HG bathroom special
180 | AUSTRALIAN HOUSE &GARDEN
Gelato walls and jewel-like tapware were the answer for this small-but-sweet Tasmanian ensuite.
THE BRIEF
With just 4m² to work with,
launceston-based interior
designer lydia maskiell had to
approach this petite ensuite
with scale very much in mind.
“it was important to the owners
thatthe space felt open and
bright, but had a softnessto
it,” she says.DESIGN APPROACH
layering and colour were the
routes lydia took to achieving
apleasing design in this small
space. “i seized the opportunity
tolayer textures and play
withshape.” the vertical lines
ofthe joinery are set against
thelooseness of the grain in the
marble-look tiles and sweeping
arch of the mirror. the walls are
paintedDulux bamboo shoot.
“i absolutely love this colour,”
says lydia. “it’s natural, tranquil
and the perfect choice for
meetingthe clients’ wishes that
their ensuite be a soft and
relaxed space.” tapware in
brushedGold (a special finish)
accessorises the roomnicely.
the floating vanity was custom
designed for the ensuite.
“We needed it to be less than
900mm wide and not detract
from those green walls.”>
