'Our new bathroom is full of little details that make life just that little bit nicer'

A bathroom with wood flooring, black and white patterned tiles, and marble tiled walls, with a pale grey twin vanity unit and storage baskets in a small alcove.

When this couple first moved into their house 20 years ago, the bathroom needed replacing almost immediately and they chose a neutral scheme that worked well for family life.

But when the underfloor heating broke down last year it prompted a refresh. 'After all that time, the space felt a bit tired, and the floor tiles we had originally chosen made it feel dark, even though it's a bright room. They showed dirt and hair so were hard to keep clean,' explains the homeowner.
