BRIEF To update and redesign the master suite in an impressive but dated Victorian country house.
LAYOUT The original main bedroom, bathroom and a guest room were combined to create this rear garden-facing suite.
BIGGEST CHALLENGE Long lead times and staggered installations meant the project to upgrade the whole house took over three years.

It's rare to achieve that elusive balance of serenity and drama in any room, never mind a bathroom. Stray too far towards drama and you'll never be able to relax. Aim for serene and you might land on dull. It isn't impossible, though, as this bathroom by interior design studio Pan's Lodge proves. The secret, as ever, is in the attention to detail and the quality of the materials used.
It is part of a hefty renovation of an eight-bedroom Victorian country house in Buckinghamshire. Interior designer Carmen Evans, founder of Pan's Lodge, describes the brief: “The owner has classical tastes with a bit of a modern touch, and they wanted a something luxurious that would also stand the test of time."

You might think the process is purely creative, but designing knitted textiles requires a deep understanding of geometry and pattern calculations. It is intricate and often mathematical. I have learned that knitting demands a constant balance between artistry and engineering. Creating a new textile involves not only selecting colours and yarns but also considering the tensile strength, elasticity and drape of the material. That way, I ensure the final product is both aesthetically pleasing and functional. To me, this blend of creativity and technical precision is a fascinating aspect of knitted textile design.
