Be inspired by a contemporary bathroom makeover

The bathroom in this 17th-century farmhouse was in need of updating. The owners wanted to install a shower and prevent the room from feeling divided and lacking in focus.

The modern wall-hung unit breaks up the long space. The partition wall provides a place for the large mirror and simple tiled splashback.

Find splashback tiles like these at Kirkstone. The mirror is from Ripples.

The freestanding roll-top bath adds a touch of country character to the new bathroom. It also stops the overall look feeling too modern.

For a similar bath try the Duchess corner bath from the Cooke & Lewis range at B&Q.

The large walk in wet-room area features a tiled shelf which provides a convenient place to store toiletries.

For similar wall and floor tiles try Oxford Stone & Marble.

The window seat hides pipework but also provides a perfect view of the garden below.

The owners made better use of the space by creating a false wall to separate the walk-in shower. The toilet has been neatly hidden behind the newly-created vanity area.

The shower screen, fittings, toilet, vanity unit and teak worktop are all from Ripples. The wet area mosaic floor tiles are from Lakeland Stone.
