Salacia Directors: Simon, Ollie and Jamie
with the unique
aspect of decades of
bathroom knowhow
and some serious
design style. The
whole concept offered
a tantalising
combination of luxury
products, high-end
finishes and an
unsurpassed creative
flair and provided us
with not just a
bathroom planning
solution, but a total
immersive bathroom
design experience.
We were fortunate to meet Simon, their chief designer, who arrived
paper and pen in hand. He viewed the spaces that were built and the
plans for what was to come, he listened to our stories, saw our
inspiration, and just got it!
With a few strokes of artistic flair, he began to bring the first emergings
of our bathroom dream to life, and we saw it in that beautiful yet
simplistic hand-drawn design of one of the Salacia ranges.
This was then magically (well, with the help of Spencer’s fixture
knowhow, Ollie’s product acumen and little bit of computer wizardry)
transformed into a realistic computerised image of what the
finished article could look like (which you can witness yourself online).
Mind blown!
Salacia’s well conceived offer is
as beautiful as it is simple. They
offer six unique bathroom ‘styles’:
Fulham, Kensington,
Wimbledon, Chelsea, Soho and
Islington; which can be tailored
for five different bathroom
spaces: main, family, ensuite, WC
or shower room.
We were able to explore different
looks and a plethora of options
whilst still remaining true to our
style, our space and our budget;
safe, for the first time, in the
knowledge that these would a)
actually fit, and b) actually work.
In a matter of days we had fully
costed and perfectly planned
bathroom options for our family
bath, mini ensuite and master
bathroom suite.
The carefully selected products,
which were an exact match to
that first freehand drawing, and
came with great guidance to our
plumbers, soon followed.
three beautiful, bespoke
bathroom spaces, which whilst
never compromising substance
and functionality also came with
bucket loads (or should that be
bath loads?) of style.
Of course the crowning glory:
my hotel-inspired master
bathroom suite with its sleek
carrera marble twin vanity and
freestanding bath, which you can
actually see for yourself in
episode one of Channel 4’s new
property show Best Laid Plans.
And the finishing touch: the
original freehand sketch is now
treasured and framed on the
bathroom wall.
