A Masterpiece in Bathroom Design: Kensington’s Luxurious Sanctuary

Some projects leave an indelible mark, and this recently completed bathroom in a stunning Kensington home is one such example. Designed to be a space of elegance, tranquility, and functionality, every inch of this bathroom reflects meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship. From its breathtaking skylight to the beautifully brushed brass fittings, this project was an absolute pleasure to create—and even the family dog was impressed by the result!

This remarkable bathroom was brought to life by LOR Bathrooms, led by Laurence O'Riordan – Mr. LOR, Founder & Visionary Artisan. Laurence's expertise and vision were the driving force behind every aspect of this design, ensuring that the space not only met but exceeded the family's expectations.

1. Brushed Brass Elegance

The brushed brass fittings throughout the bathroom are a true statement of luxury. The soft, golden finish of the taps, showerhead, and even the smaller fixtures exudes a timeless sophistication while adding warmth to the clean, contemporary design. Every piece was chosen to harmonize perfectly, creating a cohesive look that elevates the space.

2. His-and-Hers Basins with a Tile-Base Touch

The bathroom’s double basin design combines convenience with style. Each basin is sleek and modern, sitting atop a custom base clad in the same large-format tiles used throughout the room. This continuity ties the elements together, blending practicality with a seamless aesthetic.

The tile base is more than just functional; it’s a centerpiece of the design. It mirrors the material used on the feature wall behind the bath, creating a harmonious flow while showcasing the beauty of the tiles.

3. Large-Format Tiles and a Stunning Feature Wall

The large-format tiles are a showstopper in their own right. With their smooth texture and subtle patterns, they create a modern yet inviting backdrop for the bathroom. One of the highlights is the feature wall behind the bath. Bathed in natural light from the skylight above, it becomes a dynamic focal point as the light shifts throughout the day, emphasizing the texture and color of the tiles.

4. Skylight Magic

The skylight positioned above the bath is more than just a source of natural light—it’s an architectural delight. It floods the room with soft daylight, making the space feel open and airy. The light cascading onto the feature wall creates an ever-changing interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the room’s serene ambiance.

5. Hidden Lighting for a Warm Glow

Beyond the natural light, hidden lighting was carefully integrated around the bathroom to add a subtle, sophisticated glow. The soft illumination highlights key features, such as the recessed shelving and under-basin tiles, while creating a tranquil atmosphere that’s perfect for unwinding after a long day.

6. Luxurious Shower Experience

In the corner of the bathroom, a sleek, smooth walk-in shower offers a spa-like experience. With its brushed brass rainfall showerhead and minimalist design, it perfectly balances practicality with indulgence. The consistent use of brushed brass fittings extends here as well, ensuring a flawless aesthetic throughout the room.

7. A Total Pleasure to Create

This project was more than just a bathroom renovation—it was an opportunity to bring a family’s vision to life. The combination of thoughtful design, exceptional materials, and the family’s trust made this an unforgettable experience. Every element, down to the smallest fittings, was designed to complement the room’s modern elegance.

Even the family dog seemed overwhelmed with joy upon seeing the finished result—a true testament to the warmth and charm this bathroom exudes.

Conclusion

This Kensington bathroom is a prime example of how design and functionality can come together to create something extraordinary. From the brushed brass accents to the skylight’s enchanting glow, every detail was crafted with care. The result? A serene, luxurious sanctuary that the family will enjoy for years to come.
