Brassware
Scudo has lovely brass coloured sink taps at a reasonable price for tight budgets.

Bathroom Mountain’s bath mixers are stylish and affordable.
~ Junaid Mayne, Luxury Bathroom DesignerExtractors
Luxair extractors have a quiet brushless motor, seven-year warranty, remote-control operation, and adjustable light colour temperature. This allows me to combine reliable performance with a cohesive, well-considered lighting scheme over the hob.
~ Jamie Howard, Roost KitchensHardware
I use Blum for my drawer runners because they offer a lifetime guarantee and they test their products far more than most, so if something fails years down the line the client can go straight to Blum and get it swapped.
I use Carlisle Brass cup handles for drawers/pull-outs and knobs for hinged doors. They’re all solid brass so they will last forever.

I like to work with Farrow & Ball because their palette is so strong and well curated for clients. This bespoke kitchen is in Rangwali pink.
~ Jamie Howard, Roost KitchensSanitaryware
This compact vanity unit from Scudo is perfect for tight spaces. It has just enough storage space underneath for small bathrooms.
~ Junaid Mayne, Luxury Bathroom Designer
This compact toilet with ribbing detail from Bathroom Mountain allowed me to stay on budget for this tiny bathroom scheme.
~ Junaid Mayne, Luxury Bathroom DesignerSinks
I use Rangemaster sinks regularly because they’re a pretty middle-of-the-road, solid quality product with a good warranty and good customer service. They’re pretty consistent in their manufacturing as well. Fireclay products can have a lot of variation in them, but I’ve found Rangemaster to be pretty consistent with their sizing.
~ Jamie Howard, Roost KitchensTiles
I often use Ca’ Pietra as a starting point for customer briefs — their range of tones makes it easier to pull a complex scheme together in a small space.
~ Junaid Mayne, Luxury Bathroom Designer
For the supporting tiles, I turn to Al‑Murad — they’re great for sourcing reliable, standard tiles at a competitive price to bring schemes on budget.
