Keep it simple for the smartest style

While bathrooms may be getting bigger its the savvy choices we are making that have had the most profound effect on our wellness centres according to one of Australia’s leading experts.

Simon Hodgson, Director of the Kitchen and Bathroom Design Institute (KBDI), says homeowners are investing more than ever in the redesign of their bathrooms, consulting specialist designers and making smart choices in terms of fittings and appliances to create a serene, therapeutic area in which to relax and revitalise our bodies.

Freestanding baths are a favourite choice, space permitting, as are matching accessories that are sympathetic to the overall profiles of major items such as basin, bath and toilet. And to maximise the perception of space, a palette of matte neutral textures and finishes is favoured for walls and floors.

Kohler’s Evok freestanding bath with its eye-catching geometric styling and generous capacity is the perfect statement-piece for a master bathroom while the brand’s Singulier basin tapware and matching accessories are the ideal counterbalance bold design softened with beautiful curves.

The bathroom pictured shows a mix of Singulier five star WELS rated basin mixer with matching towel rail, towel ring and toilet roll holder. The addition of the Kohler Ladena undermount sink is an example of understatement allowing other elements to shine.

A linear timber storage case, ideal for candles but also for housing towels and toiletries, is a good contrast with the deep charcoal of the floor and wall while the wall-mounted Kohler July bath mixer ensures the uncluttered, stylish ambience of the space is maintained.

Finally, the Kohler Parliament back to wall toilet suite, which is four star WELS rated, confirms the ethos that water conservation need never be compromised in the name of style!
