Be inspired by a contemporary bathroom makeover

Click ahead for the before shot...

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.

The contemporary basin sits above the modern vanity unit.

The basin and tap are both from Ripples.
