Bathroom In Harefield

Mr Ghai's Bathroom in Harefield

The client was after something completely different in their bathroom and was very open my creativity "says Gary"

The beginning brief for this room was simple... Make it stunning with 2 basins... so that is exactly what we did. We completely spun this bathroom on its head which completely blew the client away during the design consultation.

When you understand the capabilities of your installation team, it gives you a lot more freedom to understand how creative you can be. So we moved the shower to the complete opposite end of the room, which was a lot of plumbing but worth it in the end.

We managed to get the wet room in place, the false wall for the tiled and illuminated recess but most importantly the his and hers basin which was top of the bill in the brief.

The room was fully tiled with a consistent coloured porcelain tile but we used a feature tile in the shower are to really define the walk in wet room area. We also created a false wall behind the basins so that they were brought out from the sloping ceiling but instead of wasting that space we utilised it bu putting in two beautiful illuminated recessed cabinets.

The end results were stunning and the client you loved the whole process and transformation of their new amazing bathroom.

Bathroom in Harpenden

Mr Dailey's Bathroom in Harpenden 

Working with smaller rooms sometimes bring out the best in me "says Gary" as you can get really creative with all the new products on the market as well as knowing the skill level of your installation team.

The client wanted a change but just could not vision this for himself and thought everything would just have to go back in its original position. But this is not always the case and when you are offered a challenge to do something with a room that's exactly what was done. believe it or not we even made the room smaller which was met with horror when the client 1st got told this but when the designs were presented during the design consultation he rested assured and was blown away with the changes to his bathroom and cloakroom.

In this bathroom we created a false wall to hide the cistern and give us nice clean lines but what else that was amazing was the illuminated recessed mirror cabinet once again utilising the false wall that was created along with the tiled recesses for the daily shampoo and shower gel's.

Sometimes there is always a sacrifice that has to be made in a bathroom and usually that is either the bath under the window or the basin and no mirror. In this case the client opted for the bath under the window so that he could have his beautiful mirror cabinet.

A beautiful fully tiled, modern bathroom was created and the end results speak for themselves.

We kept the same theme for the cloakroom downstairs but this was more about keeping it clean and fresh with storage options and that is why we opted for the fitted furniture in reduced depth. This kept all pipework hidden and give the client a slick room to show off to family and friends, when they visited.

Bathroom in Hertfordshire

After a few weeks of looking around different bathroom providers, we came across Gary Fullwood - Designed Living. From start to finish Gary and his team made us welcome and kept us informed throughout the process which unfortunately was delayed by a few weeks because of the Corona Virus lock down. I can't speak highly enough of this company, From Gary's infectious enthusiasm, to his brilliant design, Feargus the project manager who kept the show on the road, and kept us fully informed of all aspects of the build and Miro the builder who's amazing skills worked around us to transform a tired bathroom into something that looks and feels amazing, never leaving us with a mess or a Toilet at any time during the build. I don't normally recommend products or companies, Gary Fullwood - Designed Living goes the extra mile in designing to your needs and the customer care afforded from everyone in Gary's team is second to none. If I ever need another bathroom fitted Gary Fullwood - Designed Living is the company I would go for every time. Thank you Gary, Feargus and Mero for an exceptional bathroom both of us. Chris and Tony.

Family Bathroom in Gerrards Cross

This whole project of 3 bathrooms and a cloakroom was amazing start to finish. Lots of hard work and research went into these to make sure we had the right layout and design first of all and then it was all about the colours and products.

The first part of the journey was establishing a quick brief from the client in terms of style, that's all Gary needed to get started because then there are no restrictions on what can be created. Gary then opened up what was possible from each of the rooms and presented the designs to the client during their 1st design consultation meeting. After that it is working in tandem and as a partnership with the client to make sure all the products are what fit in with the look and style of the home.

We worked hard with a lot of the plumbing in the rooms to make sure we could have the wet rooms and also walls needed to be built in enable us to create the recesses in the walls for the daily shampoo's and shower gels. These are amazing features in the bathrooms especially when we added the LED mood lighting.

In the Family bathroom we created a step feature leading up to the bath along with the long rectangle recess to really show off the luxury feeling in this room.

We kept a consistency of colour with all the rooms and used a beautiful dark porcelain tile throughout and then paid special attention to the lighting plan to make sure each room was lit perfectly day and night.

We worked closely every day with the client to make sure everything was how it should be and that every detail was attended to throughout the whole journey.

One significant factor in our choice of using Gary was the fact that he would undertake all the building work, electrics, installation, tiling and decorating rather than the need for us to find contractors to do this. Something that other companies weren't offering.

There were a few hiccups along the way but only to be expected given the age of the house.

Luxurious Cloakroom In Gerrards Cross

Mrs Dorkin's Cloakroom from Gerrards Cross

The amazing thing about this cloakroom was the interaction from the client and how creative she wanted to be with this room. When it comes to cloakrooms a lot of clients love this to be a bit of a show piece as it's the one room that all family members and guests see and use when they visit.

On this particular project me and the client done a lot of research in what would be an amazing, eye catching and dramatic room, says Gary.

We 1st had to chose the type of product regarding the basin, toilet and heated towel warmer, because with a lot of cloakrooms the design lends itself due to the actual size of the room. Then it was all about the colour scheme and theme of the room. The client had seen this wallpaper and just fell in love with it, so the next phase was all about should we tile or not and if so how much and where? Once we had decided on the the tiling and the amount, it was just then about what colour would best compliment the wallpaper and really make that pop. As you can see by the end results, we chose a blue that had a like 2 tone effect to it so we were not stuck with one solid colour. With the floor we chose a porcelain wood effect tile as this also replicated the nice big entrance hall to the clients home, so when the cloakroom door was open there was a natural flow in.

The installation has to be perfect when trying to achieve these types of rooms but i just love it when you have clients who are bold and brave but also want to have a little fun with their downstairs cloakrooms, says Gary.

Luxurious Pink Bathroom in Rickmansworth

Mr & Mrs Prickett's Bathroom in Rickmansworth

The original en suite before was a little dated with a 1970s decor. Our clients wanted to keep a pink theme to ensure it matches with their bedroom. We ensured this by having pink painted walls with a white and grey marble tile for a modern effect. These colours also lighten up the room allowing it to more spacious. We created recessed shelves in the wall with hidden lighting for a feature as well as storage space in the shower and behind the bath.

Our client was most pleased with the transformation.
