For a truly luxe feel, the owners built a vanity unit out of mdf to sit around a bespoke Corian basin and sprayed it with a high-gloss paint. This creates a dramatic contrast with the mahogany-coloured Roble Cognac wall tiles by Porcelanosa.

4/9 Whirlpool bath

The Squaro whirlpool bath by Villeroy & Boch has its own headrest. Pipework was concealed by a stud wall, so the owner had niches built into it - each with their own light - for displaying Eastern-style ornaments in them.

5/9 Bath mixer & towel rail

A wall-mounted Levo bath spoutLevo manual concealed valve small cover plate and shower mixer all by Pura Bathrooms leave enough space for a luxury whirlpool bath. A heated towel rail ensures wall towels are close at home. Bianco wall tiles from Tile Shapes complement the mahogany-coloured Roble Cognac wall tiles by Porcelanosa.

6/9 Curved shower enclosure

By changing the door to the bathroom to a sliding one, a generously-sized Merlyn 10 Series shower enclosure has been squeezed into the room. The Bauhaus Steam II WC came from builders merchants Grant & Stone.  Bianco wall tiles from Tile Shapes line the enclosure to protect the walls.

7/9 Sliding door

To create more room inside the bathroom, the original door that opened inwards taking up valuable floor space has been replaced with a glass sliding door from Porcelanosa.

8/9 Vanity unit

The extra-shiny black gloss of the vanity unit was created by getting a car body workshop to spray mdf. The Corian basin was made by Cutting Edge and a wall-mounted Puro Levo two-hole basin mixer enhances its sleek lines.
