Bamboo beach in Long Ditton

Our clients brief was to have a bamboo beach vibe for the Family bathroom, inspired by their travels to Japan. Where bamboo symbolises strength, resilience and longevity in ancient Asian culture. Often associated with modesty and integrity.

To create the spa retreat feel, we created a large bespoke shower enclosure by Matki. Using bamboo colours in the wood effect tiles to incorporate a relaxing seating area. With kale green tiles within the recessed shelf, keeping the shower area clutter free.

 The basin area has been zoned, using Pottery kale green tiles. This compliments the recessed tiles in the shower, enhancing the bamboo feel enclosure. A deep single drawer unit finished in Parisian clay paint, creates plenty of storage with a soft accent. To enhance the Japanese look, we chose a circular basin from The London Basin Co. with bamboo design around the bowl.

Polished nickel finish brassware in the shower and the basin taps, elevate the design, creating accents of light across the room. This adds a luxurious feel and highlights the green and bamboo colour on the wood effect tiles.

Beneath the slope of the ceiling, two Dansani units, matching the colour of the basin, make use of an awkward space. We used under cabinet lighting to banish the dark corners.
