Project London in The Telegraph: Rethinking Bathroom Design
What makes a bathroom feel considered rather than simply functional? It often comes down to the decisions that are easiest to overlook. The materials we choose, where we use them and how they work together can completely change the character of a space.
Our Head of Interior Design, Marcelina Janiszewska, recently shared her perspective in The Telegraph as part of its feature, Redoing your bathroom? Here’s what’s naff and what’s not. The article explores the bathroom design choices worth reconsidering, from floor-to-ceiling tiling to finishes that can leave a room feeling cold and impersonal.
At Project London, we believe good design starts with understanding the space, rather than working through a checklist of trends. As Marcelina explains in the feature, “I prefer to tile only where it is necessary”, using other finishes elsewhere to bring warmth and character into the room.
It is a simple principle, but an important one. A bathroom doesn’t need every surface covered in the same material to feel cohesive. Sometimes, allowing a beautiful tile to stand alongside a carefully chosen paint colour or wallpaper creates a more interesting result.
The same thinking applies to the wider design. Every finish should have a reason for being there, contributing to the overall scheme without competing for attention. The aim is to create a bathroom that feels connected to the rest of the home, works for everyday life and reflects the people who use it.
We’re pleased to see Marcelina’s perspective included in this conversation, and to share a little more about the thinking behind our approach to interior design.
