BATHED IN BEAUTY
FEATURE KATY MCLEAN PHOTOGRAPH FRANCOIS HALARD
Often, bathrooms are decorated with practical concerns in mind, rarely straying from sleek, easy-to-clean surfaces. Here elements usually seen in living rooms have been brought together to create a decorative, indulgent bathroom. Largescale floral fabric covers the walls and ceiling, providing a delightful pattern to look at whilst luxuriating in the bath. A repurposed antique console creates a bespoke, luxurious vanity, lighting choices and framed pictures add another layer of comfort and decadence, whilst a rug offers warmth and pattern underfoot. Still perfectly practical, yet utterly enticing. Indian Arbre fabric, £210 a metre, Schumacher
