The design approach

Mint green tiles kept coming up in conversation for the owners of this bathroom. “It’s a colour that was often used in pre-war homes,” says Brooke. Plus, the family had also recently holidayed in Thailand and fallen in love with a celadon-green tiled bathroom at their resort. In her research into bathrooms of the period, Brooke noted that tiles were often used on the vanity top. “That encouraged us to go with mosaic tiles instead of stone. It’s a contemporary nod to the period of the home.” Another modern move was using a Trend product from Sareen Stone to apply the shower wall’s mosaic. “It comes in 300mm sheets and each piece is numbered to make creating the pattern an easy process for the tiler,” says Brooke. A matching mosaic was selected for the bench and floor. Simple semi-recessed white basins and white accessories break up the expanse of green.
