Keen to make a bold design statement in the bathroom, the owners decided on glossy black wall and floor tiles, with white wall tiles for contrast. Worried that a monochrome scheme would look too masculine, they came up with the idea of creating a dramatic and colourful feature wall.
The red wall paint was from Dulux.

2/8 Bathroom before
Wanting a dramatic look, the owners transformed this dull bathroom into a statement space. To achieve the look, they removed an unwanted bidet and reworked the layout to create a modern en suite complete with walk-in shower and a glamorous vanity area with stacks of storage.
Overall cost: £4,620

3/8 Bathroom furniture
Wanting to avoid anything too modern so it wouldn't date, the couple went for a smart oak washstand with two basins, and a classic, decorative mirror.
The washstand and basins were from Anglia Essentials and the mirror was from Ayers & Graces.

4/8 Bathroom radiator
The sleek radiator was chosen to tie in with the silver mirror. Its shiny surface bounces light around the room and is a modern contrast to the warmth of the wood and red wall.
The radiator was from Victoria Plumb and the mixer taps were from iBathUK.
5/8 Bathroom accessories
Black, red and white accessories, such as towels and candles, help to pull all the elements of this bathroom together to create one glamorous look.
All towels were from Christy and the black accessory set was from Next.
6/8 Frameless shower screen
One end of the room was tanked, and a simple, frameless shower screen was fitted to achieve a wet room look. The look is now similar to that found in a luxurious hotel spa.
The wall and floor tiles were from Tile HQ.
7/8 Black and white tiles
The owners mixed oversized black and white porcelain tiles for a bold contrast in the walk-in shower. The glossy sheen on them helps to open up the space.
The digital shower and remote control were from Aqualisa.
8/8 Modern shower
The owners treated themselves to an ultra modern and luxurious shower with built-in LED lighting. The square shape creates a rainfall effect with the water, providing a luxurious spa-like feel.
The shower head was from Ergonomic Designs.
