Client & Brief
Our client envisioned a sleek, modern bathroom retreat that balanced bold statement finishes with a practical, space-efficient design. The request was clear: create a contemporary, luxurious walk-in shower space with standout feature walls, high functionality, and a calming yet distinctive colour scheme.
The goal was to transform a compact bathroom into a sophisticated sanctuary, combining elegance with smart spatial planning.

Project Scope & Key Challenge
The project involved a narrow layout which posed the challenge of maximising both storage and comfort without compromising on visual appeal. Every element had to fit seamlessly into the available space while still creating a feeling of openness.
Key challenges included:
Working within the compact footprint to maintain a spacious atmosphere.
Designing a bold feature wall without overpowering the space.
Integrating storage solutions in a minimalist way.
Balancing luxury finishes with functional fixtures.
Design Concept & Style
The final design is a modern-luxury bathroom defined by a striking green marble-effect feature wall with dramatic veining in shades of olive, black, and cream. This wall creates a sense of movement and becomes the focal point of the walk-in shower.
Colour Scheme: Muted neutrals (soft whites and light greys) balanced with bold green-black marble tones. The palette ensures serenity while giving the space character and depth.
Fixtures & Fittings:
Wall-mounted vanity in matte black with slim gold detailing for a sleek finish.
Floating WC for a clean-lined, modern aesthetic.
Bespoke open shelving integrated into the feature wall for display and functionality.
Brushed gold accents in the shower fittings, towel rail, and trims to introduce warmth and understated glamour.
Lighting: A layered lighting scheme combines recessed ceiling spots with a statement pendant and backlit vanity mirror, adding both functionality and ambience.

Finishes & Materials
Walls & Floors: Large-format porcelain tiles in soft neutral tones enhance the feeling of spaciousness.
Feature Wall: High-impact marble-effect slab with green veining, creating drama and luxury.
Metallic Accents: Brushed gold fixtures provide cohesion across fittings.
Joinery: Floating vanity with concealed storage maintains the uncluttered aesthetic.
Outcome
The finished bathroom successfully merges a bold contemporary style with practical luxury. Despite the narrow footprint, the space feels light, open, and high-end. The striking feature wall adds individuality, while the minimalistic layout ensures everyday functionality.
This luxury Walk-In Shower Bathroom is proof that small bathrooms can be both dramatic and functional, setting a new standard for compact luxury design.
