A Dazzling & Dramatic Downstairs Bathroom Renovation
It's Lucy
When Lucy and her husband decided to extend their 3-bedroom home into a spacious 5-bedroom residence, a downstairs toilet was a key requirement. Read on to discover how they transformed a functional and simple space into an eye-catching and colourful cloakroom, full of whimsy and charm.
Inspiration
Twilight colours, clean lines and a charming mix of old and new.
The brief
Create a practical, beautiful space with celestial surfaces and brass accessories as the stars of the design.
Entertainment and Privacy
Lucy loves hosting gatherings and entertaining guests. However, as a chronic illness sufferer, she values her privacy. The downstairs WC ensures that guests don't need to venture upstairs, preserving Lucy's personal space.
Tackling the Yorkshire Mud
Lucy's young son is an avid football enthusiast, which often results in muddy footprints throughout the house. With a WC downstairs, there's a reduced risk of mud trails in their home.
Convenience for Aging Parents
Lucy's parents are getting older, and their comfort during visits is a priority. The downstairs WC offers them easy access, especially when they stay over in the playroom equipped with a sofa bed. No more waiting lines outside the bathroom!
Adding Value
A single toilet in a 5-bedroom house isn't practical. This addition not only caters to Lucy's family's needs but also enhances the value of their home.
Inspiration
Lucy
I’m a little bit in love with all things celestial, and I’ve honestly had these star tiles marked on Pinterest for years. We wanted a concealed cistern to hide the plumbing and allow our chosen statement tiles to take centre stage.
The finished look
A stunning, starry room with a clean finish and additional storage space.
