To maintain a grounded, calm yet uplifting feel, the rich-hued zellige-effect tiles were used on the lower half of the wall only, except for in the shower, where they create a jewel-box effect. Underfloor heating provides essential warmth amid the expanses of tiles, while the powerful rain shower elevates everyone’s morning routine. matki.co.uk | capietra.com | mandarinstone.com | bcdesigns.co.uk
A muted modernist aesthetic to enhance a light and airy room
Influenced by the muted still lifes of Giorgio Morandi, this room fuses heritage and modernist influences with delicate hues
Thanks to its Carrara marble cladding and hint-of-yellow walls reminiscent of a sunlit Italian morning, this bathroom has all the luminosity of a still life by the 20th-century artist Giorgio Morandi. The room’s clean lines – created with a combination of carved marble panels and matching brick-shaped tiles in the open shower – feel modernist in inspiration; set against Lefroy Brooks’ ‘1900’ brassware, the effect is of a timeless space that’s been there for centuries. The unlacquered brass fittings have a natural patina that catches the light, while their vintage silhouettes lend elegance to a ‘Charterhouse’ pedestal basin and classic loo, both also from Lefroy Brooks’ collection.
