Luxury Contemporary Bathroom Design, Leyton London
See how Akiva Projects transformed a Leyton apartment with a luxury hotel-style bathroom. Modern fittings, custom storage & award-winning UK interior design
Design Brief
Our client approached us to elevate their bathroom with a luxury contemporary redesign, including:
Creating a luxury contemporary concept with a sleek, minimalist edge
Introducing integrated storage solutions using recessed wall space
Sourcing premium finishes and fittings for a hotel-style feel
Coordinating installation to ensure every detail was executed correctly
This project was delivered fully remotely, using online design meetings and clear specifications, then installed to a high standard by one of our Akiva Approved Contractors.
Initial Discussions
Our clients — a young professional couple who had just purchased their first home approached us with a clear priority: start with the bathroom and set the tone for the rest of the property.
The existing space felt functional but uninspiring, with a bland palette, bulky fittings and very little personality. In our early conversations, they told us they wanted something that felt more considered and luxurious, like a boutique hotel bathroom calm, refined and easy to live with day to day.
We also discussed the importance of keeping the room feeling minimal and uncluttered, which naturally led to our focus on recessed storage, cleaner lines, and a more elevated material palette that would instantly lift the space.
Design Process
At Studio Akiva, we believe great design should feel exciting — not overwhelming.
Our process is intentionally structured to keep everything clear, efficient, and easy to manage, especially for busy homeowners who don’t have time to be on-site chasing deliveries or juggling multiple suppliers.
From the initial design consultation through to the final specification, we guide our clients through each decision with confidence — ensuring the space not only looks beautiful, but functions effortlessly day to day.
Because bathroom projects can quickly drift over budget or off schedule when details aren’t aligned, we provide design coordination once the concept has been signed off and before construction begins. This allows us to communicate directly with your chosen contractor, answer technical questions, clarify intent, and make sure the design is executed exactly as planned right down to the finishing touches.
Using our collaborative project portal, every selection, update, and decision is kept in one place. It gives clients a clear overview of progress and allows for smooth communication between all parties, without the usual back-and-forth.
During the COVID period, supply chains were unpredictable and delivery lead times were longer than usual. However, because we managed procurement, we were able to track orders closely, verify product details, and ensure everything arrived correctly and ready for installation. This removed a huge layer of stress for our clients, allowing them to focus on work and life — while we kept the project moving forward behind the scenes.
