Not really, haephestus is right, the look above is based on lint elements, but you could utilize similar principles, and try to replicate the tones and textures you like in it. However you achieve this, try to cover as much as possible of the black sofas, whether it be an oversized throw, neatly folded over the backrest and down onto the seat, but not over the arms, group large cushions and smaller ones along he back if deep enou, or choose an end to place them. Putting white furniture next to large black pieces, will always change the outcome of this style, if you do that thinking you'd like to linden the room, the effect will be opposite, a the contrast will only high lit the sofas irrelevance. To minimize the black, you should bring in a little more in the corm of accents, like those hurricane lanterns in the first image, symmetry, as in topiary pots either side of a mirror, or pairing lamps on a console table etc. Group a mass of slim black pictures frames with a theme of prints in an organized cluster on a feature wall, the more the better for impact,id say 3 rows of 3 for example. An upholstered diamond buttoned ottoman in a linen with a tray top to house your decor tastes, always load up your coffee table with things to spark interest or conversation, at arms reach. The inclusion of black to this theme, which is a relaxed provincial look, will make it classic. And perhaps more sophisticated. balance is very important with this colour palette, too much black and it starts to feel opposite....cold and contemporary, too much white and it will look retro, but the right amount of creams, beiges, caramels and greys, basically tonal colour range will achieve the look you're after. And layer, just when you think it's enough, throw in one more. Pros always need to know when topair back a rooms styling, but often a home enthusiast are too restrained, perhaps scared of the result, but everything can be undone! Good luck.

Okay, here's an update. It seems that the only 'recommended' product is fibre cement sheets as they will not absorb humidity. All the other brands mentioned above didn't recommend their own product when they found out it was going in the bathroom. Scyon and Hardiegroove were the options they recommended. I found providers in Brissy but freight was in excess of $250... Bunning had them in theory, but only for full packs (20 sheets) which was more than I needed so that didn't work either, but... then they told me they also have another brand 'Duragroove' which they did stock. To summarise: I think I will be getting: - Duragroove (http://www.bunnings.com.au/search/products?q=hardigroove) - Some kind of nice pine railing Thank you everyone for your comments/help and I hope this info helps you too Denise.

The tiles look straight above the bench top the bench top looks uneven that's why the gap is so big. They usually silicone around the edge so you probably won't even see how big the gap was. Good luck hope everything works out!

Hi Badobbs, you could easily choose a very dark charcoal or black tile for the floor and then white tile for the walls. It depends on the style you want. All one colour is elegant and a bit like a hotel (especially in a faux marble) whilst a black floor is a little edgier. It then depends on the vanity and tapware. If you choose monochromatic or black and white, then choose a wood grain vanity to add a feeling of warmth. I'd add gold or copper or brushed nickel tapware depending on the vibe you want to create.
