Phase 3: Master Suite & Dressing Rooms

Maximising the potential of a period property

The final part of the masterplan. A sanctuary that brings the outside in. His and hers spaces and a tub with the wow factor.

Sector: Residential
Style: Classic Contemporary
Location: North Wales, UK
Status: Completed 2023

This Georgian house redesign focused on giving the family rooms they would love to live in. It went beyond the aesthetic, focusing on flow, practicality and maximising the opportunities this period property offered.

When our interior design studio sat down with the clients, we quickly understood that they were looking for spaces where they could relax and retreat.

So our architectural designers remodelled the former guest suite and master bedroom into a luxurious master with ensuite and two dressing rooms.

The big bathroom gave us the opportunity to create clever zones and his and hers spaces. A large shower and WC were hidden by separate smoked bronze glass doors and his and hers vanity with bespoke mirrors gave the room a classic elegance (and handy storage).

We wanted the bathroom to feel luxurious, not sterile so the team designed panelling to dress the main walls which also allowed a secret door into ‘his’ dressing room.

‘Her’ dressing room turned the decadence dial up a notch. We used inset leather wardrobe doors and bronze inlay offset with subtle uplighting to give the space a boutique feel.

Neutral-toned master bedroom with a large upholstered headboard framed in wood, grey floral wallpaper, a neatly made bed layered with patterned cushions, wooden bedside tables with lamps, an overhead chandelier and a wide window with floor-length curtains.

A restful colour palette was introduced to the master bedroom and complemented with limed oak that carried through into the ensuite to create a cohesive flow.

Double-sink bathroom vanity with a marble countertop, two tall wood-framed mirrors flanked by brass wall sconces, matte-black faucets and a mounted round magnifying mirror, with dark metal towel racks holding folded white towels.
Marble bathroom countertop with an undermount white sink, dark bronze curved faucet and separate lever handles, a wood-framed mirror above, and folded grey towels with a glass toiletry bottle to the left.

Throughout the project we wanted to maximise the incredible views from the lodge and positioning the contemporary freestanding bath so it enjoys uninterrupted garden views gives the ensuite a real wow factor.
