An interior design team from Devon has won the ultimate UK luxury bathroom award.

David Aspinall, Director and Designer at Sapphire Spaces, beat competition from around the country to win Ultimate Luxury Bathroom Design of the Year in the 13th annual Designer Kitchen and Bathroom Awards. 

Sapphire Spaces, based opposite Darts Farm near Exeter, pride themselves on creating first class living environments for their clients in homes ranging from stunning new builds and conversions to terrace houses and West Country cottages. 

David said: “Being a designer is a challenging but hugely rewarding job. This is our third national recognition this year, which is fantastic. I get a real buzz thinking about how my designs can enhance a home and the way a client lives.

“Each of our clients is so important to us. We work to realise their dreams, and that is incredibly satisfying. What we love about being based in the South West is the variety. We work on such a mix of projects, but all of them exciting. Hopefully our clients are enjoying having an award-winning bathroom!”

The winning design used a unique combination of products to create the perfect atmosphere, with features including architectural glass, touch-activated mirror and an illusion wall with chromo-therapy lighting.

The awards recognise the very best in kitchen and bathroom design across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Winning entries were announced at a glittering gala event hosted by Channel 4 Countdown’s Rachel Riley.

Martin Allen-Smith, Editor of Designer Kitchen and Bathroom magazine, said: “David’s project impressed the judges with its stylish design solution and clever product selection. Achieving great design requires the full set of creative skills and David has certainly demonstrated that he has this in spades with his work in creating this impressive and highly accomplished space.”

David’s winning bathroom design was created for a Sapphire Spaces client.

They said: "Working with David at Sapphire has been the most amazing experience. Not only is he one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of working with, but each of his designs are breathtaking.

“David's evocative creativity at the planning stage of the project left other companies light-years behind.”

Alongside David’s award win, Managing Director Mark Newbery has made this year’s Designer Kitchen and Bathroom’s d-list. The list highlights 20 of the UK’s best designers.

Earlier in the year, Sapphire Spaces won another top award, for Bathroom Showroom of the Year at the KBB Review Retail and Design Awards 2015.
