A Classic Twist of Black and White

The eye is immediately drawn to the amazing ‘Reverie 3’ floor tiles by Unicom Starker and this black and white theme is followed through in the furniture and accessories.

You won’t find shiny chrome taps here. It was a clever choice to opt for black matt fittings giving a monochrome look which ties in beautifully with the tiles.

In our last blog in this series, we heard from Chloe who told us about the kitchen she designed for her home. This time we’ve moved onto Dez Ferguson who is also based in our Milton Keynes showroom, where he specialises as a Bathroom Designer. Dez's designs can be seen far and wide; also all over Bedfordshire since he previously worked from our Bedford store.

Dez has created countless dream bathrooms while he’s been in the industry for the past 20 years, so it wasn’t easy for him to pick a favourite design. However, one that recently stood out for him was a bathroom designed for a customer locally in Milton Keynes.

Newly refurbished and in all its glory

We are excited to have just launched our newly refurbished showroom last month. The space is now full with innovative and inspiring roomsets, showcasing premium tiles and luxury hand-picked bathroom furniture.

New and existing customers celebrated with us, enjoying glasses of Aperol Spritz and our favourites from a local pizzeria. Customers were able to use the event to reimagine their own bathrooms, seeing our latest products and taking advice from our knowledgeable sales team.

The bays were expertly fitted by Jarek and Tomek from JT Builders and designed by members of the Bedford design team.

Small & dark is beautiful

A common thinking would be to choose a bright colour scheme for a relatively small space however this bathroom has gone against the rules. Besides, whites and metallics, which are a must-have in a bathroom look so much cooler against a dark background!

The wall and floor tiles are from the Interno 9 range by ABK in three different colours: Pearl, Silver and Dark. The gorgeous tile collection has the look of oxidised metals paired with the imitation concrete trend. The delicate finish of the tiles reflects the light, leaving a gentle shimmery surface.

This project has a consistent theme running between the two rooms, with super reflective walls and floors. The Porcelanosa Shine Niquel tiles imitate Chinese slate on the walls, which are beautifully offset by the sparkly Jewelstone Grey floor tiles.

The toilets are taken from the Compact Collection by RAK Ceramics in both rooms. Basins and units come from the Austen range by Saneux in the en-suite and Eastbrooks Oslo unit with Quantum cast top basin in the main bathroom.

2 Bathroom Project - Bathroom and Shower Room

This tidy modern bathroom features Italian porcelain wall and floors - Casalgrande Metalwood Platino (walls) and Metalwood Argento (Floors). The modern white Impakt Vanity Unit and concealed cistern, with the very stylish Bauhaus Touch back-to-wall pan, hides away pipes giving a concealed look without having the cistern and pipe work fitted in the walls. A simple durable bath 'The Comfort gripped' comes with chrome handles, a nice little safety feature for getting in and out of the bath.

A beautiful natural-look bathroom featuring the Unicom Starker Dordogne Ivoire wall and floor tiles. This natural stone-looking porcelain tile offers the beauty of natural stone without the laborious maintenance involved in having real travertine tiles. Natural stone tiles are always in fashion, used in both traditional and modern settings.

This particular design setting boasts a modern style using a selection of pieces from contemporary bathroom manufacturers such as Crosswater, Novellini, Porcelanosa and Deuco.

A new bathroom design and installation by Marabese. This modern bathroom features two of our polished porcelain best sellers by RAK Ceramics 'Lounge Light Grey Polished 60 x 30cm' and 'Lounge Dark Grey Polished 60 x 30cm'. The dark grey polished porcelain has been used as a contrasting floor tile, which also runs up one section of wall to break the lighter shade of grey creating a decorative feature. To achieve this sleek & seamless look, all the pipe work has been boxed and tiled.

This spacious bathroom installation has both a walk-in shower and back-to-wall bath, along with luxury bathroom pottery and furniture from the Mereway Sargasso collection.
