BLUE NOTES

This family bathroom puts the fun into functional.

The brief

With four kids using the bathroom of this home in South Australia’s Port Willunga the emphasis was on good storage, delivered with a playful twist. “It needed to be fresh and open, too,” says Emily Rogers, senior designer at Fabrikate, who worked on this project with director Kate Harry.

The design

“We tried to cover all the storage bases in this bathroom, with a good-size drawer for each child in the vanity, plus hooks for towels, wall shelves and concealed storage behind the mirror for toiletries,” says Rogers. The child-friendly blue of the cabinetry injects a little fun into the room, as do the timber drawer pulls and white taps. This is a super-functional bathroom, with easy-to-clean porcelain tiles and a hardy Essastone vanity top. Fabrikate, Adelaide, SA; fabrikate.com.au
