THE ROOM STUDY · ROOMS
Bathrooms, considered.
A good bathroom makes space for the way you live. Explore quiet retreats, confident colour and rooms that earn their keep on a busy morning. Each study unpacks the layout, materials and details, with pieces to explore in the Shop.
The colour-drenched bathroom
Teal wraps the walls and ceiling around white ceramics and an oak vanity. A swimmer’s portrait brings wit to the dry wall, giving this compact bathroom the character of a furnished room.

Leave the middle empty
There is a temptation, with a bathroom this generous, to keep adding things. Leaving the middle empty is more useful. The bath, double vanity and shower each have a place, with room to walk between them and open a drawer.

The classic bathroom without the pastiche
A period bathroom with tall proportions, antique-oak storage and a restrained checkerboard floor. A roll-top bath shares the room with simple modern taps and a separate shower.

The family bathroom that survives the morning rush
Deep blue-green, useful storage and clear morning light give this family bathroom its confidence. A fitted bath and separate shower make room for different routines.
Explore the room
Aubergine beside the bath
The bathroom doesn't have to be the room where your nerve gives out. A substantial aubergine wall puts colour behind the white bath and oak-finish vanity. Pale stone keeps the shower and floor easy to see, so the dark paint can have its full effect.

The minimalist bathroom with substance
The gap between bath and basin is where someone dries off, opens a drawer and gets ready. This bathroom keeps that space instead of spending it on another fitting.
Explore the room
The indigo attic bathroom
Standing at the basin requires the height that lying in a bath does not. This attic gives each fitting the appropriate part of the slope, with indigo tile below the white roof plane.

Oxblood, behind the smallest door
A small downstairs loo can take a large decorating decision. Oxblood walls, bright porcelain and a pink floral print give this cloakroom its character; compact fittings leave room for the person using it.
Explore the room
A bathroom with elbow room
The best fitting here is the space between the fittings. A long shower, a two-drawer basin unit and a timber bench give this bungalow bathroom a more generous daily routine.
Explore the room
An en-suite with dressing-room manners
An en-suite deserves more than whatever fittings happen to fit. Pink tile, a walnut-effect drawer and a proper place for a wash bag make this narrow room feel part of the bedroom.
Explore the room
A yellow bathroom with a dark hem
White bath. White basin. A room that can feel like a row of separate purchases. Here, oxblood tiles run beneath butter-yellow walls and across the bath apron, giving familiar fittings a much more assured setting.
Explore the room
The dry side of the bathroom
A towel and clean clothes need somewhere outside the shower. The timber bench gives this bathroom a dry dressing place, with glass marking the wetter part of the plan.
Explore the room
Lilac above the white tile
Lilac takes the upper walls, while white tile meets the bath and basin. The colour can change the room without requiring every towel and fitting to follow it.

From dressing room to bathroom
The morning routine begins before anyone reaches the bath. Dressing storage stays on the other side of the doorway, leaving a long vanity wall for the things that belong at the sink. Two mirrors give that wall a useful rhythm. Farther in, the tub and shower have their own quieter end. The floor between them is deliberately uneventful: somewhere to pass, dry off and get on with the day.

A guest bath that explains itself
A visitor should not need a tour of the bathroom. Here the towel is easy to find, the counter has room for a wash bag and the shower sits plainly to one side. Green boards give the room a little of the coastal house’s character without borrowing a single nautical prop. The brown cabinet puts a drawer directly below the daily routine.

Vermilion behind the powder-room door
The doorway contains the vermilion. Inside this brownstone powder room, a black drawer unit takes the supplies and a thin gold mirror adds detail without taking standing space.
Explore the room
The bathroom with two timetables
Somebody always needs the sink before somebody else has finished. This bathroom gives the routines separate doors. Two basins sit in the bright front room; the shower and toilet have a compartment of their own. Blue tile supplies the character, while a pair of yellow towels is enough to make the room feel cheerful before the school run.
Explore the room
A blue tub beside the morning rush
Two people can be getting ready at once without needing two of everything. Here, the double vanity does the weekday work while a blue tub occupies a quieter side of the room. Pale yellow surrounds the blue tub, leaving the white fixtures distinct. There is space to pass behind someone at the sink, and a closed door for the things that need privacy. The luxury is partly what the plan lets happen at the same time.

A good bathroom for whoever is staying
A guest brings a wash bag, a preferred way of doing things and very little knowledge of the cupboards. This bathroom leaves room for all three. The counter stays clear, fresh linen has a proper home and the bath can double as a shower. Plum-brown paneling gives the pale fittings an outline; the oak-grain cabinet keeps the room from feeling borrowed.

Past the vanity, towards the bath
Drawers and mirrors belong near the dressing area, where the morning starts. Farther in, the tub sits beyond the passing traffic. The aisle between them lets one person keep moving while another stays put.

Unpack in the coral guest bath
The counter leaves room for a wash bag, and fresh towels have a visible shelf. Coral surrounds this Lowcountry guest bathroom's white vanity, with the shower kept to its own tiled end.
Explore the room
A little ceremony by the front hall
The front hall does not need another grand gesture. In the small room beside it, chocolate walls make a white basin feel quietly deliberate. A few gold lines and a pair of warm lights are enough detail. The practical things disappear into drawers, leaving a visitor space to wash their hands and return to the table.
Explore the room
Daylight above the green tub
A high window leaves the wall below available for the green tub. Two basins take the working side, with enough open floor between them for one person to pass another.
Explore the room
A blue-gray shower for the guest
A hand shower helps with washing the enclosure as well as using it. This guest bathroom gives that everyday fitting a clear blue-gray end, with a navy drawer unit keeping the approach free of supplies.
Explore the room
A bright room in a thick wall
The window reveal is almost a piece of furniture. Light rests on its deep ledge, leaving the small basin wall free for peach. A compact cabinet preserves standing space below; the ledge can stay empty.
Explore the room
Bathing beside the trees
The garden runs beside the room rather than waiting at its far end. A white tub turns toward that sideways view; the basins stay together on the opposite wall. Screening does the unglamorous work that makes the openness possible. The result feels connected to the trees without asking the rest of the house to look in.
Explore the room
The guest bath under the rooflight
The daylight arrives from the roof because there is no useful side outlook to borrow. A deep white shaft carries it down into the middle of the room. Below, the shower gets the far end and the small cabinet gets a violet wall. Nothing pretends the neighboring house has vanished.

One bathroom, different routines
The family can share a bathroom without sharing every moment of it. Bathing happens behind a door; toothbrushing and the search for a clean towel can carry on outside. A longer counter gives the small daily objects somewhere to land. Mint and blue make the arrangement feel cheerful without asking it to be precious.
