Creating a bathroom that feels like a boutique hotel requires more than beautiful finishes — it is about detail, atmosphere, and timeless design choices. For this master ensuite project, the client wanted to capture exactly that feeling: a space that feels rich, tactile, and carefully curated.
A Jewel Box of Colour and Texture
To achieve this, the design team tiled the entire room from floor to ceiling, creating what they describe as a “walk-in jewel box.” An aqueous colour palette in shades of blue and green brought depth and calm, while the uninterrupted tiling added a sense of luxury and scale.
Within such a strong colour story, the choice of brassware was critical. The client wanted fittings that felt warm to the eye and to the touch, while still delivering a contemporary edge.
Why Francone Brassware Was the Perfect Fit
“We wanted the tapware to feel as warm and tactile as possible. Francone taps offered a perfect solution as the brass finish is unlacquered, meaning it develops a beautiful patina over time, just like traditional taps. At the same time, they are available in contemporary forms, which suited our client’s taste perfectly. For this project, Francone offered the best of both worlds.”
This testimonial highlights what sets Francone Bespoke Taps apart. By offering unlacquered brass finishes, every piece evolves naturally with use, gaining character over time. At the same time, our collections embrace clean lines and modern proportions, making them versatile enough to work across both traditional and contemporary interiors.
The Result
The finished ensuite delivers exactly what the client imagined: a boutique hotel-inspired space that feels unique, personal, and enduring. With brassware that will continue to age beautifully, this bathroom is designed not only for today but for years to come.
