Scandanavian Style Bathrooms

We recently across a lovely blog called My Scandinavian Home run by Niki. She sources and posts an array of inspiring images of the home. What attracted our attention initially was the unique way in which accessories pull a bathroom design together. For instance the image to the right is a very neutral space; white suite, grey floor and pale walls. The individual details are what personalise this room. The mirror is quite large, possibly intended to create the illusion of more space and the art can be said to contrast with the simplicity with its surroundings [source via Plante Deco]

We like the minimal oval shape bath which and basin on a pedestal... the mixing of modern and old is a look that we feel works quite well.

The image to the left presents a very different look. It appears that the bath is constructed entirely out of stone which recaptures the beauty of sculpting out of natural materials... just like the marble sculptors of Greece used to. To us, this design is quite rustic but we love the contrast of the chrome taps against the weathered stone bath. This is another instance of mixing old with new; the juxtaposition of the two creates a look which is both on trend and quite unique. To the right is the basin from the same bathroom. [source]

2012 Bathroom Trends: Marble

The housetohome website recently posted an interesting article about how to keep your bathroom space looking fresh and modern. Many of the trends are also popular among our own client's wish lists so we thought we'd share a 'trend a day' with you. 

NUMBER ONE: Marble.

Marble is up-market and luxurious. Not only can it be fitted to walls and floors, it is also possible to have a marble bath, furniture and counter tops. 

This particular image exemplifies how you can make marble look contemporary. Team it with a white suite, chrome accessories and voila! You have a bathroom that once only existed in your dreams. 

Fired Earth  have predicted that their East Hampton white marble tiles will be their next best seller.
