aware of this, is that you can't have the
door on when the washing machine and tumble dryer are in use which is why we've done the
pocket door so it can fold away neatly but when you finish your laundry you can close
that back and it just blends perfectly into the kitchen.
Small spaces can often be the most challenging to design but actually I really thrive on
that challenge and I love making the most of them.
In here I've shared a few of the tips of how we've made this space feel bigger and work
harder but if you're interested in knowing all of our tips and tricks on how we design
kitchens check out our Sophie Patton Academy, I'll put the link in the description box.
The primary bedroom is located towards the back of the apartment and we really wanted
to give it a sense of serenity and privacy.
How we did that with the space planning was adding this wall was a real key feature because
it creates this archway and having these nib walls gives a slightly delayed reveal to the
bed area.
I never like walking straight into the bed in a primary bedroom.
The other added benefit is that it creates a sort of dressing room enclosure so we've
got some additional wardrobes over here, I've got a beautiful whitewashed oak that's similar
to other woodwork we've done around the apartment and then we've lined it with this beautiful
silk wallpaper that gives a lot of texture and above in the wardrobes here and also in
the bedroom area we've got this grill that disguises the outlet for the air conditioning.
Towards the end of the lobby area we have a dressing table area and for me this is the
perfect location because not only is it in front of the window where you're getting all
that natural light but I always like to think about what is the first thing you're going
to see when you enter a room and in this case it's this table that kind of doubles up as
a console as well as a dressing table and creates a really lovely moment as you first
enter.
As you walk into the bedroom area you've got a whole bank of wardrobes so there's plenty
of storage and then on the rest of the walls we wanted to really elevate it and make it
feel as luxurious as possible so we've gone for moulding panels on the walls and within
the panels themselves we've put this silk wallpaper which is Branches in the Breeze
by Frimental and it's this beautiful soft green colour called Avium which I just think
works so well in this bedroom it's got a really calming presence.
In front of the panels we've done this huge oversized headboard I really like how it extends
beyond the bedside tables and rather than doing the frame in wood we've actually wrapped
the frame in a fabric so it adds another layer of softness and luxury and then you've
got a contrast fabric in the middle this is one of my favourite fabrics by De La Cogna.
Dressing the bed we've just picked up some of the accent colours with three cushions
I don't tend to like to do more than three cushions because I always think where are
you going to put these when you're getting in bed at night and for the bedspread itself
we've gone for a really thin one so again everything can just go on the bench at the
end of the night you don't have to worry about putting them away in cupboards.
I always like to put a bench or a sofa at the end of the bed for me it feels a lot more
finished I don't like to just look at the end of the bed with the duvet hanging down
where we were limited on space here we've gone for a really slim bench this is much
smaller than we'd usually go for but it works so well not only aesthetically but as I said
earlier it's somewhere to put your cushions and your throw at night I really love the
scallop dip design where it goes down it just adds another soft curve and looks beautiful.
The bedside tables these are one of our designs that we designed with loom I've normally done
them with the three drawers but I really love how here we've got the open section at the
top so this is where you can put some of your books or a little basket or box and then we've
dressed it with a tissue box this is from Addison Ross another photo frame from Addison
Ross and this beautiful alabaster table lamp that was custom made for our client.
Previously the primary bathroom was a step up from the bedroom which really gave it a
cramped feel because the ceiling height wasn't great but the great thing about doing a strip
out is that you're able to see all the redundant piping and everything that you can remove
and by doing that we're able to keep it on the same level.
What I love about this room is that as you first walk in you see this beautiful vanity
unit it's got a white crystallised marble top with a beautiful edge profile and then
the vanity itself is from our collection from Parker Howley and we've layered that up with
some handles from our Mac Martin.
Storage is always key so there's lots of storage in the vanity unit itself we've got these
pull out drawers these are great for laundry bins and then above on this side we've managed
to do some integrated storage behind the mirror but unfortunately this is the reality of working
in a period property you never know what you're going to find behind the walls and again it
emphasises that importance of doing a strip out because on this side there ended up being
a water pipe that runs through the entire building there was no way we could have known
about it until we'd done the strip out but what it meant was that whilst we were able
to mimic the same design on the outside we couldn't put storage within it.
For the lighting we've gone for a twin light in between and I really love the traditional
element that it brings into the space.
Next to the vanity unit and under the window we've made the most of all the space by putting
a built in bath we've used the same materials as the vanity unit I love to use the same
materials throughout it creates a sense of cohesion so we've got the white crystallous
marble for the worktop what I really love about this stone is it almost looks like alabaster
it's almost like semi-transparent it's got crystals in it it's one of those things as
the light changes you see different things reveal itself and it's absolutely stunning
in real life the camera doesn't always pick it up.
And then for the bath panel we've gone for a matching timber we actually had our joiner
make this to match the vanity unit and it's got that same reeded detail which I think
looks so elegant.
For the flooring we've gone for a combination of Fjord Bosco for a frame around the middle
section and then in the middle we've done a mosaic and this is something that I really
love to do because it's great for slip rating and because all the grout on the mosaic means
that it's not as slippery as a solid piece of stone but it almost creates the illusion
of like a rug and it echoes back to the flooring that we've got in the rest of the apartment
so in the bedroom we had the carpet inset within the wood and here we've got the mosaic
inset within the stone.
On the walls we've got a perlata finish this is kind of similar to like a lime wash or
a venetian plaster but it's applied by hand it's a paint finish and it gives that beautiful
patina and changes as the light hits it.
Then for the tapware this is all by Samuel Heath and it's in a gorgeous bronze colour
as always I like to match the metal finishes throughout so all the accessories like the
bath rail, the mirror, even the lights, all of them coordinate.
Opposite the bath we've created two cubicles, one for the toilet and one for the shower.
We've done a reeded glass door to the shower itself and I love the finishes that we've
got inside.
We've continued the same flooring and you've got this architrave of the white cristallis
this is one of my favourite things to do is architraves made of stone but then inside
the shower itself we've gone for a zelige creamy coloured tile and I love how this sort
of adds another element and it's quite understated I feel like the days of doing marble everywhere
in bathrooms is over when something is overdone it doesn't feel luxurious anymore whereas
this is a bit more unexpected and a timeless design.
In the toilet we decided not to do a door because we felt like it was going to clash
with the vanity unit but by having it in a cubicle with this little nib wall it does
give a sense of privacy and separation from the rest of the bathroom which I think is
really important and then just to add a little bit more storage we've done these mirrored
cupboards above so there's storage within them for toilet rolls and any extra toiletries.
The bottom section of the wall we've clad in the same marble as the rest of the room
and then in this niche we've just brought those zelige tiles across so it coordinates
from the shower.
I love this bathroom it's one of my favourites and I'm really tempted to replicate this in
my own home.
This is the shared bedroom for the two sons and we really wanted to make it feel playful
but also give it longevity so it will grow with them.
One of my favourite features in here is the canopy style beds that we've done it's a really
simple idea where you've got a panel of fabric that's suspended from chains on poles it's
so effective and I just feel like it gives this really nice sort of tent camping feel
to the room.
For the wardrobes we've gone for a really simple design in the doors this is a tongue
and groove design which works really well for the age that the boys are now but will
transition through their teenage years.
In the last section rather than doing a wardrobe door that would clash with the bedside table
we've left it open with shelves and it's great for having baskets where they could put away
all of their toys.
The wallpaper we had a really good idea of using a striped wallpaper and this is just
an off the shelf wallpaper but rather than having the stripes go vertically we've installed
it sideways so it echoes back to that tongue and groove panelling on the wardrobes and
I just feel like it feels a bit more playful and unexpected.
The furniture is mixed of different styles I really like an eclectic look in kids bedrooms
this chest of drawers has quite a vintage feel but it's new and above we've got a vintage
style photograph of cars because the boys both love cars we've echoed their interest
throughout the artwork.
They love to read so we created these custom shelves which I really like with a scallop
design on the side I might try and introduce this into a collection so I'll let you know
if I do and then underneath just for some additional toy storage we've given them a
basket each for all of their toys and games when they're not playing with them and above
we've lit it with this Porta Romana wall light again it's just a really nice playful touch
rather than just doing LED lighting everywhere we like to mix it up.
On the headboard wall we've gone for these glass wall lights and for me they're really
reminiscent of the moon I feel like they're again they're really playful but sophisticated
at the same time they give a lovely soft glow.
If we're doing twin beds I like to separate them as much as possible to give each person
their own space so rather than going for your standard bedside tables I've gone for
a really slim table on the side of this bed which allows me to do a lot more with the
space in between and here we've put a desk so it doubles up as not just a bedside table
but somewhere they can study do art or drawing.
This bedroom doubles up as both a guest bedroom and also a bedroom for their young daughter
so it had to fit quite sort of varied requirements we wanted to make it feel playful but it wasn't
sophisticated enough for guests.
My favourite thing in here is the wallpaper this is called the Ava design by Frumentale
and very excitingly this is a new collection we're coming out with where it's a printed
design so it makes it a lot more cost effective if it is launched by the time this video comes
out I'll put the link in the description box.
Then to add a little bit more playfulness into the room we've used these shelves by
loom where they can store books and toys for their daughter again it can transition over
time so when she's older it won't necessarily be little fairy tale books but maybe some
photographs and artwork that will be displayed on here.
Over on this side of the bedroom I absolutely love this bureau again we didn't want to have
too much symmetry in here it makes it a lot more usable and flexible so we've got this
bureau where she could do studying or guests can write letters we've got a whole bank of
wardrobes with a reader design which is a little bit more sophisticated and then on
the other side of the bed we've gone for a very slim bedside table that allows us to
have all this floor space on the other side.
For the fabrics we've gone for a very subtle colour palette of green and dusty pink so
starting off on the headboard this is a fabric from Andrew Martin I'll put the link in the
description box then we've got a mix of different prints on the cushions from this really lovely
geometric the greens and then again another herringbone fabric from Andrew Martin the
greens then come back onto the bedspread with a very soft green on this light fabric.
This shared bathroom is used by all the children I'm going to quickly take you through some
of my favourite features that you could use in some of your own bathroom designs for me
I love mixing different materials and different stones so the main focal point here is the
vanity unit here we've used a honed arabescato I much prefer using honed marbles it feels
a lot more sophisticated and tactile this thing combines really well with Carrara so
we've used ready-made tiles on the walls with a pencil edge trim so just half height
tile and then you can paint above and for me that feels a lot warmer than having full
height marble everywhere.
For the floor we've combined a border of white Namibian marble with some herringbone and
Carrara tiles and again like I said in the primary bathroom this is great for a slip
rating and just adds another layer of interest.
We like to use marble quite sparingly in shared bathrooms just because from a budget perspective
it adds a lot of cost but I like to use it not just on the vanity top in other areas
as well so here we've used it in a niche above the loo even though we only had a really small
depth to work with it was still worthwhile doing because you can put things like a diffuser
it's not about practical storage it's more about display and by having an LED strip under
the shelves again it just creates a really lovely soft level of lighting.
We've then doubled that up with a marble skirting around the whole perimeter of the room I really
love the detail of how we've gone around the curved corners and then the marble architrave
around the door just adds so much luxury.
For the shower we've gone for a marble architrave the whole way around this framing again is
something that you want to be using in your projects it's a trend that's here to stay
and just really elevates this whole experience and how it looks and then in here I just wanted
to show you this because this is a challenge that we come up with quite a lot if you have
a bathroom and you're a bit stuck on space and you need to put the shower in front of
a window it's really hard to work out how do you make that work so you've got privacy
but you've also got something that's waterproof what we've done here is a custom shower screen
so you can see the stone goes all the way into the window reveal and it's not the nicest
looking window it's got to be said it's an original window that we couldn't change but
by having these sandblasted glass panels it gives you all the privacy you need but
also stops water from ingressing into there so that's a really good trick to know.
Last but not least is the powder room now this was worth waiting for because I always
love to make a statement with the toilet and whilst it's small it makes up for this in
the amount of luxury that we've squeezed into this tiny little space.
On the walls we have this absolutely stunning wallpaper by Frimental this one is called
grey willow and the colour is tawny this is a lovely soft mint colour and it just feels
so warm and cosy it tones perfectly with the fjord bosco marble this is the same marble
that we used in the primary bathroom so again it's got that cohesive feel for the joinery
we've gone completely custom because the space was so tight so we've got a really compact
vanity unit that's under the floating sink and then we've done half height timber panelling
across the room this was something that was quite important because whilst the client
wanted to have a really luxury wall finish in here she's got young children and she didn't
want it to get damaged over time so this was a great compromise and then above the loo
we've gone for a mirrored cabinet again adding as much storage as we can we've done an integrated
led strip underneath that gives you that lovely soft glow more fjord bosco and then all the
toiletries all the sanitary ware is matching an antique brass finish again it just adds
a little bit of sparkle and then finally we've added these gorgeous wall lights they've got
a reeded design and they match all the rest of the metal finishes and they're the perfect
finishing touch that is a wrap for our Notting Hill project I hope you've enjoyed looking
