A quiet palette, sense of rhythm and repeat, floating cabinetry and playful mirror all come together to give this bathroom a presence all of its own

Designed by Leonie Hamill, Cube Dentro

From the designer:

The brief:

The owners of this new build in Auckland invited Cube Dentro to complete a contemporary design for their main bathroom.

A sense of surprise and drama was requested – essentially, the homeowners did not want a typical bathroom but they were hot on functionality.

The resulting design has embraced every opportunity to showcase the unexpected, while committing to an efficient layout.

Response and highlights:

  • A colour palette in soothing grey creates a timeless aesthetic.
  • Layers of textures cohesively applied to create a sense of rhythm and repeat – e.g. the basin and tapware in matching material, the little timber stool echoes the custom-made American Oak vanity unit, the strip lighting around the mirror is repeated under the floating cabinetry. 
  • A bespoke floating vanity with a basin positioned off-centre creates a little drama but also provides functional benchtop space. 

  • Repeating the playfulness is a customised mirror with warm strip lighting and a built in de-mister – the curved nature of the mirror helps to soften the room and also reflects the incredible pendant lighting.
  • A wet room area behind a glass screen maximises the feeling of space.
  • The pendant lighting choice is artful and original, almost like an expression of soap bubbles.
  • The use of oversized tiles in porcelain extends from floor to ceiling and establishes a vibe of luxe and space.
  • The shutters on the window create privacy and are a perfect match with the dark towel rail and switchgear.
  • Sitting on a slice of white marble (not quite full length) is a matching basin and tapware – altogether creating something offbeat that looks incredible.

Our homeowners are delighted with the result of this heavily-used room, commending its beauty, functionality and innovation.
