With the request of pastel colours which is evident on the floor tiles, copper fittings and hexagonal tiles, this gorgeous bathroom has been updated into a stylish, contemporary space. A solid surface bath and basin gives a modern feel and mirrored panelled cabinets provides confined storage which visually expands the space. A bespoke shower screen meets the ceiling, maintaining clean lines throughout.

This is a SMALL bathroom with a lot of punch! The double sink was painted black on the base to tie into the black accents on the floor. The subway tile was added to protect the space and make it super kid proof, since this is the bathroom closest to the pool! Joe Kwon Photography

Bathrooms by Oldham were engaged by Judith & Frank to redesign their main bathroom and their downstairs powder room. We provided the upstairs bathroom with a new layout creating flow and functionality with a walk in shower. Custom joinery added the much needed storage and an in-wall cistern created more space. In the powder room downstairs we offset a wall hung basin and in-wall cistern to create space in the compact room along with a custom cupboard above to create additional storage. Strip lighting on a sensor brings a soft ambience whilst being practical.

The ground floor in this terraced house had a poor flow and a badly positioned kitchen with limited worktop space. By moving the kitchen to the longer wall on the opposite side of the room, space was gained for a good size and practical kitchen, a dining zone and a nook for the children’s arts & crafts. This tactical plan provided this family more space within the existing footprint and also permitted the installation of the understairs toilet the family was missing. The new handleless kitchen has two contrasting tones, navy and white. The navy units create a frame surrounding the white units to achieve the visual effect of a smaller kitchen, whilst offering plenty of storage up to ceiling height. The work surface has been improved with a longer worktop over the base units and an island finished in calacutta quartz. The full-height units are very functional housing at one end of the kitchen an integrated washing machine, a vented tumble dryer, the boiler and a double oven; and at the other end a practical pull-out larder. A new modern LED pendant light illuminates the island and there is also under-cabinet and plinth lighting. Every inch of space of this modern kitchen was carefully planned. To improve the flood of natural light, a larger skylight was installed. The original wooden exterior doors were replaced for aluminium double glazed bifold doors opening up the space and benefiting the family with outside/inside living. The living room was newly decorated in different tones of grey to highlight the chimney breast, which has become a feature in the room. To keep the living room private, new wooden sliding doors were fitted giving the family the flexibility of opening the space when necessary. The newly fitted beautiful solid oak hardwood floor offers warmth and unifies the whole renovated ground floor space. The first floor bathroom and the shower room in the loft were also renovated, including underfloor heating. Portal Property Services managed the whole renovation project, including the design and installation of the kitchen, toilet and bathrooms.

This tile accent wall was created using large format, stacked stone, tile and tobacco sticks. The dimensions of the tile and existing wall presented a challenge. Two tiles would cover all but 3" of the wall width. Rather than fill in with such a small piece of tile we decided to frame each side with a 1-1/2" width of wood it wood. The wood also needed to be 3/8" thick to match the thickness of the tile. You won't find those dimensions at a lumber yard, so we visited our local source for reclaimed materials. They had tobacco sticks which come in the odd sizes we wanted. The aged finish of the tobacco sticks was the perfect compliment to the vanity and the Industrial style light fixture. Sometimes the solution to a functional design dilemma also delivers extraordinary aesthetic results. The lighting in this bath is carefully layered. Recessed ceiling lights and the vanity mirror with LED backlighting are controlled by dimmer switches. The vanity light is fitted with Edison style bulbs which shed a warmer, softer level of light.
