Historic Bathroom & Laundry Makeover
The Design Makeover Brief :
The house is a period home that has had numerous "decorating add ons" in its lifetime, most of them unsuccessful!
The service area has a spectacular view of the hills but was not utilized, it was cramped and the laundry was an afterthought, sitting beside the bath, and it was only a washing machine.
Therefore the aim was to make a more efficient bathroom / laundry area and to change the current décor to be in keeping with the period of the house.
Design Method:
We decided to combine all the services into one room. It now houses a wc, shower, bath, vanity unit and full laundry - washing machine, dryer and tub and storage.
This was achieved by relocating the hot water cylinder to the roof space, removing all the internal walls.
Removing the multiple layers of ceiling.
Opening up the back wall and putting in large bi-folding windows that opens up to the stunning view.
A stylish, light and efficient space had now been achieved.

This was the existing laundry / bathroom with the shower over the bath and the vanity unit on the opposite wall. This window was looking out to the view and not really showing it off to it's full potential.
Picture 3 The WC Room. This room housed the WC. The window is aluminium joinery and opaque glass. We therefore ended up with a higher ceiling than expected, a nice surprise making the new room more spacious. (picture 3) Historic Bathroom & Laundry Makeover Continued Next Page................. |
