The owners of this house chose to rip out their dated bathroom suite and make a chic freestanding bath the centrepiece of the room. With the addition of glossy granite tiles and lime-green accents, theyve created their own modern sanctuary.

The bright-white walls and sanitaryware, mixed with the light wood of the units and doors, helps to create a relaxing spa feel.
