Starting with a prospect of a smaller space, the designer/owner changed all that, creating a his and hers ensuite with space, textures stone and a touch of bling

Designed by Kate Gardham, Sticks + Stones Boutique Design + Construction

From the designer/homeowner:

We purchased part way through a new build in 2020 and had the opportunity of re-designing the internal layout so the flow and functionality would work in with our busy, entertaining couple (no children) lifestyle.

The original design proposed to us was a smaller ensuite and wardrobe all in one, which didn’t allow storage for all my clothing and makeup.

We wanted an ensuite where we could both get ready at the same time without getting in each other’s way – twin sinks were able to achieve this function for us. 

This also gave us the benefit of extra storage. 


We requested a skylight to be added above the shower for natural light.

We used Blum storage solutions in the bathroom drawers, to keep them well organised. 

A Hafele trio docking station was added inside a drawer for charging phones, toothbrushes, hairdryers. 

This was a practical placement and from a design perspective I felt that the plugs should be hidden and not ruin the lovely finishes we picked.

The simplicity of the sublet curves in the cabinetry and benchtop has a lovely flow on effect and cohesion from our kitchen. 

Japanese finger tiles, brushed brass accents, steel and Black Oiled American Oak in Crown cut was purposely specified in dark tones to complement and pop against the leathered super white granite and gave us the tactility we love.
