Real Bathrooms
Charlie Rose Makes
Charlie Rose, from @charlierose.makes, is an artist & content creator with a passion for interior and furniture design. She's been renovating her Victorian terrace with her boyfriend Digby, in Bristol, for just over 6 months now. They have been taking on the majority of the work themselves which has made things slightly challenging but also very rewarding!
The Brief
What were your initial requirements?
"We have a really small space to work with so I wanted to find pieces that would help make the bathroom look bigger than it is. I spent quite a bit of time trawling the internet for optical illusion tricks for small rooms! Choices such as changing the layout so the shower / bath moved to the back wall and opting for 'floating' furniture to make the floor space look bigger. We also didn't currently have a shower so it was very important to get an extra fancy one."
Colours & Surfaces
Where did you find inspiration for your bathroom renovation?
"Mostly through Instagram, Pinterest and Elle Decoration magazine. However, I also pick up inspirations through my travels as I really wanted the room to feel de-cluttered, calming and luxurious like a hotel bathroom."
Order a brochureHow would you describe your style?
"I would say my usual style is colourful, contemporary with eclectic mid century pieces. We wanted the bathroom to be a calming space, with timeless design. Therefore we went for a modern suite with black fixtures to add a contemporary feel, but brought in some colour and character with our pastel green terrazzo tiles from Ca'Pietra."
The Finished Look
What made you choose Tavistock Bathrooms products?
"The premium quality and generous choice of finishes and extra touches. It felt like every detail was thought about and the team were really helpful with any questions I had."
Are you pleased with the finished bathroom renovation?
"I absolutely LOVE it. You would not believe that it is the same space - the room feels so much bigger and all the premium features make it feel like such a luxurious space."

What would be your advice for anyone wanting to renovate their bathroom?
"Expect everything to take a lot longer than you think! As we are renovating an old Victorian house, we came across plenty of surprises and issues that delayed us. However, we did everything (apart from the tiling) ourselves - so that could be why!"
