A bright, neutral bathroom redesign for a family home in Clapham Common.
We replaced heavy finishes with soft, light-reflective materials, added hotel-style brassware and storage, and delivered everything remotely through our Premium Makeover package, saving time and money without compromising detail.
Design Approach
We brightened a large but dated bathroom by switching heavy stone for soft, light-reflective porcelain and a calm neutral palette. Brushed brass VOS tapware adds warmth, while a freestanding stone bath creates a boutique-hotel focal point in the corridor sightline. A recessed, LED-lit mirror cabinet increases storage and bounce-light without visual clutter. All selections were detailed in 2D plans and a procurement list so the build team could order and install with confidence.
Initial Discussions
Delighted with the generous footprint but craving a brighter, boutique-hotel feel, the client asked for a contemporary refresh. Working closely with the homeowner, our Akiva designer developed a complete scheme that amplifies natural light and delivers an immediate sense of luxury the moment you step in.
How We Achieved It
We mapped a practical, light-enhancing layout with clean lines and large-format neutral tiling to bounce light around the room. Brushed-brass fittings add warmth and a subtle boutique feel, while recessed, LED-lit cabinetry increases storage without visual bulk. Every element was detailed in 2D drawings and paired with a clear procurement list, making ordering and installation straightforward for a smooth, stress-free build.
