Hove Bathroom
Bathrooms are often overlooked when it comes to design. They’re functional, compact, and sometimes left as “builder basic.” But with the right vision, even the narrowest, most uninspiring bathroom can be transformed into a statement space that blends luxury with personality.
That’s exactly what happened in this renovation project.
The Before: Functional but Lifeless
The original bathroom layout was practical—shower, toilet, basin—but lacked any sense of warmth or character. White walls, dated fittings, and dark tiles made the room feel narrow and unwelcoming. Despite having a decent footprint, the space didn’t make the most of its potential.

The Vision: Bold, Modern, and Unique
Rather than play it safe, this renovation leaned into bold design choices. The goal? To create a bathroom that didn’t just serve its purpose but also wowed anyone who stepped inside.
Key design ideas included:
• Maximising light with a large walk-in shower and frameless glass.
• Adding drama with statement monkey-print tiles.
• Introducing warmth through wood textures and brass accents.
• Balancing personality with practicality by keeping the layout functional while layering in striking design details.
The After: A Showstopper Bathroom
The result is a space that feels like stepping into a boutique hotel bathroom.
• The monkey-print tiles, with their lush tropical leaves and playful details, instantly transform the space, making it a true talking point of the home.
• A floating wooden vanity with a vessel sink adds natural warmth, complemented by sleek brass fixtures for a modern, luxurious edge.
• The walk-in shower, tiled in rich, glossy green with a rainfall showerhead, brings depth and texture. The brass hardware ties it seamlessly into the rest of the design.
• Finishing touches, such as a circular mirror, concealed lighting, and carefully chosen accessories, elevate the space further.
Why This Works
This renovation proves that a bathroom doesn’t need to be neutral to feel relaxing. By mixing bold patterned tiles with natural textures and high-quality finishes, the space achieves a balance between vibrant energy and everyday usability.
The clever use of decorative tiles in a wet room might surprise some, but when used thoughtfully, they’re a brilliant way to inject personality into a space that often feels clinical.
The Takeaway
If you’re considering a bathroom renovation, don’t shy away from bold design. A bathroom is a place you use every day—it should spark joy, not feel like an afterthought. With the right mix of practicality and daring choices, even the smallest or narrowest bathroom can become a highlight of your home.
