“When our clients renovated the

bathroom of their Cape Town house,

all they asked for was a large shower,”

recall designers Stacey Russell and Kyle

Coetzee of House2Home. “Because we

had complete creative freedom, this was a

dream project.”

To give the room an open look, the

shower is enclosed by a single glass

screen. “The angle of the showerhead

prevents water from splashing on the

rest of the floor,” says Stacey. “And you

hardly notice the screen is there.”

Inspired by the aqua and bronze

wallpaper in the adjoining bedroom,

the walls were clad in matching aqua

tiles. “We continued them on the lower

sections of the walls, which makes the

room appear wider,” explains Stacey.

Complementing the tiles are a bronze

vintage-style showerhead, mixer, towel

rail and the custom-made arm and

brackets supporting the glass shower

screen. To give the room visual warmth,

they chose wood-look ceramic tiles for

the floor.
