BATHROOM, EN SUITE & CLOAKROOM SPACE OPTIMISATION

[Karan]:  As we're a family of four and our current abode doesn't accommodate our collective hobby of cat swinging (I'M KIDDING!), we recently explored the possibility of moving house - ultimately we didn't because we could only get £5 and a cheese sandwich for our own home, due to the recession and all, but that's a rant for another day.

During our quest, I was stunned with how small some of the "family" bathrooms were - you'd have had to have known each other pretty well to have shared such a small space together, that's for sure - my mind boggled at the prospect of having to bath two young children!  Ian was less shocked; well he would be wouldn't he?  Due to the nature of his work, Ian has the privilege of seeing inside a lot of people's homes, and has a more realistic idea of what space is widely available these days.  Our own bathroom was originally built downstairs - as they often were in ye olden times - but we converted a bedroom to give us a reasonably sized bathroom - certainly a very comfortable family bathroom; so my frame of reference is obviously skewed.
With the consent of our Clients, Ian started taking photos of some of the smaller bathroom installations he has completed, which left me very impressed not only with his talent for space optimisation, but also with the beautiful design of the bathroom components too, notably the corner toilets - what a great idea!  Ian's done his fair share of en suites and cloakrooms too, most of which are comparatively compact spaces, but they have been made completely functional because of a little design genius, combined with inspirational products.

If you'd like to meet with Ian and learn how he may be able to optimise your bathroom, en suite or cloakroom, please give me a call on Kettering (01536) 415280, and I'll be delighted to make an appointment.
