His-and-hers twin basins make this bathroom perfect for couples and families. The large mirror and glass shelf bring light into the room and help to maximise the impact of the bold purple paint.

6/7 Girl’s room

The look in this child's bedroom is predominantly pink, but not too girlie. The smart, sophisticated white on the walls acts as the perfect foil to the statement colours of the strong pink lampshades, bedlinen and the Audrey Hepburn print on the wall.
