Style Bible: From luxurious bathrooms to dog-inspired homewares

FOR A touch of French luxury on the bathroom front, The North Berwick Bathroom and Tile Company is one of just a few Scottish companies supplying the Ambiance Bain collection.

The range features an SMO synthetic resin material that combines natural stone, synthetic resin and antibacterial surface gel, resulting in a flexible material for counter tops, basins and shelves that can be made to measure to fit awkward shapes. All available in a wide range of finishes, including Wood Effect (pictured), Gold Leaf and Snakeskin.

• Emma Johnstone is a London-based contemporary ceramicist who creates work using the dramatic firing process of raku. Raku is a method of firing ceramics, developed from an ancient Japanese technique. Items are rapidly fired up and removed from the kiln whilst glowing hot. The sudden drop in temperature results in Raku’s characteristic black lines, making each piece unique. Each item here is a hollow-thrown vessel or wall piece, which is raku fired and gilded with three types of gold and copper leaf.
