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

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

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

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

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

Kuche & Bagno win Show Space of the Year at the D Awards 2018. "Creating the right Show Space is all about balance, it's about showing plenty of product but not too much and its about making what you offer look aspirational whilst at the same time attainable. Achieving all of that within what is often a limited space can be a really tough task. Each finalist is a very different project in its own right so choosing an outright winner was a particularly tough task. But a combin

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

Kuche & Bagno have incorporated Eclisse pocket doors into their beautiful showroom. They chose to focus primarily on Glass Pocket Door Systems in order to both accentuate and transform the room providing extra light and space to her display. Clean lines and a contemporary feel have been achieved in many areas of the display through the use of the architrave-free ECLISSE Syntesis® Flush Pocket Door Systems. By using this architrave free system, Kuche & Bagno have been able to

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

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

For us discovering Buster + Punch two years ago was a revelation, a breath of fresh air at a time when handles in contemporary kitchen design had been forgotten about. At the time a handless or J profile door featured prominently in an array of homes throughout the UK, whether it be a one-bedroom apartment or a sprawling family abode. The only difference was the price and of course attention to detail of the door, either foil wrapped or painstakingly lacquered to achieve a pr

Kuche & Bagno were commissioned to transform an outdated master en-suite into a soothing space with a spa feel. This wasn't a particularly large space to work with at just 1.9m wide by 3.2m long, so some thinking about how to maximise the space and how to incorporate clever storage was crucial. 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 rea

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

Matt Toms, Product Development Manager at Impey Showers discusses which is best for your project. Usually the choice of shower enclosure or wetroom will come down to personal preference based on functionality or aesthetics. Innovation has meant wetrooms are now reliable and easier to create than ever, while shower enclosure options now include level access giving a similar wet room experience. ​​Enclosures are possibly a more stylish out of this the box solution but the wet r

Having commissioned and built twenty bathrooms and five kitchens with Lisa Melvin, client Gisela Blee recognises the value of good design. “Expensive materials do nothing to rescue weak ideas” explains Gisela. “Conversely, great design lifts a project from being average to excellent, irrespective of budget”. The latest project is based in the Cotswolds with stunning views across the Stroud valleys. “The Cotswolds is a new location for us, with new contractors and trades but t
