Soak in Style are delighted to announce that
Catriona Lock, our newly promoted Creative Director, has been awarded a
Highly Commended Certificate from
Designer Magazine in the Bathroom Design £15K+ category 2011.
Catriona says "This was a great bathroom to work on as the space was like a large empty shell. There were very few restrictions, only where the soil stack was and the customers taste.
The brief was to create a fantastic bathroom that was a great space to relax in as well as bright and energising at the start of the day. The couple are without children and are in their 40s so something stylish was important. As the main bathroom in the house it would be seen by their friends and it was important it reflected their taste and interests. However, they were nervous of doing anything too daring with colour or finishes, so I had to create a stunning factor with the space itself.
I am thrilled with the end result as I feel the room flows beautifully and a harmonious space has definitely been created. The fact that we have been able to use two rooms into one is fantastic and I felt I have used the space very well to give the clients wow factor from negative space, as well as positive. The lighting of the mirror cabinet and recesses above the toilet create clever shadows which dance within the room and add a fantastic intensity to the space. I also added a waterproof television for the gadget hungry man in the household, and recesses in the shower for the clutter conscious woman. The atmosphere that is created in this space at different times of the day is also fascinating as the two large windows bring in a lot of natural light, but at night the artificial lighting brings the room alive".
