Two bathrooms but one aesthetic – that was the outcome for this design
The featured master ensuite and family bathroom in this home, boast the same material palette – but there are differences

Cohesion is a great word when it comes to interior design, and the two upstairs bathrooms seen here, along with a powder room downstairs, all share common traits.
Both bathrooms feature wall-hung oak vanities, black brushed stainless steel tapware, tiled surfaces, quirky ceiling-hung matte black ladder heated towel rails, and concealed LEDs on motion sensors that light up when anyone enters the rooms.
The bathrooms’ designers, Yellowfox and QPC Build Group, chose materials that complemented each other and also the rest of the contemporary home. The oak adds warmth to the spaces, while the tiles, black tapware and use of LEDs add the appropriate modern look and feel. And the downstairs powder room follow the same warm meets modern aesthetic.

However there are differences. As well as having a single basin in the ensuite, versus two in the main bathroom, the family bathroom also includes a free-standing tub and a recessed mirror cabinet. Another important shift between the spaces is the shower stall design.
The designers felt the main bathroom layout worked best with a glass-divide, walk-through shower. Opting for a frameless glass shower in the long, narrow room meant they could create a wet area at the end of the bathroom, with the bathtub positioned directly behind the shower.

However, in the master ensuite, the designers went with a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower stall. This anchors the long vanity bench, while at the same time providing privacy between vanity and shower.
Hanging heated towel rails in both bathrooms draw the eye. However, these are also practical choices as the hanging rails are very handy to use. Another quirky element is seen in the ensuite – a window that can be rendered clear or frosted with the simple touch of a button.
