COME ON IN!

ABOUT ME: I’m Emma Pais, 40, and I live here with my husband James, 55, and our daughter Skye, eight, in a three-bedroom Edwardian townhouse in Glasgow. We moved here from London in February 2014. We renovated the bathroom once we had completed the hallway, Skye’s bedroom and the living room.

MY CHALLENGE To convert a 4.8x3.3m bedroom into an indulgent, vintage-inspired bathroom, which would also double up as my closet and dressing room.

MY WISH LIST Elegant panelling, beautiful vintage and reclaimed fittings, patterned tiles and lots of colourful botanical touches.

When our daughter Skye was four, we moved from London to Glasgow where I was born. We were lucky to find a three-storey Edwardian terraced house with original features in Strathbungo, a conservation area. The house had a small bathroom on the top floor and an even smaller shower room within a cupboard downstairs, so six months after moving in we converted both. I’m an interior designer (spais-studio.com), so I had lots of ideas for the new space.
