How to Create a Truly Comfortable Living Space

By Sharon Henry

If you venture into the heart of Preston, Lancashire, you will find award winning Showrooms of exceptional luxury bathrooms, kitchens and tiles.

ESP Bathrooms, currently have a Flagship showroom on the Queens Retail Park and also an impressive showroom at the Thorn Buildings on Kent Street in Preston.

But…They have exciting news, they are currently developing a new 7500 square foot showroom adjacent to the Kent Street premises, a brand new Tile

Showroom.

Restoration has started on the building which they are led to believe could have been an old chapel. They have set about exposing some of the original brick and restoring the ceilings to their original state. Also trying to keep the original wood beams to give the building its’ own authenticity.

When you walk into the showroom they want to give you that WOW factor with feature walls on chimney breasts and showing the different concepts available with lots of different colours and many choices of tiles to help you create that special and bespoke look in your Living Area, Media Area, Kitchen, Bathroom, in fact anywhere in your home.

Here their objective is to create a Concept, where the customer can be introduced to the trends in tiles and installation. They want to give inspiration to Architects and Designers

by including a ‘Creative Area’ which will be open to the public as well as Trade customers. There will be room sets to stimulate and energize you and help you create your best lifestyle.

The showroom will be able to display large format porcelain slabs, which are impressive and practical and create an almost seamless surface covering, ideal for kitchen and bathroom walls.

They will also be stocking Outdoor Porcelain Tiles to create features in your garden, whether you are soaking up the sun or cooking up some delicious food on the BBQ, or enjoying al fresco life and unlocking your gardens true potential.

Sourcing only the best tiles from Italian and Spanish factories, they will be supplying designer brands such as the Roberto Cavalli Collection, reflecting the brand of the ‘’Wild Spirit’’ clothing, which combines elegance and functionality that every space in your home needs. This is a sophisticated and harmonious range to enhance elegant finishes of tiles for walls and floors. This is the direction the market is going, trending unusual combinations and precious surfaces offering a feeling of contemporary luxury for richly personalized spaces.

They will also be stocking ranges from Diesel Living, creating new floor and wall tiling solutions inspired by the industrial and metropolitan world, for truly eye-catching contemporary spaces. Different, opposing patterns such as cement surfaces or visually delicate surfaces which move together.

Look out for ranges from Iris FMG, Italgraniti and the Spanish company Grespania, the world leader in sustainable design and manufacture of ceramic and porcelain tiles.

This is the direction the market is going as customers are looking for tiles to create a vital finishing touch to improve their homes, carefully curating a combined luxury, contemporary style which is both affordable and durable for busy households. Giving the flexibility of indoor or outdoor space, originally tiles were designed to provide a waterproof surface in the bathroom

They are creating working spaces such as working Whirlpool Bathtubs designed to unwind and soothe your tired body, working Spa Steam rooms where you can relax sore muscles and look after your health and well - being, working Kitchens where you can bake Cinnamon Twists and including Villeroy & Boch Tableware . You can also see working Horizontal Showers and Raindance Showers offering a more expansive shower experience, a cocoon of water that completely surrounds you.

Work has just started on the new premises and they hope to launch their new Inspirational Concept late September, early October 2022

ESP Bathrooms is a Family run business. Ahmed Ibrahim Bhayat, founder of ESP, chose to create showrooms in the heart of Lancashire, Preston in 1987. His career began working for a plumbers merchant where he identified a need in the market. He wanted to create a space where customers could come and visualise what their bathrooms could look like.

“His vision to provide the highest level of customer service with the best value for money…”

Ahmed spent time sourcing the most reliable products from around the globe and was determined on finding the highest quality materials and products, he soon came across British and German Brands. His vision soon came to life and still stands after all these years. Their lead Designer, Junaid A. Bhayat, continues this success story with his highly talented team of knowledgeable and experienced Bathroom and Kitchen Designers.
