Classique Marble Biancone, Classique Marble Rosso Verona and Harlem Brick Light Grey - Bathroom Renovation by @SWLondon_Reno

Embracing Earth Tones - A Timeless Bathroom Renovation by @SWLondon_Reno

When it comes to bathroom design, the smallest details often make the biggest impact. This beautiful renovation by @SWLondon_Reno shows how carefully chosen tiles can transform a functional space into one full of charm and sophistication. With three distinct tile choices - each playing a unique role - this bathroom strikes the perfect balance between modern freshness and timeless appeal.

The Feature Wall: Subtle Texture with Harlem Brick Light Grey

The back wall of the bath and shower is clad in Harlem Brick Light Grey tiles. Their gently uneven surface and soft neutral tone add texture without overwhelming the space. Unlike flat tiles, these create depth and movement as natural light shifts throughout the day. The effect is calming, yet effortlessly stylish - a versatile backdrop that works beautifully with both traditional and contemporary bathroom fittings.

The Floor: A Classic Checkerboard Reimagined

One of the standout features of this renovation is the checkerboard floor, crafted from Classique Marble Biancone and Classique Marble Rosso Verona. This combination of warm creamy white and deep terracotta-red marble creates a striking contrast that feels both bold and classic. The design nods to timeless European interiors while still feeling fresh in a modern London home.

Checkerboard floors are enjoying a huge resurgence in bathroom design, and this project shows exactly why. They add character, drama, and a sense of heritage - yet remain versatile enough to complement sleek fixtures and subtle wall tones.

The Details that Tie it Together

The richness of the red-brown marble is echoed in the painted wood panelling, which grounds the scheme and enhances the warmth of the floor. Brass fittings and vintage-inspired lighting add another layer of luxury, elevating the design from simply functional to truly inspirational.

The result is a bathroom that feels curated and thoughtful - a place to linger rather than rush.
