A touch of theatre
This powder room effectively juggles visual interest and practicality – a feature vanity wall is played up while a less used shower is tucked away out of immediate sight
Designed by Natalie Du Bois, Du Bois Design
From the designer:
- This bathroom is mainly used as a powder room but from time to time is also used as an additional guest bathroom.
- As the room is used as a powder room more often, I hid the shower behind a tiled wall to create a less utilitarian looking space.
- My homeowners were keen on a dark and moody aesthetic – so I specified a grey and black colour scheme, which is enhanced with a mix of soft light from the pendants and more dramatic Led lighting within the ceiling which washes down the walls.
- A black embossed feature tile was specified to become a theatrical backdrop, with the balance of the floors and walls all tiled the same grey stone porcelain tile to keep the rest of the space more minimal looking.
- Storage and benchtop surfaces were not a priority for this guest bathroom, however I suggested a small area be dedicated for toilet rolls and guest towels storage which I tucked away from sight behind the door so as to not take away from the dramatic look achieved around the basin area.
- For a smallish room, this bathroom surprisingly doesn’t feel cramped – it has a large 1600mm shower space as well as ample storage and room to move.
- Recessed niches within the shower and above the basin provide a handy location for toiletries while the basin shelf even has a power point fitted to the side out of view.
- The toilet roll holder was placed to the side of the cabinetry unit to ensure the dramatic focal relief tiled wall is kept clean of any distractions.
