A breathtaking luxury bathroom renovation completed for a private estate in Solihull — a project where the brief was simple: make it feel spacious, make it feel premium, and make it feel unlike anything else. Brief well and truly smashed.
The starting point was scale. Large format marble effect tiles were selected for the majority of wall surfaces — their expansive format eliminating unnecessary grout lines, visually enlarging the space and lending the bathroom a calm, uninterrupted elegance that smaller tiles simply cannot achieve. The veining runs consistently across every surface, creating a seamless, almost sculptural quality that elevates the entire room.

The feature wall is where the design truly announces itself. A bold 3D wall clad in rich green marble tile forms the dramatic backdrop to the floating vanity — a tactile, textured surface that catches light differently throughout the day and creates genuine visual depth. This is not a feature wall added as an afterthought; it is the architectural centrepiece around which everything else has been carefully composed.
Hanging off that feature wall is a fluted floating vanity unit — a beautifully crafted piece with fine vertical reeding that references both contemporary design trends and classical craftsmanship simultaneously. Atop it sits a sculptural oval vessel basin in gloss white, paired with fully concealed wall-mounted taps in a brushed brass finish — clean, precise, and completely flush to the tile surface. No exposed pipework, no visible fixings. Just pure form.
Above the basin, a pill-shaped LED backlit mirror casts a soft, even glow across the feature wall — illuminating the green marble beautifully and providing practical, flattering light at the vanity. LED strip lighting frames the feature wall on both sides, extending vertically from floor to ceiling and reinforcing the sense of height and architectural intention. The result is a bathroom that feels lit like a luxury hotel rather than a domestic space.
The shower area continues the commitment to detail. A frameless glass door opens into a fully tiled enclosure where large format marble effect tiles wrap every surface without interruption. A ceiling-mounted circular rainfall shower head in brushed brass delivers a genuinely immersive shower experience, complemented by a concealed thermostatic valve and a brass hand shower on a slider rail. The concealed controls sit flush to the tile — invisible until needed, and perfectly integrated when in use.
The standout detail within the shower is the illuminated niche — a recessed shelf carved into the wall and backlit to reveal a stunning onyx-effect tile at its rear. Framed in crisp white, it glows warmly against the cooler marble surround, functioning simultaneously as practical storage and a genuine piece of interior artistry. A brushed brass heated towel rail on the opposite wall completes the space, ensuring warmth and practicality are never an afterthought.
Throughout the entire bathroom, brushed brass has been applied as the single unifying finish — taps, shower fittings, towel rail, mirror frame, and accessories all speaking the same tonal language. Warm, understated, and unmistakably premium.
