Ever wondered how to infuse your bathroom with that coveted hotel-inspired luxury while keeping it functional for everyday use?

Marble look all round!

We're excited to introduce a new bathroom designer, based at our Bedford showroom. Katie has a thorough knowledge of our products, having been selling them for several years, but also has a passion for design so was eager to get started designing dream bathrooms. Katie will be bringing her expertise in supply and fit to the table and is proud to share her first project with us here.

Luxurious monochromatic hotel look

At Marabese our experienced designers are determined to make the most of any space. This en-suite bathroom is a shining example: Expertly fitted by Lewis Morey with a shower, toilet and extra storage, the room is fully functional without forfeiting style or space. The customer was most pleased with the outcome, saying: ‘I would like to thank you so much for planning and supplying the materials for our en-suite. Lewis has done a fantastic job, I’m so glad you recommended him. Every time my wife walks into the en-suite, she feels like she is in a posh hotel on holiday!’ So how was this luxury hotel effect created?

All about the stone

The stony look of this bathroom has a natural appearance which could be compared to the beautiful interior of a cave. We have the same tile on the walls and floors – the delightful Choice Ash tile by Pamesa in a 30.3 x 61.3cm format.

Using the same tile throughout was chosen to achieve a coordinated look, with a sense of continuity. The effect is spa-like and minimalistic with the intention to make the small space appear larger. The tiles are an amazing combination of light grey and ash coloured tones which are blended to create an overwhelming natural look!

Modern and High-tech

Clean and bright, this bathroom has a classic finish with modern touches. The Marmol Carrara Blanco wall tiles by Porcelanosa are a timeless choice. The marble effect gives a luxurious finish to this bathroom while the RAK Ceramic's Lounge Dark Grey matt tiles contrast the bright white of the wall tiles for a contemporary feel.

The sanitaryware used in this bathroom makes great use of the generous space. The Eastbrook Celsius Bath features a sleek design that pairs perfectly with Eastbrook's Metro close to wall toilet. The simple designs keep this bathroom uncluttered and fuss free.

Attractive Contrasts

Serene yet still modern, this bathroom perfectly balances contemporary style with practicality. The wall tiles used are the Porcelanosa Park Acero as well as the Porcelanosa Park Linear Acero tiles for added texture. Matching floor tiles were used creating a seamless look.

Black gloss sanitaryware contrasts the grey, concrete-effect tiles to create a chic finish. The HIB Beau basin unit in Anthracite offers generous storage along with the HiB Kurve Tall Storage Unit (also in Anthracite). While offering plenty of storage, these wall-mounted units do not consume floor space so the stunning tiles are on full display! The matching WC unit completes the bathroom.

Natural and textured

Though contemporary, this en-suite bathroom has a serene, spa-like ambience. This has been created using tiles inspired by nature. NovaBell's wood-effect My Space Cloud floor tiles combined with the Park Acero wall tiles by Porcelanosa give an organic feel that is timeless in a bathroom.

Contrasting the natural looking tiles yet still perfectly complementing them is the choice of modern sanitaryware which are all finished with shiny chrome fittings.

A miniature palace

The best things come in small packages and this bathroom is no different! Although space in this bathroom is limited, it has been utilised in the most practical and stylish way.

The Palatina Polished wall tiles in a marble effect give a luxurious and chic finish while the white colour keeps the space bright. Laying these rectangular tiles horizontally gives the illusion of a larger room. The Lounge Dark Grey floor tiles by RAK Ceramics provide a contemporary feel and perfectly complement the grey veining seen in the wall tiles.
