MOROCCAN MOVES

Forget perfectly flat gloss tiles, shimmering zellige designs yield a more sophisticated way to bring texture into your bathing space. 'Zellige-style tiles provide a subtle shimmer that undulates rather than dazzles,' says Louisa Morgan, creative director, Mandarin Stone. Celebrated for their imperfect, artisanal appearance, Moroccan-influenced zellige tiles pair well with other rustic materials, such as untreated timber and raw concrete. If you're using zellige-style tiles to create one dramatic feature wall, be sure to pitch it adjacent to a window, or wash with downlights, to emphasise the light reflecting and refracting across their irregular surface contours,' adds Louisa.

TOUCH STONE

Textured surfaces are not solely about looks; functionality also comes into play. 'For bathrooms especially, it's important to approach materiality from both a practical and aesthetic perspective, agrees Deborah Bass, creative director of Base Interior. In this wet room, hammered limestone on the floor provides non-slip qualities, while the smooth stone on the walls that host brassware make it easier to achieve tight joints between the fittings and tile. "The split-face Catalunyan limestone wall, which is clear of fittings, creates the perfect stony backdrop to the cascading water from the shower head - adding a cave-like ambience in this windowless room.

A similar wet room designed by Base Interior would start from £25,000
