Key highlights include:

  • Marble – prized for its natural veining and depth, creating statement vanities in luxury bathrooms.

  • Soapstone & Quartzite – durable, character-driven materials ideal for busy households.

  • Engineered Quartz – a low-maintenance option that replicates the beauty of natural stone.

  • Solid Surfaces – seamless contemporary finishes perfect for minimal, modern schemes.

The overarching message is clear: successful bathroom design relies on selecting materials that marry beauty with real-world practicality. Moisture-resistance, durability and maintenance requirements are just as important as visual impact. This aligns closely with our approach at Project London and our sister company Cor Domi, where every bathroom scheme is tailored around how clients use their spaces day-to-day. Whether specifying natural stone or engineered alternatives, our focus is always on pairing craftsmanship with considered material performance.

Matthew Andrews, Head of Design, Cor Domi (Our sister-company) adds:

“Chosen for its dramatic veining and natural variation, Calacatta Viola invites a sense of luxury and individuality to the vanity’s surface. The marble’s organic patterning and warm undertones create a beautifully tactile contrast to the surrounding materials, resulting in a bathroom that feels both timeless and artful.”

This sentiment perfectly captures how we approach stone selection, not just as a finish, but as a central storytelling element within a room.
