This principal bathroom ties in perfectly with the building’s historical nature. Rachael Lauren Interiors introduced traditional undertones into the space with classical lighting, panelling and brassware – this, combined with a contemporary bespoke double vanity and large format marble tiles, to produce the perfect blend of classic contemporary that’s also practical for family life.

The brief for Rachael Lauren Interiors was to transform two small rooms into one large family bathroom that had all the essentials for a busy young family of five. The clients requested a functional family bathroom that was not only beautiful and aesthetically pleasing but had the practicality for family life. Their main criteria was to include lots of storage, a separate bath and shower area but above all a bathroom that would have the longevity to stand the test of time and not to date as design trends change It was a priority that the bathroom would tie in with the historical nature of their Victorian property.

After receiving the brief, Rachael Lauren Interiors created in depth design proposals including initial concept boards, general arrangement plans, lighting, small power & plumbing details, and a full presentation of finishes.

The designers ensured that traditional elements were introduced such as wall panelling, classical lighting, and brassware. They then went onto work closely with the client, suppliers, and trades people to ensure that the bathroom designs executed perfectly to meet the criteria of everything required for modern family life, such as a large bespoke double vanity, double mirrors, and lots of hidden storage. Rachael Lauren Interiors also added hardwearing vinyl wallpaper above the panelling, large format nonslip tiles to the floor and worked to ensure the bathroom met the client brief in full and the clients were thrilled with the result.

The main feature within this bathroom is the double bespoke vanity area with feature mirrors. This is a one-of-a-kind custom made original design that is not only beautiful but also has the practicality aspect of storage.
