Pink bathroom with large walk-in shower and marble tiles

The owners of this home in Wiltshire wanted to create a sugary sweet shower room which championed the colour pink.

The focal point within the room is the large double-entry shower which sits opposite the door, creating a real statement when you enter the room. A large traditional-style showerhead provides a luxurious showering experience, whilst the in-built storage niche offers the perfect place to house shower products, keeping the floor clear. A large shower tray has been integrated within the floor, sitting level with the floor tiles to create a seamless experience underfoot. The rest of the floor space features stunning large-format tiles in a marble pattern which complements the pink elements in the room perfectly. This tile was also used as a backdrop to the shower, tying the whole space together.

The large-format tiles in the shower were then book-ended with bevelled white metro tiles, providing an additional waterproof surface to protect the walls from any splashes from the walk-in shower. Matching towel warmers were installed on either side of the shower, in the same Brushed Nickel finish as the shower and the rest of the brassware in the room. The use of two towel warmers creates symmetry as well as provides heating for the large space.

The basin area has been kept fairly minimal, with a simple wall-hung basin, rectangular mirror, matching wall lights and floating shelf. The colour of the shelf is Farrow & Ball’s ‘Sulking Room Pink’ and this was also used on the wooden panelling behind the WC, creating a synergy in the room. The addition of panelling creates hide all pipework and parts but also gives a nod to the Edwardian heritage of the home. The WC strikes the perfect balance between contemporary and modern design, offering a wall-hung solution but with some classical flourishes.
