SPLASH out

For a sleek feel, shun screens and shower curtains in favour of a more open approach. Resins and poured surfaces offer a plethora of useful properties – easy to clean, waterproof and available in a spectrum of colours, they’re also compatible with under-floor heating and offer a smart solution for small spaces where tiling may prove tricky.

Belgian designer Ilse Popelier chose a polyurethane epoxy for this bold wet room (ilsepopelier.be). Flormac can supply resin floors and walls from around £3,500 for a similar-sized bathroom (flormac.co.uk). For a similar shower, try Dornbracht’s ‘Meta’ design, from £5,689 (dornbracht.com)
