Refined meets edgy might not sound a winning combination for a young person's bathing space, but in the right designer's hands the result can tell a different story.

The client wanted just this balance, for this chic children's bathroom by designer Rachel Barnes of Ingrid Geldof Design. In addition, the design was to use the best quality finishes, fittings and materials.

"The leading look is industrial with a contemporary pipe showerhead, a chunky red mixer, clean-lined raised mirrors with integrated linear lights, concrete wall tiles and Belgian bluestone floor tiles.," she says.

However, these elements are balanced by the honed marble benchtop and vanity in warm solid oak. The long vanity, with rounded sink, combines softness and convenience, making the space welcoming.

A simple, generous heated towel rail system furthers the industrial slant and at the same time adds to the pampering feel. Underfloor heating, ventilation and a fan heater add to the sense of comfort.

The bathroom offers an easy balance of strong lines and curvaceous elements.
