Fulham Cloakroom Project

At Kallums Bathrooms, we believe the smallest rooms often carry the biggest design opportunity. This Fulham cloakroom is a perfect example, a compact footprint transformed into a bold, luxurious statement space as part of a full home refurbishment.

Rather than treating it as a secondary room, we approached it as a design feature in its own right. The result is a striking, award-worthy cloakroom that balances expressive materials with precise detailing.

Let the Wallpaper Lead the Design

The entire scheme is anchored by the dramatic statement wallpaper – rich in deep blue tones, layered with warm gold detailing. It immediately sets the mood, creating a sense of theatre the moment you enter.

Crucially, the wallpaper isn’t overused. It’s framed above a marble datum line, allowing it to stand out without overwhelming the room. This controlled application is what gives the space its sophistication.

Bathroom Design Tip: Use Wallpaper Strategically

In small bathrooms, placement matters more than coverage. Framing wallpaper within a defined area keeps it impactful and refined.

Precision in Every Detail

What truly elevates this cloakroom and what defines a Kallums Bathrooms project – is the attention to detail.

A slim brushed brass trim neatly separates the wallpaper from the marble, creating a clean, intentional transition. This same brass finish is repeated across:

• Wall-mounted brass tap
• Flush plate
• Towel rail
• Pendant lighting

This consistency creates a cohesive, luxury feel throughout the space.

Material Contrast That Enhances Space

To balance the boldness of the wallpaper, we introduced calming, architectural materials:

• Large-format marble-effect tiles for the vanity and splashback
• Dark herringbone wall tiles to add depth and structure
• A floating marble countertop to keep the space feeling open

Using larger tiles minimises grout lines, helping the room feel more expansive a key strategy in compact cloakrooms.

Bathroom Design Tip: Go Bigger with Tiles

In smaller spaces, large-format tiles create a cleaner, more seamless look, making the room feel bigger than it is.

Lighting That Brings the Space to Life

Lighting plays a central role in how this room is experienced. Layered lighting has been carefully designed to enhance both function and atmosphere:

• Pendant lights introduce sculptural interest
• Concealed LED lighting highlights the marble and wallpaper
• A backlit mirror amplifies light and adds depth

The result is a warm, inviting glow that evolves throughout the day.

Bathroom Lighting Tip: Layer Your Lighting

Combine ambient, task, and feature lighting to create depth, highlight textures, and elevate the overall design.

Designed for Both Style and Practicality

While the space is visually striking, it remains highly functional:

• A wall-hung WC keeps the floor area open
• A countertop basin adds softness against the structured materials
• A floating vanity enhances the sense of space

Every decision balances aesthetics with everyday usability, a core principle in all Kallums Bathrooms projects.

The Result

This Fulham cloakroom proves that with the right design approach, even the smallest bathroom can become a standout feature of the home.

By combining statement wallpaper, carefully considered materials, and meticulous detailing, Kallums Bathrooms has delivered a space that feels luxurious, cohesive, and truly unique.
