Creating a Luxury Bathroom in Reading
Lisa came to us looking to transform her unused loft space in Burghfield, Reading into a stunning luxury bathroom. She wanted a modern, high-end finish with a spa-like feel — something that felt luxurious but also calm and sophisticated. The brief was clear: create a contemporary luxury bathroom that maximised the available loft space while delivering the kind of finish you'd expect to find in a five-star hotel.
At Nuova Home, we specialise in luxury bathroom installations across Reading and Berkshire, and this project showcases exactly what we can achieve when design, craftsmanship, and attention to detail come together.
Solving What the Structure Presented
Loft bathrooms are among the most technically demanding installations we undertake. The angled geometry, structural constraints, and service routing requirements that come with a converted roof space require methodical planning long before a single tile is fixed. This project was no exception.
01
Ceiling Height
Working within the pitched roofline required precise positioning of every element — vanity height, mirror placement, and shower screen alignment were all calibrated to the available headroom, maintaining comfort throughout.
03
Plumbing Routing
Routing waste and supply pipework through an occupied structure required a phased approach. All pipework was concealed fully within the build — no exposed runs, no compromise to the interior aesthetic.
04
Ventilation
Building Regulations require mechanical ventilation in bathrooms without openable windows. A low-profile extractor fan was integrated discreetly into the wall, compliant with Part F and all.
05
Ceiling Height
The floor plan required every millimetre to be purposeful. The layout was drawn and redrawn to maximise circulation while preserving the scale and calm that a premium bathroom demands.
06
Structural Positioning
The placement of the concealed cistern and wall-hung toilet demanded careful coordination with the existing loft structure. Noggins and reinforcing were installed to carry the load.
07
Luxury in a compact footprint
Delivering a luxury specification within the constraints of a loft required restraint in selection and precision in execution — choosing materials that contribute to scale rather than diminish it.
Large Format Porcelain Tiles
The walls and floors are finished with large format porcelain tiles in a subtle grey-beige tone. These luxury tiles use a rectified edge technique, which allows them to be laid with minimal grout lines — creating a seamless, almost grout-free appearance. The rectified edges are precision-cut to exact dimensions, meaning the tiles can be installed with just 2-3mm gaps. This creates clean, continuous lines and gives the bathroom a high-end, polished look that's become the hallmark of luxury bathroom design.
We designed a sleek, minimalist luxury bathroom that makes full use of the loft's natural proportions. The colour palette is refined and neutral — soft greys and warm beiges create a calming atmosphere, while the LED backlit mirror adds a touch of modern luxury.
Key Design Features:
The Design
Walk-In Shower Enclosure
A frameless glass walk-in shower with chrome fixtures. Simple, elegant, and perfectly in keeping with the contemporary luxury aesthetic.
LED Backlit Mirror
The statement oval LED mirror provides ambient lighting and creates a focal point in the room. The soft glow adds warmth and makes the space feel more inviting — a signature feature in modern luxury bathrooms.
Wall-Hung Toilet
A wall-hung toilet with concealed cistern keeps the floor clear and maintains the clean, minimalist lines throughout the bathroom — another hallmark of luxury bathroom design.
Brushed Brass and Chrome Accents
Subtle brushed brass fixtures on the vanity and chrome shower fittings add a refined, luxury touch without overwhelming the neutral palette.

The Standard We Hold Ourselves To
The quality of a bathroom installation is ultimately measured in the details that most visitors will never consciously register — the perfect alignment of tile joints at internal corners, the flush seating of a recessed niche edge, the precise level of a floating vanity unit. These are not incidental refinements; they are the foundation upon which a premium result is built.
At Nuova Home Improvements, every project is managed and executed by experienced tradespeople who take direct ownership of their work. Tiling is carried out with consistent joint widths, mechanical spirit levels, and full adhesive bed coverage — not corners cut for the sake of time. Plumbing and electrics are tested before any surface is closed in. Every silicone line is finished with a tool, not a finger. The care taken in the preparation phase — screeding, waterproofing, tanking — is what ensures the finished room performs as well in ten years as it does on the day of handover.
This project reflects that standard in every surface and every junction. It is a result that we are proud to present as representative of our capability — and one that our client will be equally proud to call their own.
