This project's brief was to create a seamless living space whilst maximising natural lighting, keeping the surroundings bright and airy. The areas of renovation started with the main entrance, which carried through to various bathrooms, all following the same theme. The colour scheme was chosen around different beiges across a blend of wood and stone/concrete effect tiles.
To achieve the unbroken view in the larger floor areas, we went with Porcelanosa’s Bottega Caliza tile. With its beige concrete effect in a natural finish, it offered exactly what the client was hoping for in terms of style, and the large 120 x 120cm format, in turn, meant fewer grout lines.
Richard Hayes joined us at Marabese in November 2019. In this blog entry, he will be sharing one of his Specification Projects based in Bedfordshire featuring the Delice Gris tile:
Aiming to set up and move forward the Projects Department of Marabese's business has brought with it some interesting and enjoyable challenges. Introducing a new specification supplier into a vastly competitive marketplace was not going to be easy; creating a strong brand and reliable reputation was the key. Tapping into my years of experience was vital to getting the results we all wanted as a business.
This project was to transform a living space into a warm and welcoming environment, using mellow grey and taupe colours.

Marabese Showroom: Milton Keynes
In our last blog in this series, we heard from Chloe who told us about the kitchen she designed for her home. This time we’ve moved onto Dez Ferguson who is also based in our Milton Keynes showroom, where he specialises as a Bathroom Designer. Dez's designs can be seen far and wide; also all over Bedfordshire since he previously worked from our Bedford store.
Dez has created countless dream bathrooms while he’s been in the industry for the past 20 years, so it wasn’t easy for him to pick a favourite design. However, one that recently stood out for him was a bathroom designed for a customer locally in Milton Keynes.

For our next few blogs, we’ll focus on some of our designer’s favourite bathroom and kitchen redesigns. We’ll start off with Chloe Charteris, who specialises in creating stylish and individual kitchens.
Chloe has worked for 12 years in Kitchen Distribution/Sales and nearly a year and a half as a Kitchen Designer for Marabese. She is based in the Milton Keynes showroom in Wolverton, where she has already designed and completed over 24 kitchens!
She has chosen her own kitchen as her favourite installation, proving that we use our own products and the fitters whom we recommend! 'Daniell & Childs Bathrooms & Kitchens' skillfully fitted this custom-designed kitchen.

Marabese Showroom: BedfordAll about the stone
The stony look of this bathroom has a natural appearance which could be compared to the beautiful interior of a cave. We have the same tile on the walls and floors – the delightful Choice Ash tile by Pamesa in a 30.3 x 61.3cm format.
Using the same tile throughout was chosen to achieve a coordinated look, with a sense of continuity. The effect is spa-like and minimalistic with the intention to make the small space appear larger. The tiles are an amazing combination of light grey and ash coloured tones which are blended to create an overwhelming natural look!

Marabese Showroom: Milton KeynesPerfect for dinner parties
Eat, drink and be happy: This delightful kitchen certainly provides a place for doing just that! Sophie, our Kitchen Designer from Marabese, Milton Keynes, was given the brief to create a kitchen with a sociable space for entertaining and holding dinner parties, and we reckon she’s come up trumps!
Our customer had already selected the gorgeous Dekton Trilium worktop, which combines browns, greys and a deep black to give a rusted look.
