My partner and I are in the midst of a slow renovation of a 1700s cottage that had been extended with a single-storey addition in the 80s, which housed the bathroom and three tiny bedrooms. Due to the bottom-heavy nature of our house, we knew the main bathroom would have to remain on the ground floor, and we would simply build a mid-sized en suite for the upstairs bedrooms to use.
After the messy building work had finished, I was itching for a bold colour to give the layout some personality. I was frustrated with the off-white colour we had chosen for the main broken plan living areas that adjoin the bathroom, so I took a leap of faith and chose a deep terracotta red for our bathroom colour scheme.
