'We wanted to recreate that boutique spa-style vibe'

Bathroom with beige and white striped floor tiles, a large green bathtub, an oversized banana plant and a green fluted bathroom console unit with twin pink/beige basins and black hardware.

If you live in a home long enough, it tends to evolve as your needs change.

For example, you may need more space as and when your family grows, or you spend ages saving up for your dream renovation. When that time comes, extensions and conversions can be undertaken, rooms might be reconfigured, or new bathrooms added.

When the owners of this home first moved in, the property was a complete wreck with a downstairs bathroom beyond the kitchen. They reconfigured the layout straightaway, adding a central shower room on the first floor. And then again, after their first child was born, they added a much-needed bathtub to the back guest bedroom as a temporary measure.
