A NEW LAYOUT AND STYLISH PASTEL GREEN TERRAZZO CREATE A SENSE OF SPACE AND LIGHT IN THIS COMPACT BATHROOM BELONGING TO CHARLIE AND JAMES

'We were lucky as the previous owners had already converted the loft,' says Charlie. 'The house only needed light renovations rather than anything structural, and we made updating the leaky main bathroom our priority.'
