Rowley Cottage
When Judith Arrowsmith from Thames Design was asked to design five bathrooms in a new-build family home, her vision was to tailor each room to suit its family member.
With uninterrupted views of the countryside, the main bathroom has been shaped to make the best of the natural light with an open plan layout and bright neutral shades using natural materials such as limestone, travertine and wood.
Bespoke wooden furniture creates a modern farmhouse style, whilst the luxurious curves of Samuel Heath’s hand-finished brassware gives the room a softer aesthetic. The Fairfield collection has been used throughout the room with Fairfield single lever taps on the double basin and a Fairfield bath/shower mixer for the bath.
Judith explains: “Good quality taps and showers are an extremely important feature in any bathroom and I chose Samuel Heath because as well as being aesthetically pleasing they have a tactile quality that makes them a pleasure to use.”
In contrast to the main bathroom, two matching ensuites use charcoal porcelain oversized tiles combined with Samuel Heath stainless steel taps and shower fittings for a sleek and stylish edge.
A simple design with a wet floor shower area keeps furniture to a minimal, whilst the external shower valves are located outside of the shower, allowing the user to personalise temperature settings.
On the opposite side of the house, the children’s ensuite uses chrome finished taps and showers to accompany a light palette of sky blues and snow whites, which maximise the light in the room.
The small, reflective tiles enhance the bright atmosphere of the room, which is increased by the spotlights in the shower cubicle and the select Samuel Heath accessories.
