The Vision

The clients wanted to replace three outdated rooms with something fresh, modern and uplifting. The original spaces felt closed‑in and claustrophobic, so the priority was to introduce light, clarity and a sense of openness. They arrived with only a vague idea of what they wanted, and were looking for guidance on colours, tiles and finishes.

Claude led them through the full design journey – helping them visualise how each element would work together and suggesting options they never would have considered.


Design Challenge & Solution

The Challenge

  • Restricted footprints in both en-suites
  • Dated layouts and finishes
  • A need for cohesion across three separate rooms
  • Clients who struggled to visualise how materials would come together
  • Existing pipework that limited certain layout choices

Our Solution

We introduced a soft neutral palette, clean lines and textured feature tiles to add depth without overwhelming the space. Layouts were refined to maximise openness, and finishes were selected to create a calm, modern feel throughout.

Where pipework or structural constraints required adjustments, the team communicated clearly, offered recommendations and ensured the clients felt confident in each decision.

A Fully Managed Installation

The installation phase was seamless from start to finish.

The clients described the team as:

  • Organised and efficient
  • Clear in communication
  • Respectful of the home
  • Exceptionally clean, with daily tidy‑downs and full floor protection

Despite the complexity of working across three rooms, the project progressed smoothly and with minimal disruption.

Bespoke Craftsmanship & Attention to Detail

What stands out most in the finished rooms is the quality of the workmanship.
The clients described the transformation as “astounding” – noting how much bigger and brighter each room now feels.

Key details include:

  • Textured tiles running around the rooms to elevate the neutral palette
  • Clean, modern brassware
  • Cohesive finishes across all three spaces
  • Precision installation and immaculate finishing

The result is a set of rooms that feel contemporary yet homely, practical yet refined


The Result

Three beautifully modern bathrooms that feel lighter, larger and more cohesive.
The clients are delighted with the outcome and have said they would “definitely” recommend Spires Interiors and use the team again for future projects.

CUSTOMER REVIEW

What Made This Project Special

This project was shaped by trust.

The clients came to Spires Interiors through a family recommendation, already confident in the standard of work.

That trust enabled a collaborative design process in which they felt supported, guided, and reassured at every stage.

Their willingness to embrace new ideas – especially around textures and finishes helped create a transformation that exceeded their expectations.

“The whole team at Spires provided excellent service in regards to redoing our bathrooms. We were incredibly happy with the design process with Claude then when Ben and the team did the work they were efficient and incredibly professional. Could not be happier with the results and would 100% recommend.”

Client Q&A:

Design & Style

Q: What style did you go for in the bathrooms, and what made you choose it?

A: The original bathrooms were very dated, and we wanted something bright and modern. The space is quite restrictive in the rooms and they could feel claustrophobic, so we really wanted to open them up. 

Q: How did you find pulling colours, tiles and finishes together before coming to us?

A: Honestly, we had no idea when we came in. We had a vague concept, but really Spires led us through the journey as part of the design process.

Claude helped us pick colours, tiles and finishes and suggested things we never would have thought of. Both my husband and I struggle to visualise how these concepts come together and Claude really helped us imagine the end product. 

Finding Us

Q: How did you first hear about Spires Interiors?

A: They had previously done work for close family. We were impressed with the work they had done in their house and came strongly recommended. 

Q: What made you feel we were the right fit?

A: The recommendation was a big help, so we knew we liked the product and the finish.

When we spoke with Spires at the initial consultation, we felt confident they understood our ask and would be able to make it happen for us. 

Choosing Spires

Q: What made you choose us over the other companies you looked at?

A: It was important to us to have someone we felt like we could trust and knowing the standard of work and professionalism through the recommendation was a big reassurance.

Spires was also competitive on price and generally, we felt very comfortable with their services. 

Craftsmanship

Q: Looking at the finished rooms now, what stands out most about the quality and finish?

A: Honestly, the change is astounding. The rooms look so much bigger and brighter and the standard of finishes is excellent.

The rooms look cohesive yet still homely and practical for our family. One of my favourite features is the textured tiles running around the rooms; they really elevate the look and make the neutral colours more interesting. 

Installation Experience

Q: How did you find the installation phase day‑to‑day?

A: The team were excellent and very organised. We were kept up to date on what was happening when.

The team were professional and efficient and progressed quickly through the tasks. 

Q: Did anything the team did make the process easier for you?

A: We were amazed at how clean they were.

They made sure all our flooring etc was protected and we were worried about dust in the house, but in actuality, it was very clean and the team made an effort to clean up on a day-by-day basis. 

Unexpected Bits

Q: Were there any surprises or challenges during the project, and how did you feel they were handled?

A: A few times throughout the process, we had to adapt as pipes were in the wrong place or where we wanted to put a feature wouldn’t work.

The team kept us updated and gave recommendations, but left the final decision up to us. For the most part we were glad to accept their suggestions. 

Pricing & Value

Q: How did our pricing compare to others you considered, and did it feel like good value?

A: We felt like the team were competitive on pricing, especially given the high-quality finish and seamless installation. We felt like it was worth it for sure. 

Recommendation

Q: Would you recommend Spires Interiors to others, and what would you say?

A: Definitely would recommend them, and we would look to use them for any further projects.

I would say they made the process very easy for us, literally from start to finish, and we are very happy with our bathrooms.
