An outdated shower room in Cardiff has been transformed into a genuine sanctuary, balancing elegance with everyday practicality. Frameless glass panels open the spacious walk-in shower to the rest of the room, while statement brass fittings, including a rainfall shower head, add a note of quiet luxury.
Wall tiling combines Gemstone Pink Matt Onyx-Effect Porcelain with Riga Chevron Decor Stone-Effect ceramic, pairing a soft, veined elegance with dynamic pattern and texture. An oak-effect vanity brings organic warmth, topped with a sculptural stone-effect basin and a brass mixer tap that echoes the shower
fittings for a cohesive finish throughout.
Careful lighting design — warm LEDs in brass housings alongside precisely placed spotlights — brings every texture to life, while smaller brass details on the towel rail, mirror frame and door handle carry the theme right through the room.
This project shows what's possible when tile choice, fittings and lighting are considered together from the outset, rather than bolted on room by room. The result isn't just a renovation, it's a retreat.
When it comes to bathrooms and wet rooms, spacial design is incredibly important. Making the most of your available space is one of Jo Buckerfield’s design strengths. Feel free to contact Jo today. Let's see what amazing ideas she can come up with.
