We play with various marbles and stones and introduce feature lighting, colour and unique vanity designs. A bath is a vital design element and a sculptural piece. Whether it is freestanding or built in, the bath often acts as the focal point of the scheme, highlighted through a feature material or cladding. We love to mix materials, finishes and colours within an interior and ensure the bath is both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. We embrace polished plaster, coloured marble, plinths, beautiful lighting and occasional furniture, such as a side table, to create a unique interior space that is always specific to each site and client.” @pocodesigns
