Often in a design project a feature surface is
matched with a quiet one to bring out the best
in the former. However, a trained eye can bring
more than one strong material together for even
greater impact. And that was the case with the
master ensuite and powder room featured here
– two of three bathrooms created for the home
by designer Angelique Armstrong.
“There are three principal surfaces featured
in the master suite,” says Armstrong. “The walls
in the shower and toilet areas are finished in
book-matched large format Neolith porcelain
sheet to dramatic effect while a herringbone
floor runs right through the space. This elegant
floor was laid wood tile by individual wood tile
– not in sheets – creating a warm, crafted feel.”
“The other lead surface is the travertine
stone tile seen on the balance of the wall sur-
faces. While all these prominent finishes are
eye-catching in their own right, their shared soft
tonal qualities mean they work well together.”
Accentuating the look, the rich Vanilla Noir
Caesarstone vanity benchtop provides a dark
counterpoint to the pale wall surfaces, as does
the dark stained oak vanity itself.
The cantilevered nature of the vanity adds to
