TROPICAL RETREAT

WONDER WALL Wallpaper is a great way to add ‘wow’ factor and make your space modern in a reasonably easy and affordable way. We used ‘Ashford Tropics’ on the back wall to catch the eye as you enter the bathroom. Banana leaf and greenery is in high demand at the moment as it adds a touch of colour and has a natural and soothing effect.

IT’S LIT We chose a gorgeous wall-hung vanity in natural oak, going with a narrow vanity to create more space and two drawers for storage. To draw focus to this area, we added an LED strip light under the vanity, which stops it from becoming dark and acts as a night light. We also placed an LED wall light above the mirror for task lighting.

LITTLE DETAILS We chose the Waterware back-to-wall acrylic bath for its rounded edge, which softens the space and creates better flow to the toilet. We chose frameless glass for the shower door to create the illusion of more space. Adding two LED feature lights in the recess is a good way to create mood lighting.

SHELF LIFE Two floating shelves above the toilet help break up the long toilet wall. This is a great place to add your personal touch. Having these shelves in the same natural oak finish as the vanity adds balance and consistenc­y. We have also lined these shelves up with a 600mm shampoo recess.

TILE STYLE We selected simple, modern and timeless tiles, and decided to have the floor tiles stretch up the long toilet wall to add contrast against the white freestandi­ng bath and toilet. We didn’t want to draw attention to the shower wall, so we stuck with simple white tiles here.

TAPWARE We went with simple, affordable, quality tapware and accessorie­s throughout the bathroom. Meir ticked all the boxes.

PAINT We love using Aalto Paint as it offers a premium-grade coating which has excellent opacity, mould inhibitors and is wipeable, making it ideal for bathrooms.
