Martha was keen to use vibrant colour and she wanted the bathroom to feel clean and fresh. The gorgeous teal tone she chose makes a bold statement and a brilliant backdrop for the white suite and smart, brick-effect tiling

Good idea
Frame crisp white tiles with grey grouting that’s unlikely to discolour over time

A bit about me
Hello, I’m Martha Copinger Sneddon. I live with my husband Duncan in a threebedroom Victorian terrace in Sheffield.
Before
My problem bathroom
