Jack & Jill
This Jack and Jill bathroom installation created a perfect solution for private bathing quarters for the children. Forming part of a large refurbishment for our client's Warwickshire countryside home, Kuche & Bagno worked closely with the client to conclude the best configuration for en-suites for two bedrooms and a 'Jack and Jill' concept proved to be the best format for their young twin daughters to share. Keep Calm
The suite featured beautiful double Duravit Luv furniture

We ask the experts: What's the difference between layout and design?

Dr Vanessa Brady OBE, International multi-award winning Interior Designer "There is no such thing as free design, there are offers when you buy the providers items - but if they only offer their products the design is not the best product for you, it is the best product they sell for you.

Into the blue
The aim was to create a functional, practical space, which needed to serve many functions for this busy family including the formation of a new laundry room as well as an extension to the kitchen. We have a large, recently built house with large rooms, however the laundry room was disproportionate to the square footage. It served a purpose for neatly housing the washing machine and tumble dryer and we had a couple of cupboards for household cleaners but that’s was about is ca

Reflect on it
From concept to completion Kuche & Bagno have joined forces with Springburn Joinery to specialise in bespoke cabinetry to enhance and maximise available space within your bathroom. With the evolution of bathroom design here in the UK, concealing unsightly pipework cisterns and shower valves by constructing stud walls is a standard practise but what about all the space within that studwork? By utilising this valuable space for storage is a natural progression and Kuche & Bagno

The Cube
For this project we worked very closely with our client Sarah to help with the reconfiguration of the east wing of her family home to create one large master suite, which included a dressing area, wellness suite and sleeping quarters. Within the new master suite we looked at the possibilities for an area to work as a home office, but concluded a quiet wellness suite to relax, unwind, chill and contemplate free from the pollution of technology and the outside world would be by

Make Over Magic
Having recently moved into her new home, refurbishing bathrooms were a top priority for Victoria. The existing bathrooms were extremely dated and not fit for purpose making cleaning difficult as well as aesthetically not looking great. Working and training long hours teamed with Digby the dog, Victoria has a busy daily schedule and she wanted an easy-to-clean, clutter free, relaxing space with a luxurious feel and a powerful shower with a spacious shower enclosure was a must.

Feels Like Home
This was a new build project set in the Northamptonshire countryside and included for the design and supply of kitchen and laundry room as well as bathrooms, en-suites and cloakroom. For a family who love cooking, practicality is of prime concern in a kitchen. Each item, appliance and accessory’s purpose, position and storage location was planned out in advance to ensure that we made the most of the space and everything had its place in the space. This would ensure that the k

The Wellness Suite
A stay in a boutique hotel means relaxing in luxury, with the softest bedding, chic furniture, impeccable décor and a lavish lavatory. But why leave all that indulgence behind, when you could have a boutique-inspired bathroom all of your own back at home? Interior designer Lisa Melvin recently completed a project that she calls the Wellness Suite. This stunning bathroom would fit in perfectly in a high-end hotel in Mayfair or Kensington, and it’s also marvellous inspiration f

Time to Relax
Having installed a beautiful boutique family bathroom five years ago for our clients including a large walk-in shower with luxurious Bisazza mosaics, Kuche & Bagno were commissioned once again to transform their master en-suite into a soothing space with a spa feel. There was a desperate need to update the en-suite bathroom with the original suite installed some eighteen years old in this coach house style property. The existing en-suite had a real wooden plank floor and half

A breath of fresh air...
One of the most important appliances in the kitchen is the extraction hood, yet it's often overlooked. Fitting the right extraction hood in your kitchen is crucial as it not only creates a pleasant environment but removing dirt and grease particles from the air will help protect your kitchen or living area. In a standard family home of 4, over a year, airbourne odours and particles from oven cooking alone will create the equivalent of a pack of lard settling around the kitche

One Man. One Bathroom... DIY skills put to the test!
Dave decided to put his DIY skills to the ultimate test when undertaking a bathroom refurbishment project himself. The existing bathroom was extremely dated and a major overhaul was desperately needed to modernise it. Dave successfully managed to strip the old bathroom out, plumb the new bathroom in - complete with a Geberit Wall Hung frame and toilet and Matki Eauzone shower enclosure and even completed building the mirrored pocket door himself. His DIY skills are second to

Original Features
We always love to work for this repeat client who had the need to form a new additional bathroom in their rural barn conversion in the heart of Warwickshire. It was important to retain some of the beautiful original features including wooden beams and high ceilings but we always had to find practical solutions to house a Saniflo macerator to take away shower, basin and soil pipe wastes.The client also wanted to accommodate a worksurface in the bathroom as well as a large show

Kew Gardens
This project at Kew Gardens, Surrey included the mix of a new contemporary kitchen into an extension of a beautiful period property. The existing property and extension featured lovely high ceilings which presented a fantastic space for the new kitchen installation into the side elevation extension of the property. There’s a lovely green bush partition just outside the window which helps to form a unique 'picture frame' behind the sink. Hidden Storage The clients had a couple
