The bathroom is approached through a dressing room where a specialist paint finish has been used to achieve the look of antique panels of inlaid wood. It would have been lavish to have used real marquetry, but in reality it takes a hundred years to look this good. The whole atmosphere is designed to feel restful, calming and luxuriously comfortable. Texture is the key word when it comes to decorating bathrooms. This one is a combination of honed marble fittings, slightly rough polished plaster walls, antique Jerusalem stone on the floor and distressed mosaic tiles.
