‘Get creative with colour’ says Resene Colour Award winner Kelly Gammie
When it comes to designing bathrooms, we often work with Kelly Gammie from Eucalyptus Design in Auckland.
Kelly loves working with colour in bathrooms, so it’s no surprise she was recently awarded a Resene Total Colour Residential Interior Colour Creativity Award for her creative colour blocking in the “Arty Art Deco” home.
Kelly says that as a designer, she loves a restricted budget challenge and believes there is nothing better to get the creative juices flowing. Colours can transform a space and turn your bathroom into a stylish retreat.
“This art deco home needed to be given some wow factor to bring out its lovely bones and in the bathroom, the feature wall draws on classic art deco geometric patterns for inspiration,” says Kelly.
Kelly says “Deco influenced colours and a roll of masking tape enabled me to create this permanent artwork. Timber floors give warmth and continue the classic feel of the space. And the rounded shapes used for the shower, bath, basin and mirror were essential to highlight the art deco lines of the house.”
“In this bathroom I used a Kohler Symbol basin mixer and Stillness Floor Mount Bath Filler to add a unique sculptural element to the feature wall and increase the sense of elegance,” says Kelly.
Kelly also won a Bathroom Design Award at the Waikato Home Show earlier this year with her Eucalyptus Design bathroom which has now been recreated at the Kohler Design Centre in Auckland.
