UserElegance and timeless design with muted tones were the client’s brief for this pair of guest bathrooms. Set within the top floor guest apartment of this stunning period property overlooking the suspension bridge in Clifton, the bathrooms needed to fit within the period features whilst still offering a feeling of space and luxury. A family bathroom caters to three of the guest bedrooms with a feature free-standing bath taking centre stage in this calming space. Next door the ensuite bathroom completes a private guest suite. Symmetrical design brings flow whilst built in storage and vanity unit allow guests to make themselves completely at home.
Simpson & VoyleThe image showcases a chic and contemporary bathroom vanity area with a focus on clean lines and monochromatic tones. The vanity cabinet features a textured front with vertical grooves, painted in a crisp white that contrasts with the sleek black handles and faucet. This combination of black and white creates a bold, graphic look that is both modern and timeless.
Above the vanity, a round mirror with a thin black frame reflects the clean aesthetic of the space, complementing the other black accents. The wall behind the vanity is partially tiled with white subway tiles, adding a classic bathroom touch that meshes well with the contemporary features.
A two-bulb wall sconce is mounted above the mirror, providing ample lighting with a minimalist design that doesn't detract from the overall simplicity of the decor. To the right, a towel ring holds a white towel, continuing the black and white theme.
This bathroom design is an excellent example of how minimalist design can be warm and inviting while still maintaining a sleek and polished look. The careful balance of textures, colors, and lighting creates an elegant space that is functional and stylish.

Alexander KitchensGrey Bathroom in Storrington, West Sussex
Contemporary grey furniture and tiling combine with natural wood accents for this sizeable en-suite in Storrington.
The Brief
This Storrington client had a plan to remove a dividing wall between a family bathroom and an existing en-suite to make a sizeable and luxurious new en-suite.
The design idea for the resulting en-suite space was to include a walk-in shower and separate bathing area, with a layout to make the most of natural light. A modern grey theme was preferred with a softening accent colour.
Design Elements
Removing the dividing wall created a long space with plenty of layout options.
After contemplating multiple designs, it was decided the bathing and showering areas should be at opposite ends of the room to create separation within the space.
To create the modern, high-impact theme required, large format grey tiles have been utilised in harmony with a wood-effect accent tile, which feature at opposite ends of the en-suite.
The furniture has been chosen to compliment the modern theme, with a curved Pelipal Cassca unit opted for in a Steel Grey Metallic finish. A matching three-door mirrored unit has provides extra storage for this client, plus it is also equipped with useful LED downlighting.
Special Inclusions
Plenty of additional storage has been made available through the use of built-in niches. These are useful for showering and bathing essentials, as well as a nice place to store decorative items. These niches have been equipped with small downlights to create an alluring ambience.
A spacious walk-in shower has been opted for, which is equipped with a chrome enclosure from British supplier Crosswater. The enclosure combines well with chrome brassware has been used elsewhere in the room from suppliers Saneux and Vado.
Project Highlight
The bathing area of this en-suite is a soothing focal point of this renovation.
It has been placed centrally to the feature wall, in which a built-in niche has been included with discrete downlights. Green accents, natural decorative items, and chrome brassware combines really well at this end of the room.
The End Result
The end result is a completely transformed en-suite bathroom, unrecognisable from the two separate rooms that existed here before. A modern theme is consistent throughout the design, which makes use of natural highlights and inventive storage areas.

How do I find bathroom ideas for my renovation?
If you’re starting your bathroom renovation from scratch, or ripping out and starting again, then once you’ve sorted the plan and the plumbing you’ll need to think about what kind of ideas you’d like. The easiest option is to get inspiration from bathroom professionals. However, if you’ve dreamt of a roll-top bath or a walk-in shower with heating at, then you might want to take longer looking for each item individually. Choosing all white elements will obviously tie everything together, but also think about the style you’re going for – ultra modern taps will clash with traditional Victorian-style wash basins. And it’s probably good to consider your flooring or surfaces, and walls to make sure everything will complement. Take a look through the different styles of bathroom designs on Houzz to get some inspiration. How do I select the right bathroom decor & furniture?
Selecting bathroom decor such as cabinets, mirrors, shelves or other furniture for bathrooms can be tricky. You want to consider the storage they offer while also making sure they make an attractive feature as you enter your bathroom. Don’t forget you need them to be durable and withstand the damp conditions, e.g. if you’re going for a painted cabinet make sure the paint is suitable for baths. For medicine cabinets you will find most have mirrored fronts, but you can find extra features such as clocks and shaving sockets built-in.What bathroom storage ideas should I look at?
While bathroom storage ideas is not the first thing you think of when it comes to bathrooms, you’ll be surprised at how much difference it makes when your bathroom is organised – specially if you’re dealing with a small bathroom, this is essential. We all know how accessories like bottles, toiletries, lotions and potions can pile up next to the bath. And where to put the cotton buds, painkillers, plasters, other medicine, creams and sanitary products? That’s not even considering using your bathroom as a place to store your towels and bathrobes. The first thing to consider when reviewing bathroom ideas is if you can invest in built-in bathroom storage. Large vanity units will have drawers and compartments to store a great number of toiletries and bathroom necessities, and if your bathroom or cloakroom has room for a built-in cupboard you can start storing small accessories and larger items there. If you can’t do anything on this scale, you could investigate built-in storage around the bath or look at less permanent options. Shelves and shelving units, like ladder shelves, will give you extra space without taking up too much floor space. Also look for wire, wicker or fabric baskets, large and small, to store items under or next to the sink, or even on the wall. What's the best ideas for lighting?
Water and electricity don’t mix, so make sure your bathroom lights are safe, first and foremost. There are actually regulations around what type of light fittings you can use and where – IP67 rating lights for submerged areas e.g. inside baths and sinks (Zone 0); IP65 for any area above a shower or bath (Zone 1); and IP44 rating for anything 0.6m from a bath or basin (Zone 2). After you’ve made sure your light fittings are safe and to-code, you can consider the type and style you’d like as your working through your bathroom ideas. The sink, the mirror, shower and/or bath are the places where you might want the clearest and strongest light. You can use these if you want it to be bright and clear. Otherwise, you might want to look at some soft, ambient lighting in the form of chandeliers, short pendants or wall lamps. You could use accent lighting around your bath in the form to create a tranquil, spa feel, as well. Bathroom tiles – what should I go for?
It’s rare to find bathrooms without tiles. Although it can be done with panelling, materials like tadelakt, waterproof paint, wallpaper or well-treated wood; bathroom tiles are so copious and easy to apply that it’s hard to avoid going with tiles in the bathroom. The great thing is that both floor tiles and wall tiles come in a huge variety of sizes, styles, colours and patterns, so you can remodel your room completely with whatever tile choices fit with your bathroom ideas. When it comes to flooring, tiles will be durable, easy to clean and deal well with water, but if you want something different you could go with modern concrete, traditional or country-style treated wooden floorboards, or a bit more quirky bamboo, cork or vinyl. What to do with small bathrooms?
The best small bathroom ideas will maximise the space you have. From installing a bidet to simple decorative tips there are plenty of things you can do to make it look bigger. Recessed shelves can make a huge difference both visually and practically to small bathrooms, so if you are able to have these installed when your walls are being renovated you could add some to your shower or sink area. You could choose pale colours and iridescent tiles that reflect the light, keep walls and ceilings the same colour and texture, and use complementary shades throughout the bathroom– fewer contrasts and transitions will help maintain the sense of space. Floating bathroom units also draw the eye to visible floor space underneath them, and clear glass shower screens will keep the room feeling open and airy. Finishing touches like artfully placed large mirrors will also make small bathrooms appear more expansive.1
