Fitting in

Left: In older homes, it can be a logistical challenge to fit everything into the bathroom. However, if you have an alcove with good ceiling height, then it offers the ideal opportunity for a built-in shower enclosure, like this space by BC Designs. Follow the same principles as for a wet room, but on a smaller scale. Create a feature wall with scalloped tiles, such as Topps Tiles’ Syren tiles in Midnight Blue, £98.12 per m2, and pair with marble-look tiles on the remaining surfaces for an air of sophistication. Brass fittings, like Crosswater’s MPO shower kit, from £999, add a luxurious edge.
