A bathroom - what does it mean for each of us? The place, where we usually brush our teeth and take a shower, or something more than that? A lot of designers assure that judging by one’s bathroom it is possible to find out practically everything about a man and his/her tastes. The times when it was regarded from the point of view of its direct use are far behind. Nowadays, bathrooms sometimes occupy a whole room with a window allowing us to enjoy sunshine and look at the stars during exhilarating and relaxing water procedures.

Can you imagine how enlightening it feels to swim in crystal clear turquoise seawater, or to dive into the deep blue depths of a swimming pool? This is a sensation that can be created in the privacy of the home too, in the form of a fresh bathroom. The right choice of colour goes a long way to promote this feeling of freshness in the limited confines of the shower stall or bathroom, aquamarine, azure, pearl, and crystal all help to desired atmosphere. The fresh look bathroom should always provoke a sense of space and light, with an open and bright quality, rather than a cozy and sensual one. Colour and line accentuate this feeling, so use sea coloured tiles to cover large areas, creating a platform of uninterrupted colour, alongside a generous use of transparent materials and glass. It may be possible to replace a whole wall with glass to eliminate solid visual obstructions, and to install sleek bathroom units in gleaming white or a fresh aqua shade, with minimal visible plumbing. Paint the ceiling in a suitably pale hue and keep the floor light in colour and pattern to further promote the atmosphere of fresh spaciousness.

Anyone would agree that the bathroom is one of the most cluttered room in a house. Just imagine, if people can sometimes take their bedrooms for granted, what more their bathrooms? People only go to bathrooms to take a bath or relieve their bowels that’s why most of the time they don’t bother organizing them. Arranging the bathroom usually comes to people’s minds only when they see a nice one being showcased on television or when an unexpected guest arrives at their houses.

Although a traditional ceiling fan (one with exterior blades) is not generally what a homeowner considers when looking for ventilation in the bathroom. A small, half-bath or even a small full bath is usually not an appropriate place to consider installing a traditional ceiling fan, however in more modern, larger deluxe homes with large “live-in” bathrooms, a ceiling fan can add both a functional as well as a decorative touch that makes this area even more elegant and comfortable.

I had a customer call me to make a complaint about the Limestone floor we had restored and sealed for them. The building is a state of the art facility in the heart of Covent Garden, in London. The problem was as an up market serviced office block the tenants were complaining that the Limestone Floor was resoling very fast and looking extremely dirty even immediately after the contract cleaners had washed the floor.

When most people think of moisture in a bathroom, they are thinking about mopping up if the shower door is left open or after someone exits the tub or shower.
There is much more to moisture than that. Today bathrooms are more moist areas than in the past. Bathing has become a luxurious pastime as well as just a cleansing routine.
Bathrooms are now fitted with showerheads and jets that expel numerous streams of water at once. Bathtubs are becoming larger and holding more water. Then, there are the steam showers. All these items create a lot of moisture, and the moisture has to go somewhere.

Concrete’s use in kitchens and bathrooms may still be considered relatively “modern” design-wise by some homeowners. But while concrete can be used to create a modern or minimal look, it’s also perfectly adaptable to a more traditional setting — where it was so extensively used in the first place.
Concrete can act as a substitute for more traditional materials. Rather than just using concrete to explicitly re-create something from the past, you can also combine it with other elements to suggest a timeless quality. In my work, I always strive to strike a balance between innovation and emotion, between spare contemporary and warm traditional. Adding mosaic tile along the front edge of a concrete surface, inlaying bits of tile along a backsplash, or even embedding a fossil in a countertop all connect us to the past.
