Natural textures

From handmade tiles to exposed timbers, these bathrooms celebrate the beauty of tactility

THE CRAFTED LOOK

This serene space was designed by Alexis Soof with tiles from Clé. ‘Perfectly imperfect handcrafted tiles have a richness and character,’ says Clé senior creative director Sarah Lonsdale. ‘This shower is a winning combination of our Belgian reproduction terracotta with glamorous Weathered White zellige.’

RAW BEAUTY

The vision behind the Maison Delano Eden hotel started with pure materials, such as travertine and rare marble. ‘We wanted to immerse our guests in a welcoming and holistic space, creating a balance of contrasts,’ says the designer from Iconique Studio.

GOOD WOOD

This bathroom is in an 18th-century cottage with a modern extension. The flooring and bath surround are made from reclaimed planks, bringing texture to an otherwise monastic room. ‘The freestanding tub adds drama to the simple space,’ says the owner Louise.
