Balancing An Industrial Palette With Timber Accents In Modern Bathroom Design

We're in the midst of a golden age of design. An influx of innovative projects has opened our eyes to the value of erstwhile un-useable industrial warehouse-inspired products.

We're seeing more concrete, stone and even corrugated iron materials used as backdrops in building projects. A lot more of an industrial influence - black tap ware, exposed pipes and beams, with minimalistic use of marble and reclaimed timber bench tops has created a new template for home building.

We were particularly impressed with the use of our Recycled Messmate as bench tops and bathroom drawers in this ​Young Gun Builders display home in Moama. 

The use of geometric wallpaper and grey toned sink ware is particularly flattering. The black taps, shower heads and window frames add a resort style chic to the overall design.

Gone are the days of colonial style, ornate, timber-on-timber kitchens and bathrooms. We're thrilled to be part of the more design-conscious era where complimentary materials are used to accentuate the natural beauty of recycled timber.

It's a time of bold ideas, where pops of bright colour (see towels in picture two) and harsh man made materials such as concrete, glass and metal have become the perfect partners to sustainable timber. The heavily textured posts that you can see in the shower-facing garden are a perfect example of how a product once considered unsightly and in need of milling has been elevated to a level of living art. They hold a rare, sculptural quality which screams 'modern.' The splashes of bamboo leaves add extra harmony to the bathroom window view.

What would have once been considered a clash of taste is now the ultimate in futuristic design. Talk to us about how we can assist you in creating a similar look for your next project. For a product with the longevity it holds, you'II be surprised at how affordable it is.
