This bathroom has a functional feel with vinyl flooring, but the striking high-gloss black tiles around the bath give it a modern twist.

A white, wall-hung basin stands out against the black metro tiles. The mirror above it is simply propped up on a shelf, giving the room a more relaxed feel.

The wall-hung loo makes cleaning the vinyl flooring easier.  All the pipework that was added to the bathroom has been boxed in and tiled, creating a shelf halfway up the wall for displaying bottles of toiletries.

A trolley is a flexible alternative to cupboards or shelves and adds to the industrial look of this monochrome bathroom.

Good insulation is crucial for loft conversions as they get hot in summer and extra chilly in winter. A compact heated towel rail has been installed in the space beneath the sloping roof. A patterned laundry basket fits in with the monochrome scheme in this bathroom.

The loft had been left empty until the owners of this house decided to convert it into a modern bathroom.
