Sage Green Bathroom
Featuring a raised wet room floor and bespoke design elements, this project required a full back-to-back renovation, new plumbing installations, plaster boarding, and meticulous attention to detail in both layout and material choices.
1. Renovation & Construction
Back-to-Brick Demolition:
-
The project began with stripping the bathroom back to its original brick structure to address any structural issues and provide a blank slate for the redesign.
-
Old plumbing and fixtures were removed entirely to allow for updated systems and ensure compatibility with modern appliances.
Raised Wet Room Floor:
-
A wet room area with raised floor was constructed to allow for proper drainage and plumbing installations
-
The gradient of the raised floor was carefully calculated to ensure water flows seamlessly into the concealed linear drain.
-
Waterproofing membranes were applied to the entire wet room area, creating a fully watertight environment to prevent any long-term water damage.
New Plumbing Installations:
-
A completely new plumbing system was installed to accommodate the repositioning of the shower, bath, and other fixtures.
-
Pipework was concealed behind walls and within the raised wet room floor to maintain a clean and modern aesthetic. o Black matte fixtures, including the rainfall showerhead and handheld shower attachment, were installed for a sleek and contemporary look.
-
Plumbing lines for the new toilet and sink needed to be re-routed to accommodate the new placement of fixtures.
Plaster Boarding and Surface Preparation:
-
The walls were plaster-boarded and skimmed to create smooth, even surfaces, ready for tiling and decorative panelling.
-
Thermal plaster boards were used where necessary to enhance insulation and energy efficiency
Fitting The Quartz vanity unit:
-
The white and grey marble quartz worktop was carefully placed on top of a white wooden vanity, it was secured in place using strong adhesive to ensure stability and prevent any shifting.
-
The countertops had precise cutouts for the under-mount sink, which was fitted into the same stone to provide a seamless look, with no visible edges or seams.
2. Design Details
Colour Palette and Materials:
-
The bathroom features a sophisticated forest green colour scheme, adding a calming and natural vibe to the space.
-
Panelling was installed around the bath and window areas, painted in a custom matched green shade to complement the rest of the room.
-
The tiled shower area contrasts beautifully with its muted grey metro tiles, arranged in a classic horizontal brick-lay pattern for timeless elegance.
Quartz work top:
-
The marble countertop was carefully selected for its luxurious appearance and durability.

Bath and Shower Area:

-
The adjacent wet room shower area is delineated with the raised floor and matte black fixtures, including a rainfall showerhead and wall-mounted controls for convenience.

-
The under-mount sink was carefully aligned and installed beneath the marble countertop. It was sealed around the edges to ensure there were no gaps where water could seep.
-
