A few years ago we completed the kitchen renovation on this wonderfully maintained Arts and Crafts home, dating back to the 1930’s. Naturally, we were very pleased to be entrusted with the client’s vision for the renovation of the main bathroom, which was to remain true to its origins, yet encompassing modern touches of today. This was achieved with patterned floor tiles and a pedestal basin. The client selected beautiful tapware from Perrin and Rowe to complement the period. The frameless shower screen, freestanding bath plus the ceramic white wall tile provides an open, bright “feel” we are all looking for in our bathrooms today. Our client also had a passion for Art Deco and personally designed a Shaving Cabinet which Impala created from blackwood veneer. This is a great representation of how Impala working with its clients makes a house a home. Photos: Archetype Photography

Having both a separate bath and shower was important to the client due to having a young family so we specified a freestanding bath and positioned it in the corner of the room to create a feature which also allowed more space for a generous walk in shower.

Inspiration for a large traditional master bathroom in New York with glass-front cabinets, white cabinets, a freestanding tub, a two-piece toilet, stone tile, grey walls, grey floor and a hinged shower door.

The clients wish list consisted of creating a bright, fresh & glamorous master bathroom oasis, that maximized on storage and provided a separate make-up / hair styling nook. The emphasis of the design was based on creating a custom vanity that reflected a glitz & glam flare, while addressing the unusual linear spatial layout. The colour palette incorporated a mixture of carrara marble, white, grey and hints of blush pink. The statement was made through the floral wallpaper backdrop and the custom geometric wall roman shades.

This is an example of a mid-sized modern kids bathroom in Dublin with glass-front cabinets, white cabinets, a freestanding tub, a shower/bathtub combo, white walls, porcelain floors, a wall-mount sink and white floor.

The challenge in this bathroom was the distribution. The space was tight to fit a bath, a walk in shower, two sinks and the toilet. In addition, the large window had to be where it is place since otherwise we would have had overlooking issues. Thus, limiting the choice of movement. A key item to resolve this was the free standing bath and the use of the Crittal panel.

This family bathroom holds atmosphere and warmth created using different textures, ambient and feature lighting. Not only is it beautiful space but also quite functional. The shower hand hose was made long enough for our client to clean the bath area. A glass panel contains the wet-room area and also leaves the length of the room uninterrupted.Thomas Cleary
