The brief & the vision
The owner’s request was clear: transform a tired, clinical ensuite into a space that felt sexy, bold, feminine, and sophisticated. The original bathroom, with its stark white wall tiles, dated chrome tap ware, and dark grey flooring, lacked personality and warmth. Working in the luxury beauty and homewares industry, the owner sought an ensuite that reflected the same sense of refinement she experiences daily, with elegant storage solutions to ensure beauty products were both accessible and discreetly organised.
Howard Lane Designs responded with a vision that sought to maximise every millimetre of the compact layout, balancing luxury with functionality. Their goal was to create a bathroom that felt indulgent and personal, yet practical for everyday use.
- Material palette: A striking Rosso Trentino marble was introduced in a full-length ledge that doubles as storage, offering both elegance and drama.
- Tile selection: Zellige-style tiles softly reflect light, amplifying brightness and adding depth in a space with limited natural light.
- Lighting: Layered illumination, including our Orb Sur Wall Light, enriched textures and finishes to create an atmosphere that is warm, inviting, and luxurious.
The result is a sanctuary that fulfils the owner’s original brief while exceeding expectations, transforming a once uninspired bathroom into an award-winning space.
