1 Dressing room LED lighting above the wardrobes creates a feature when the doors are closed and illuminates the contents when open. 2 Display area Twin open shelves sit opposite the wardrobes and can be home to artwork or personal items. 3 Ensuite The surfaces are in the same Corian as the shower area niche. 4 Shower area The back wall is clad in dark grey herringbone Deli tiles by Porcelanosa and lit by ceiling spots to accentuate the difference in texture.

o create a luxurious and relaxing master suite, I first concentrated on designing a focal point in the main bedroom area. On


entering, the first thing you are presented with is the large low-level window. I placed two chairs in a rich green fabric either side, along with a striking chandelier, to add drama. This creates a great area to sit while your partner is getting ready or to relax with a book. Soſt wall lighting here would be best, as I find ceiling spotlights too harsh in a bedroom. “With the king-size bed opposite the window, I suggested a bespoke fabric headboard as wide as the wall, with downlights either side of the bed for beautiful but practical illumination. They hang


above modern handleless drawer units with ample storage. Meanwhile, a bold or dark colour on this wall creates contrast and helps draw the eye. “In the dressing room, I used floor-to-ceiling robe units from Trend Bedrooms in a light grey matt finish, which run along the entire back wall. The idea is to split them into ‘his and hers’ with mirrored doors in the centre. This section will not only bounce natural light around but also form a full-length mirror – essential to any dressing room. On the opposite wall, I included two drawer units for clothing that doesn’t require hanging, plus a dressing table to the leſt. Above is a round LED-lit mirror from Hib with adjustable warm-to-cool white lighting that’s perfect for applying make-up.


“ Soft greens and greys throughout the scheme promote a sense of calm.”

“For the ensuite I suggested a large walk-in enclosure with ceiling-mounted rain shower, hand shower and thermostatic valve. The area also has a floor-to-ceiling boxing with a Corian niche for soaps and bottles. A glass screen gives splash protection, but needs minimal cleaning and maintenance. The bespoke handleless basin drawer unit from Bard & Blackwood in a natural oak finish adds warmth to the light grey tiled scheme, along with Xtone countertops from Porcelanosa in Bottega, which match the wall tiles. To finish this area, I’ve included a sit-on basin from Ashton & Bentley for a luxury hotel-like feel, along with a wall-mounted basin mixer from Hansgrohe. “The soſt greens and greys throughout this scheme promote a sense of calm and wellbeing, especially when combined with the deep emerald, dark greys and light wood-effect flooring. I would also suggest touches of brass in the bedroom – it’s very on trend but I think it’s also a timeless finish.”
