This week, we have done 4 different options for iron lady chef's bathrooms
1st option: MOSAIC
a very Mediterranean look, gives one a seabreeze feel, cool and balmy...hmm, i'm thinking of Greece now with her blue seas and white washed houses. sigh. i need a holiday. ok. i'm digressing here.
2nd Option: RETROLICIOUS
This is very much inspired by the old flats in Tiong Bahru. White bricks and retro wooden furniture. Use of small black and white tiles which resembles those small tiles which you find in peranakan homes.
3rd Option: Simple and fuss free
White and grey tiles to frame the entire toilet leaving only the vanity area where we play up the colours abit to give it an identity.
Iron lady chef can choose an accent tile for the vanity area, it doesn't have to be blue mosaic..below is just an illustration of the area and space which we are considering in this option.
4th Option - HOTELuxury
This is something which we really like because we travel quite often and besides the bed in the hotel room, the next thing i look for is the toilet and the shower area.
I LOVE LOVE hotels which uses limestone for their walls or vanity counters because they give it such a rich and warm texture, plus the huge basins and clean sparkling taps and rainshowers...ooommmm...makes me want to soak in the bath tub for a long long time.
anyway, back to our design, we are proposing something similar to limestone wall tiles and timber flooring, very similar to those you find in resort hotels...sigh, now i'm thinking of fluffy white towels and rich thick bathrobes, electronic glass weighing machines, scented soap and a brushing my teeth!
ok i know this all sounds pretty weird and "what has this got to do with design???"
actually it has everything to do with it.
because design is all about living and senses. that's how we do it.
if we can provoke, invigorate and inspire.
that is a good design.
