3 things to consider for your Petite Cloakroom Transformation.
One of the most common questions for our design team is ‘I only have a small cloakroom – how can I turn it into an attractive space’? A downstairs cloakroom can either be the most seen or the least loved room in your home. Ensuring you have adequate space and a quality finish can make […]

Family-friendly Bathrooms
A bathroom that is shared by several family members is a hardworking space that has to cater for a range of (ever-changing) needs. Is it possible to create a room that meets the very different requirements of little ones, teenagers and grown-ups, often all at the same time? With a little planning, we think it […]
Bespoke bathrooms

Small Spaces, Big Dreams
We all love the idea of luxuriating in a spa-style bathroom, but the images we see online and in magazines of vast bathrooms with freestanding roll-top baths, roomy walk-in showers and oodles of built-in storage can feel alienating – in reality, the majority of bathrooms are far more modest in size. The good news is, […]
Key Trends for Bathrooms
Once upon a time, bathrooms were purely functional spaces, discreetly tucked away at the back of the house. In the modern home, on the other hand, they tend to be given star status. Influenced by a growing focus on the show-stopping bathrooms and extravagant spa facilities of luxury hotels, homeowners are increasingly seeing the bathroom […]
Planning the perfect bathroom
The key to any successful building or renovation project is thorough planning, and a new bathroom is no different.

But don’t […]
Unwind in style with perfect pastels
Spring is in the air, and in fashion and interiors that means one thing: a proliferation of pastels!

Choosing the right bath
When choosing a new bath, it is natural to focus on aesthetics – it is an investment piece that will be a feature of your home for many years, so loving how it looks is a must. There are, however, other considerations to be taken into account. Here’s our summary of the best Catchpole & Rye […]
Warm metallics: time to shine
Metallics have been big news in interiors for a while now, and the bathroom is perhaps the best room in the house to show them off. Metallics convey a sense of luxury that has become a ‘must’ in the modern bathroom and are a great way to create a spa-like feel. What’s more, their natural […]
Turn your bathroom into a spa-like oasis
Our attitude to the bathroom has changed. No longer seen as purely functional, it has become an indulgent space in which we choose to linger, wallow and relax mind, body and soul. More and more square metres (and budget) are being dedicated to the bathroom, making it one of the most luxurious rooms in the […]
