PROJECT DETAILS

WHO LIVES HERE? Louise Richardson and her husband Steve Lancefield.

THE PROJECT Relocating a bathroom in a two-bed Victorian house in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire.

TOTAL COST £5,148

THE PROBLEM

The original downstairs bathroom was cold, damp and utterly uninviting

THE SOLUTION

‘Our first job was to move the downstairs bathroom to a more convenient spot upstairs; fortunately, an unused bedroom was ideal.

With the room feeling lovely and bright thanks to the two large windows, we knew it would cope with a dark, rich palette, so we teamed slate-effect floor tiles with light grey brick tiles, and painted the walls, woodwork and ceiling in Little Greene’s Lamp Black – a stunning inky colour that has real depth.
