ROMANCING THE STONE

the look

Like all good relationships, the key to expressing your feminine side in a shared bathroom is compromise. The blush basin nods to the pink interiors trend, and femininity is subtly interpreted through slender brass hardware and delicate accessories. Meanwhile, the floor-to-ceiling Alpina marble tiles, clutter-free layout and floating sink enhance the feeling of spaciousness.

1 If bold, feminine style isn’t your cup of tea, tone it down with pieces that whisper, not shout, like this neutral pink basin, dainty soap dish and pleated pendant.

2 Using subtle details to inform your colour palette creates harmony and continuity. Here, the basin matches the marble tiles’ blush-toned veins.

3 Love the look of marble but not the upkeep? Make a statement with marble wall tiles and switch to porcelain tiles (which are easier to clean) for the floor.

TERRAZZO TROPICANO

1 When mixing multiple colours and materials, stick to no more than three types of surface, and one finish per material. This will ensure it doesn’t look overworked.

2 Terrazzo is made from granite, glass or marble chips set into concrete or resin, but you can also buy smooth porcelain tiles that replicate the look.

3 Temper bright surfaces with pared-back tapware. On top of these eye-catching colours, bold fixtures would compete for attention and overwhelm the senses.
