A BRIGHT WHITE PALETTE WITH POPS OF GREEN AND TIMBER-LOOK TILES TRANSFORMED A TIRED '90S BATHROOM INTO A FUN, FABULOUS AND FUNCTIONAL FAMILY SPACE

- LAURA BARRY

Colour school A COLOUR PALETTE OF WHITE AND GREEN WITH TIMBER ACCENTS IS AN ELEGANT SCHEME THAT WILL ENDURE THE TEST OF TIME. SMALL DETAILS, SUCH AS THE FAUX-MARBLE PORCELAIN TILE AND LITTLE WHITE COLONIAL CERAMIC CAP TILE, BOTH FROM CONCEPT TILES, PROVIDE DEPTH AND CONTRAST WITHOUT COMPETING FOR ATTENTION WITH OTHER FEATURES OF THE BATHROOM.

Low maintenance A BACK-TO-WALL BATH, SUCH AS THIS ONE FROM REECE, GIVES THE APPEARANCE OF A FREESTANDING BATH, WHILE ALSO MAKING CLEANING A BREEZE.

Personal touch MELANIE AND ELIZABETH OF IVY + PIPER BELIEVE THAT BATHROOMS ARE THE PERFECT PLACE TO ADD A QUIRKY TOUCH OR EXPRESS YOUR PERSONALITY. "THE TURNED-TIMBER WALL LIGHTS SOFTENED THE RECTANGULAR LINES IN THE ROOM, AND THE SHADES FELT MORE PLAYFUL WHEN WE RAN THE EMBROIDERED STRIPE ON THE BIAS," SAYS MELANIE. WALL LIGHTS ARE FROM MOTIVO IN MELBOURNE.
