The client’s property was a classic five bedroom detached property, featuring lots of great architecture. A modern extension was built on the back of this property which consisted of the master bedroom, dressing room and en-suite that all overlooked the garden allowing the natural light of the day to flow into the rooms. The design started as a very blank canvas, with a few key requirements from the client.

Obsidian Interiors wanted to create the feeling of space whilst allowing the en-suite to be discreetly hidden from the bedroom when needed. When working out the floor plan, the designers came up with the idea to centralise some double pocket doors. Making a real feature of this master en-suite. The design of the pocket doors was to match all the other classic-styled doors in this property.

Weeks were spent choosing the right colour hues, textures, styles, brassware and glass finishes. After sourcing the most beautiful book matched porcelain tile from Mandarin Stone, this gave the room a sustainable and elegant look. Choosing a geometric form of bold taps, from Samuel Heath, in a city bronze finish contrasted really well with the colour tones and marble veins in the tile. This created an essence of minimalism without being too extraneous on the elements.

In terms of the design, Obsidian Interiors added a full height stud wall to create a center showpiece using the book match tiles so as you entered the room. It gave the Master En-suite a real impact. “WOW” factor. Maintaining a consistent design throughout, Obsidian cleverly designed a double walk-in shower area one side of the dividing wall & on the other side designing the double wall-mounted basin area. Keeping the basin area minimal and simply styled with Antonio Lupi units, lots of feature lighting.

Taking advantage of the beautiful tall ceilings and underpinning the classic and elegant styling, two tall recessed mirror cabinets & bronze fluted wall lights were added above the basins, which enriched and complemented this area. Finishing this section off with beautiful cornice, which matched the original cornice in the rest of house.
