The challenge
When we first stepped into David’s bathroom, it was clear the space was struggling under the weight of bulky fitted furniture and a small, boxed-in shower enclosure. The layout felt cramped and dated, lacking the serenity and style our client envisioned. The customers brief was simple but ambitious: he wanted a light, open, and elegant bathroom that would feel calm and contemporary every time he walked in.

The vision
To bring this vision to life, we proposed a full walk-in concealed shower paired with a double vanity unit featuring sunk-in basins. The material palette was carefully chosen to evoke warmth and sophistication — warm wood-effect tiles complemented by beige ceppo wall tiles and matching floor tiles to create a seamless, spa-like atmosphere.
The process
David began his journey with our complimentary home measuring service. After capturing all the necessary dimensions, we got to work designing a space that would maximize openness and flow. Key design decisions included:
- Walk-in shower with a minimal glass screen for a clean, unobtrusive look
- Recessed shelf within the shower wall for clutter-free storage
- Large-format wall tiles in subtle grey tones to enhance visual continuity
- Textured feature wall behind the shower to add depth and tactile warmth
The result
What was once a cluttered, outdated bathroom is now a contemporary retreat — a space designed for both function and comfort. The transformation speaks to the power of thoughtful design and quality materials, turning a once-cramped room into a calming sanctuary that David enjoys every day.

My wife and I chose Inspira due to the favourable reviews of satisfied customers. Our designer Molly guided us through the process, helping us to understand what was possible. She then presented a design for us to look at and we weren’t disappointed.
During the removal of the old bathroom and the construction of the new, the Inspira team kept the disruption to a minimum. James and his team never stopped and the end product was outstanding.
Our old 1970’s bathroom has been transformed into a modern stylish space to be proud of. Many thanks Inspira for all your hard work and creating a beautiful end product. Would not hesitate to recommend.
