Discover Emma Gurner’s Moroccan Paradise – Designed with R2 Bathrooms’ Platform Range
ondon-based interior designer Emma Gurner has brought her creative flair to bathroom design, with spectacular results. In her entry to the R2 Bathrooms Interior Design Challenge, Emma created a vibrant Moroccan-inspired family bathroom that marries playful character with practical innovation.
L The Interior Design Challenge
Emma was tasked with transforming a compact space using R2’s Platform furniture range. The brief: deliver a complete bathroom design including furniture, WC, shower or/and bath with integrated storage, lighting, mirrors, brassware and accessories,
all while respecting a modest £1,000 tiles, décor, paint and additional materials budget.
Platform: The Flexible Foundation Emma loved the Platform range, due to its modular adaptability and clean aesthetics. Available in both floor standing and wall mounted styles, the collection offers a variety of handle finishes, basin options and open shelf modules which are ideal for awkward layouts. She explained “It was really easy to work with, there were lots of size and colour options and I loved modular extras like shelving”.
Making a Moroccan Mood
Bold Moroccan Zellige tiles in warm ochre were Emma’s starting point. “I knew I wanted a playful floor to create a neutral base with warm ochre accents,” she recalls. The scheme was enhanced with a wood effect Platform vanity unit in Swiss Oak matched with wooden accessory accents, and blue paintwork to elevate the ochre. A velvet pink ottoman adds softness and personality, filling the room with unique character.
Mixing Modern with Classic
Elsewhere in Emma’s design is a mix of modern style and practicality. This includes the Fuse Freestanding bath and shower mixer and Fuse basin mixer, which combine modern looks with practical function. Both are finished in Brushed

Brass, further enhancing Emma’s warm accents. Finally, to give this small bathroom design a classy, hotel-style appearance Emma added a fluted circular basin to the Platform vanity unit.
Why This Design Works
Emma’s finished bathroom strikes a unique balance: a boldly patterned Moroccan floor, warm wooden tones, and rich colour highlights create a space that’s as stylish as it is functional. The Platform collection’s flexible configurations adapted perfectly to typical small bathroom proportions while offering seamless storage, clean lines and stylish, modern finishes.
Designing a bathroom doesn’t mean compromising on personality. Emma Gurner’s Moroccan-inspired sanctuary proves that with the right range, such as R2 Bathrooms’ Platform, you can transform even the smallest bathrooms into a stylish and functional space.
