They have also used a calming palette of functional colours. The warm buttery yellow ceiling and the lilac tiled plinth make the space appear larger due to complimentary colours visually pushing apart. This spaciousness is accentuated by the curved edges to the sides of the room, which mean our eyes do not see corners. The curved edges also hide soil pipes and ventilation runs, making the space easier to clean. Overall, this ensures that the bathroom feels both spatially and functionally generous.
Curved D-Tiles create a soft but durable interior space. They are raised across the floor, providing a foot massage as you walk to the bath. There is also tile-clad bench to rest on or sit while bathing children. The tiles are warmed by underfloor heating, with hooks to dry towels on. The versatility of the tiles is further demonstrated by their ability to create book rests for reading, storage space and plant pots.
The upper wall finishes reduce mould by employing natural plaster. This is coupled with a high-quality ventilation system, as well as carbon filters to tackle particle matter, and a UV system to deal with airborne bacteria.
Warm dimmable LED lighting supports our circadian rhythm, creates a relaxing atmosphere, and removes the need for candles, which can release carcinogenic toxins and soot when burnt. Using red wavelength LED light instead of traditional white light at night has been proven to improve sleep, melatonin level, and performance the following day.
The benefits of indoor plants have been scientifically shown to improve air quality and mood, while reducing stress levels, blood pressure and fatigue. They can also remove VOCs, and we have included a range of plants, including common ivy, Boston fern, banana and aloe vera, which all enjoy the warm moist atmosphere of bathrooms.
