A CLOSER LOOK
What you can see in this bathroom
- Narrow vertical wall tiles and a speckled floor.
- Floating timber-look vanity and mirrored storage.
- Clear shower screen and a recessed shower niche.
Give a small room a clear rhythm
Narrow vertical tiles run through this Frankston bathroom, giving the walls a consistent pattern. Their restrained colour lets the shape and grout lines provide the detail. Below, the speckled floor introduces a different texture without adding a competing block of colour. The two surfaces make the room distinctive while still belonging to the same palette.
Keep the useful pieces visually light
The vanity sits clear of the floor, with a white countertop basin above and mirrored storage at eye level. A clear shower screen allows the wall pattern to continue across the view from the doorway. Inside the shower, the recessed niche provides storage within the tiled wall rather than projecting into the room.
Finish with a little warmth
The cabinet’s timber tone and the warm metallic appearance of the tapware balance the pale tiles. There is plenty to look at in the finishes, but the number of contrasting elements stays limited. For someone planning a smaller bathroom, the useful idea is that character can come from texture, proportion and a few repeated finishes.
