I am also pondering a more modern basin on an old table for one of the Italian bathrooms. Instead, vintage furniture and accessories fill the room making it a furnished room with a specific function and, as such, one you can adapt to your own colour and style. There’s no modern vanity, no sleek fittings. Points for the glass cabinet – remember on Friday I said they were everywhere – but also notice how this room has been decorated like a room with a loo and a basin in. There are no dado rails in Italy but when I first saw this I did wonder if it was a simple line of metro tiles. That said if you have a classic black and white floor tile you can do any colour you like and change it as often as you feel. I love the look of this one above although I have never been particularly attracted to this mint green shade.

There’s no doubt I’m preoccupied with bathrooms at the moment as the house in Italy has four – three are tiny – shower only and one is large enough for a free-standing bath which we plan to install by the window. If not then a curtain is a cheaper open and one that’s easier to install yourself.īathroom design by pearl lowe using Burlington Bathrooms We already had a door between the pantry and the kitchen so we replaced the door with one more in keeping but the framework was already there. It may be a while until it goes up given the current UK heat wave as well.īut, in short, I’m seeing curtains used more as room dividers and it’s a good way to bring colour and pattern to a room. It’s not finished yet but I think it will be cosy in winter and reduce noise between the two spaces. I bought some fabric from The Haines Collection which is a deep rusty red velvet for the hall side – I’m channeling Paris bistro – while the kitchen side is cotton patterned with tassels in shades of rust, gold and pink which ties in with the kitchen scheme.
We decided to remove that and make the opening taller, which, by the way, is a good way to make a room feel bigger and the ceiling higher. When it came to the dividing the hall from the kitchen there was no door there when we moved in and the previous owner had created a sort of gothic archway shape. I have mentioned before that I have rediscovered my sewing machine and have been adapting linen sheets for curtains and making cafe curtains from left over linen.
