BathEmpire

A bathroom fit for a King and Queen

Posted on 03. May, 2011 by Charlotte Laing in Design Tips

Where were you on Friday, April 29th? The chances are you were glued to the TV like almost everybody else in the UK, watching our future King marry his sweetheart.

Now Wills and Kate (or Catherine as we are now meant to call her) are married they’ve left behind the pomp and ceremony of London and returned to their rented farmhouse in Wales to begin married life.

We love that they are so normal in some respects, living in a farmhouse rather than a castle – although we expect their property is rather swanky inside.

No chipped baths or mildew for them, we imagine.

We wonder whether Kate’s taste is traditional and formal or relaxed and modern.

Judging by her wedding dress we’d say she like to keep things fairly traditional but isn’t into anything overly fussy or ornate.

We think Kate and Wills would love the Victoria roll top bath – it’s definitely classy and the high end makes it a great bath for relaxing bath in with a glass of wine and a book, just what’s needed after a day official engagements.

When William gets home from his duties as a search and rescue pilot though, we think he might like something a bit more practical.

This sliding door shower cubicle will fit into an alcove, and is really roomy.

If you fancy getting a little royal style in your home, there are lots of roll top baths and shower enclosures to choose from at BathEmpire.
