There’s no better place for a pink vanity than in a teenage girl’s bathroom!
Our clients chose a slim shaker cabinet door profile & a design with plenty of storage for all of their daughter’s necessities.

deSigneR - Architects and Interior DesignersIn the girl's bathroom, quirkiness reigns supreme,
With a pink herringbone shower, a whimsical dream.
Contrasting terrazzo tiles in vibrant hues,
Bring a burst of colors, as if chosen by muse.
But it's the fluted pink vanity that steals the show,
Standing out boldly, a focal point that glows.
A playful space, where creativity finds its stride,
This bathroom is where joy and style collide.

For its September Issue, Architectural Digest was invited to discover and unveil Kate Moss’ collaboration with the prestigious English wallpaper brand de Gournay. It is in the heart of Primrose Hill, in the fashion icon’s house, that her inimitable aesthetic sense is once yet demonstrated.
Already a long-standing de Gournay client, it should come as no surprise that she chose to join forces with the brand to create ‘Anemones in Light’, a beautiful chinoiserie wallcovering now part of the house’s permanent collection and showcased in her bathroom, reflecting her personal style: sleek and modern with a poetic touch.
This Art Deco-inspired masterpiece, made in custom Xuan paper, displays largescale hand-painted Anemones, symbol of luck according to Greek mythology. The intricate flowers, alongside shards of light hand-gilded in sterling silver metal leaf, superbly stand out on an ethereal background. This backdrop is painted in a hue named “Dusk”, referring to the supermodel’s favourite time of the day and reminiscent of “a summer night when it goes silvery-blue from the light of the moon”, as she stated in Architectural Digest.
The Double Lowther vanity basin suite, handmade using traditional methods, finds its place perfectly in this glamorous, romantic and relaxing atmosphere. Our largest basin unit constitutes a wonderful option for bathrooms providing sufficient space as this one. It features a stunning classic marble white Arabescato finish, hand-cut with detailed moulding and characterized by black veins, echoing with the flowers’ long stems. This precious piece also includes his and her deep and spacious basins, made in hand-poured china for a unique result. Its stand, created here in a chrome finish, blends in beautifully with the silver-tinted wallpaper and the embroidered curtains, made from saris, which are draped at the windows.
Last but not least: the mirrored sections, which create the illusion of a bigger room, have been designed in a way to outline the pre-existing wooden panelling with elegance. Here are displayed antique perfume bottles, golden ornaments and flowers.

Shabby-Chic Style Family Bathroom Ideas and Designs
Whether you’re doing a bathroom renovation or just a refresh; making your shabby-chic style bathroom design brighter, cleaner and more attractive will make you feel happier to use it every day. If your bathroom is a small space in your home where you don’t spend much time, it’s time to think about alternatives. Browse the pictures to find inspiring bathroom ideas on Houzz, including stylish vanities, fancy toilets, taps, shower tiling, as well as storage ideas for small bathrooms. 
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. 
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 shabby-chic style bath in the form to create a tranquil, spa feel, as well. 
How do I find vintage 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 romantic bathroom decor & furniture?
Selecting shabby-chic style 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 vintage 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 romantic 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 shabby-chic style 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 shabby-chic style 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 vintage 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 romantic 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.2
