Complete Bathroom Renovation in Peckham
This complete bathroom renovation in Peckham is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and quality materials can transform a standard bathroom into something special — without requiring a massive footprint. Our Peckham client wanted a fresh, stylish bathroom that reflected the area's creative character while remaining practical for daily family use.
Step Ahead Renovations delivered a full strip-out and re-fit combining classic metro tiles with a contemporary herringbone floor, creating a bathroom that feels both characterful and clean. The mix of chrome and matt black finishes adds a curated, design-led edge that elevates the entire space.

Design Choices That Make a Difference
The white metro tiles from Ventures Cera Showroom are a timeless choice that works beautifully in this Peckham bathroom. Installed in a classic half-bond pattern, they reflect light around the room and create an instantly clean, fresh feel. Metro tiles remain one of the most popular choices for bathroom renovations in South London thanks to their versatility and enduring appeal.
At floor level, the herringbone porcelain planks in a natural oak effect add warmth and pattern without overwhelming the space. This layout technique — popular in both traditional and contemporary interiors — gives the floor a sense of movement and craftsmanship that standard grid tiling simply cannot match.
Mixing Metals
We deliberately mixed chrome and matt black finishes in this project — chrome for the shower valve and basin tap, matt black for the heated towel rail and select accessories. This mixed-metal approach is a growing trend in modern bathroom design and, when done carefully, creates a layered, considered aesthetic rather than a uniform look.
