‘We squeezed in TILE TRIO
‘I used three types of tiles on the walls and floors yet they don’t overwhelm the space’
COME ON IN!
ABOUT ME I’m Joanna Thornhill, 39, an interiors stylist and writer (joanna thornhill.co.uk). I live in an 1890s terrace in Walthamstow, London, with my partner Paul Hughes, 40, a TV development executive. We moved here in 2012 and initially gave the dilapidated bathroom an inexpensive makeover, but it took us seven years to get round to properly renovating it. MY CHALLENGE The floor wasn’t level, which was causing the tiles to crack. There was no built-in storage, aside from a rotting under-sink unit. MY WISH LIST I wanted a separate walk-in shower, and to create better built-in storage. I also hoped to bring more unity to the room through design, and create a smarter space.

CALMING COLOURS
‘I used soothing blues and greens on both the walls and cabinetry. I love how the teal sits with the monochrome of the tiles and woodwork’
