WOW FACTOR: DRAMATIC COLOUR

In this London townhouse renovation

designer Suzy Hoodless was tasked with

creating a “Parisian apartment meets

glamorous London home” look. “We

went bold throughout so the powder

room is a condensed version of the rest of

the home” says Suzy. Taking full

advantage of the homeowners’ love of

dark hues she used a chalky black paint

on the walls and ceiling which expands

the space and lets the handmade

Moroccan tile flooring and golden

fixtures take centre stage.

THE DETAILS: Faced with tight spacing

through the door and around the toilet

Suzy chose a hidden pocket door to close

off the powder room from a vestibule.

And by mounting the sconces vertically

she was able to fit two of them bringing

more light to the dark space. Her

favourite element? “The wall-hung

marble basin is a real showpiece” she

says. Its deep trough and wall-mounted

faucet provide an extra dose of luxury

even in such a small space. Wall colour

Off-Black (57) Farrow & Ball; Carrara

marble basin Agape.

We love the se

unexpected

metal basin

supports!
