A Q&A With Simply Bathrooms
Residential
Details
1. Why was Coalbrook’s Brushed Brassware chosen for this bathroom, and how does it complement the overall design?
"Coalbrook’s brushed brassware was chosen for its understated luxury and beautifully soft finish. The warm brass tones pair perfectly with the creamy wall panelling, zellige tiles and the overall sunlit quality of the space. The finish isn’t overly shiny or showy - it brings elegance without taking over. It also adds a grounded sense of quality that ties together the modern colour choices with the more classic panelled detailing, creating a cohesive, elevated scheme."
2. What inspired the selection of the bold orange cabinet, and what mood or style were you aiming to create?
"The orange vanity was chosen as a deliberate burst of joy. The bathroom gets wonderful natural light, so we wanted a colour that would celebrate that and lift the entire scheme. The ribbed detailing adds subtle texture while the bold hue injects contemporary energy into an otherwise calm, neutral backdrop. The goal was to create something fresh, modern and quietly playful - a space that feels confident without being overwhelming."
3. What was the reasoning behind pairing the brassware with colourful elements, and how does it achieve a balanced, modern look?
"Pairing the brushed brass with the bold orange vanity and soft pastel tiles was all about balance. The brass brings warmth and sophistication, while the colour injects personality and modernity. Together, they stop each other from feeling too traditional or too trendy. The result is a room that feels inviting and characterful, but still timeless - a contemporary update with longevity, rather than something that will date quickly."
