CROWN JEWEL

The North African influence is a magic formula for statement bathrooms. The main event is, of course, the floor-to-ceiling tessellated Zellige tiles in lapis blue, pictured here with subtle variations in texture and colour. Restraint in the design details ensures that the end result is both elegant and contemporary. This bathroom features a simple timber-framed glass door, brass shower fittings, a dramatic marble basin and a polished stone shelf set low to the ground.
