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.
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.
In small bathrooms, placement matters more than coverage. Framing wallpaper within a defined area keeps it impactful and refined.
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:
This consistency creates a cohesive, luxury feel throughout the space.
To balance the boldness of the wallpaper, we introduced calming, architectural materials:
Using larger tiles minimises grout lines, helping the room feel more expansive a key strategy in compact cloakrooms.
In smaller spaces, large-format tiles create a cleaner, more seamless look, making the room feel bigger than it is.

Lighting plays a central role in how this room is experienced. Layered lighting has been carefully designed to enhance both function and atmosphere:
The result is a warm, inviting glow that evolves throughout the day.
Combine ambient, task, and feature lighting to create depth, highlight textures, and elevate the overall design.
While the space is visually striking, it remains highly functional:
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.
