A freestanding roll-top bath, walls painted in a calming green (Sophisticated Sage by Dulux), a flagstone-style floor and rustic pine accessories all combine to create a characterful, country bathroom. As there is no outside window on any of the walls, light is brought into the room through a skylight.

The bathroom before the makeover
The old bathroom used to be split into two tiny rooms on either side of the landing. The owners moved a staircase so they could fit a whole bathroom suite into one room.
