Drummonds BathroomsThis beautiful master bathroom is situated in a Victorian townhouse in the heart of Notting Hill, London. The classic style and bold colour choices create a relaxing space with a unique style and elegance that is both classic and contemporary which was featured in the October 2014 issue of Homes & Gardens.
Drummond’s roll-top Spey cast iron bath in Salmon pink is the main feature of the room, with Drummonds’ brassware creating a warm, nostalgic feel. It has been left un-lacquered and un-polished to age naturally giving it a rich, golden colour and unique patina. The bath is drained through a Plunger waste unit based on a classic Victorian design.
Drummonds’ curved pipe Dalby shower and the WC are concealed in a custom-built enclosure in the back wall, behind a vintage art deco screen sourced from France. This beautiful piece is backlit, bathing the bath in a soft glow in the evening.
The soft shapes of Drummonds’ pop-up basin mixer taps with burnished walnut handles are paired with the contrasting contemporary cut of the square marble basin and square cornered cabinetry.
No ChintzThis girls bedroom has a more old-world feel to it. The colours are gorgeous and the girl can really grow into them as she gets older. They're not baby colours. The pink — calamine pink — has been used by Chrissie before, and we were all blown away at how different it looked to what you might expect. There's a real warmth to it. They wanted something that was not too princessy or overly girly but still felt appropriate for a little girl who could grow into the space.
The first iteration had the joinery going up to the ceiling, but we pulled it back. Imogen would never be able to reach the top, and neither would I. We kept it at a scale where it could be a place for books and all her little charms and objects that little girls love to collect.
The wardrobe’s glass doors lined in fabric is an English touch — and it suits this family. You get to know a client's personality and history, and all of that informs the choices. That low doorknob is such a small detail, but it's exactly the kind of thing that makes a room truly considered.
Chrissie used a Bonnie and Neil tablecloth for the bed head, which was an inspired idea. The pinkish quilted bedspread I already had, and it goes beautifully with the cushions on the bed and the window seat cushions, all of which No Chintz sourced.
The window seat was created specifically for this room because of that beautiful bay window — and because Imogen loves to read. Her parents were keen on encouraging that. Imogen also arranges all her soft toys along the seat, all at her level. It became a little world of its own under the window.
