Family bathrooms (ie kids' bathrooms!) can look fabulous and be practical too. We kept the colour palette simple and used a more practical (and indestructible!) vanity. Paired with a very practical shaving mirror with loads of storage, this bathroom ticks all the boxes for both style and substance.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I created this space for my lovely clients who wanted a luxurious, timeless and elegant sanctuary that was a retreat from a busy life with two young boys. We went with a Hamptons style with a sophisticated twist. They were thrilled with the result which is what lights me up about what I do ☺️

What is your 'language of love'? For some people it's cooking, for others it's gift giving, words and touch. For me it's creating beauty and comfort in my home for my family. My children are used to coming home to find their rooms made over and even my two teenage boys tolerate it (cushions and full styling allowed only when we have guests!).
