FUNCTIONALITY IS KEY.
Unsure how to tackle the design and make the most of an awkward space, the homeowner contacted local interior designer Charlotte Jarega, for help. Explained Charlotte: “The property is a beautiful Victorian terraced house, packed with original features. Unfortunately, the guest bathroom was victim of an unsympathetic nineties makeover. A large shower area, plus bath was making it feel rather cramped and dark and the owner wanted help to make the room lighter and more spacious, complementing the décor throughout the rest of her home.”
For this project, functionality was key. The homeowner had already chosen the feature tiles and wanted to bring them to life, so this became the inspiration for the style of the room. Charlotte’s idea of a botanical theme was welcomed by her client, and the design progressed to incorporate texture, a muted colour palette and a variety of balancing materials. The shower enclosure was a key element of the design as Charlotte explained: “Creation of a light and bright space was so important for my client and at the same time we wanted to create a large, functional showering area.
