The House that Jen Built

Discover how interiors maven Jen from The House that Jen Built worked with Roper Rhodes to transform her bathroom from cluttered and dark to peaceful and polished with subtle colour and lustrous brass.

Dated & drab

Before

Dominated by an outdated furniture run and an L-shape bath shower, the existing bathroom layout made the room seem small and crowded, while brown flooring and magnolia wall tiles darkened the room.

I find nothing more relaxing than a trip to a spa, so I wanted the bathroom to recreate that, complete with a walk-in shower and freestanding bath. Somewhere to escape to and relax at the end of a long day renovating.

Spacious & serene

After

Jen wanted to create a spa-like space to relax at the end of the day, with a walk-in shower, freestanding bath, soft, nature-inspired colours and brass detailing. The final look more than meets the original brief, making this once cramped, cluttered bathroom seem spacious and serene. Opting for brass fixtures, a green vanity, and soft colours, Jen added terracotta floors and white vertical zellige wall tiles to create texture and interest, while a large illuminated wall mirror completes the look.

I chose the System 600 Wall Mounted vanity unit in Juniper Green to give us some much-needed storage, brass fixtures for a touch of sophistication, and the 800 Play Bluetooth mirror which gives off a lovely varying glow and also connects to my phone to play relaxing music or a good audiobook while I’m soaking in the tub!
