RENOVATION: Hexagon Bathroom
This space started off as a crowded bathroom which had a bath, shower and vanity.
It was a odd shaped room (very angled) so when we got to discussing different ideas for what we would like to do, both of us wanted to make the space new and interesting.
Leah had the idea of "a cracking egg" and how that might look cool in the space. To create this, I used big hexagon tiles and painted the top of the walls and roof black. So that the white tiles flowed into the black painted walls, I used black grout. Because the room had so much to visually look at with the genius of the tiling, the rest of the room was designed to be bare and simple.
Keeping it simple:
- Shower is a simple sheet of glass,
- Vanity is a floating piece of beautiful camphor laurel (one single coat of wax with the bark on to scent the room) and a
- Single hanging light.
The skill in this room was to not overdo it and lose the magic. There is an art to balancing the WOW factor and simple spaces.
