Our new bathroom
Comments (4)Hi Emma, me again. Congratulations on your new home! Very exciting Although not yours, draw you eye towards that rattan drawer unit near the shower, these textures and natural tones are perfect for this house. They help modernize a dated interior because the natural element relax the space and blend into the often dated timbers that were used in the past. Today we have gone towards lighter and weathered grey toned timbers or completely contrast with ebonies, blacks and rich browns. The timber direction of our pasts were ore influenced by reds, and into the oranges. This is because timber was often stained. So, I suggest.... Purchase a unit like this one, or introduce a small timber stool near your bath, they are not just dressing, they are useful, taking off shoes, placing your bath accessories or even having a resting place for your well deserved glass of wine. Replace your mirror with a timber framed one, and the window dressing with a timber blind. It will conceal most of the window frame which is brass and dates the room, however timber blinds will retain privacy and still allow you to direct soft lit into the room without ever having to close the blinds altogether. These are not expensive if you buy ready to hang ones from places like spotlight or Lincraft. Just measure then side of your window frame, and buy your best fit. I would replace your cabinet handles with chrome ones to tie into your other chrome fixtures, this will also look more contemporary. Possibly also your tap ware, which can be bought at hardware stores. Easy to do yourself, no trades required. Just a simple tool that you also buy from a hardware which will help loosen tight fixtures. There's much more you could do if your willing to give it a go, but as it's your first home, perhaps try these simple things and build your confidence. I'm happy to offer more suggestions if you want t tackle some more....See MoreOur new bathroom
Comments (7)It's all in the planning, get the floor levels right and you will never have a problem. I've done 4 bathrooms like this, all in small areas with only a 900 or 1000 screen. 1800 wide is pretty wide, as the screen goes in last, I would suggest that you re access at the end. You do get a bit of spray in front but it all drains back, if you have a door, the water drips off both you and the door when you get out. Another thing to consider is super easy maintenance. Quick scrape with a squeegee, easier to mop, no runners to trap dirt and mould....See MoreOur new bathroom
Comments (15)My favourite design things are things where if someone suggested them to me I would've said, "Nope, nope, nope, uh-uh, no" and then I see them in situ and I go, "Hmm, yes". My point is, I love that shower screen. :)...See MoreDecorating bathroom and bedroom
Comments (8)Re the bathroom...I'm a big fan of white linen as it is so timeless and sophisticated and works absolutely any/everywhere! Having said that, if you wanted to mix it up, then maybe navy (eg http://www.bedbathntable.com.au/towels-all/dorothy-g-dorothy-080103) or black patterned (eg http://www.bedbathntable.com.au/towels-all/trellis-towel). Any textured towels should also be considered (eg http://www.sheridan.com.au/stevie-towel-collection-sh26-b114-c277-001-white.html). OR, go tre chi-chi and get personalised (eg http://www.sheridan.com.au/bathroom/bathroom-personalisation.html). As for your bedroom, I think you've got two options: stay with neutrals or bring in some colour! If you were going to go the colour option, you could add that mustard yellow for consistency throughout the home, or go with Chloe's suggestion of turquiose, or a pink. If you stick with neutrals, then make sure you add heaps of textures (which will really add nterest); linens, faux furs, chunky knits, silks. Think rug layering, scatter and euro cushions, throws etc. a series of artworks (black and white photos or abstracts in white frames for example) would also add that little sumthin-sumthin too! Hope that's food for thought! Merry Xmas!...See MoreStecki Construction
