All that glitters is gold mosaic in this luxe powder room
Glamour, sophistication and a sense of enhanced space are all features of this granite and gold mosaic powder room
Glamour was the key theme in the brief to architect and interior designer Richard Archer for this light-catching powder room.
“In fact, this was the owner’s description of his ideal powder room for this major renovation to an older style Sydney apartment.”
Archer relished the task of turning this small internal space into a talking point and the owners are thrilled with its transformation into a world of matte black and brilliant gold.
“Curved walls of seamless black Corian clad the shower and surround the toilet. These matte elements disappear into the background when contrasted with the brilliant gold mosaic tiled wall that curves around the Nero Tempesta black marble countertop”
Storage – always a vital consideration in a powder room – is deftly concealed behind the mirror, with LED lighting washing the gold mosaic above the wall-mounted tap and basin.
Below this again, the vanity cabinet is mirror fronted adding to the sense of spaciousness. And a large mirror on a side wall does similar.
Keeping the space fresh and airy, an artfully placed quiet extractor was introduced – avoiding the need for unsightly fans or grilles.
