Timber touch

Wooden floors and vanity in dark, rich colours are set to make a statement.

Bringing in an organic material such as timber not only creates a direct link with nature, but also gives the bathroom a warm, inviting and timeless look. To add a different texture to the space, you can go for timber flooring right outside the shower cubicle or the bathtub. These days with look-alike in ceramic, it is easier to create the look without worrying about the material. It certainly gives a nice backdrop to the hi-quality fittings such as this Artize shower. “Timber can be used in bathrooms successfully till the time it is treated to handle the humidity. All flooring companies have a special range for the bathrooms. Span Floors’ Outwud Vulcan remains very stable, reducing the possibility of open joints, and is also termite treated. A combination of simply two or three materials such as wood, concrete and the whites of sanitary ware can help create a remarkable effect.

Graff’s Dressage and Expo furniture collections are developed in wood with a strong artisanal character, fusing the most advanced design features with the warmth of timber. Both collections are designed by the Italy-based Nespoli e Novara studio.
