Case study: Aunty Doe's bathroom, Barrowford

Aunty Doe fell in love with Aunty Dotty's bathroom when it was completed fifteen years ago. When her turn came, she wanted something very similar — same sparkle black floor energy, same crisp whites — but with a unique twist of her own.

The brief

Keep the spirit of Dotty's classic black-and-white bathroom, then make it unmistakably Doe's: bold teal herringbone tiling in the shower, a matching accent band around the room, bath and shower in one practical layout, and chrome detailing throughout.

The twist

Where Dotty's room stayed monochrome, Doe's bathroom introduces deep teal subway tiles in a vertical herringbone inside the enclosure — carried as a single feature strip through the rest of the space. Same family of ideas. Completely her personality.

The result

A bathroom that nods to a family favourite from fifteen years ago, then stands on its own — bright, practical, and full of character.
