The renovation enabled Rita to gain a downstairs bathroom - something she was extremely excited by! As it’s a small room, it can be a really fun place to go a bit wild with decorating.

Oxford Gardens, The Finished Project

The Perfect Downstairs Loo

I was really excited to be able to gain a downstairs bathroom, and it feels like a complete luxury. As it's a small room, it can be a really fun place to go a bit wild with decorating.

  • A bold wallpaper makes this tiny space feel interesting and fun.
  • I made use of a recess by sinking an antique cabinet into the wall.
  • Take your time when hanging artwork and accessorising a space; you don't need to have everything finished straight away - in fact sometimes, it turns out better when you don't.
