Thinking behind the arrangement of furniture/fixtures:
At first glance, this bathroom looks very colourful. However, when you pare it back we are working with quite a neutral base with 600 x 600-millimetre grey tiles on the floor and walls, a white mosaic feature tile, timber vanity and brushed-nickel tapware.
The colour is added through a pink grout and pink terrazzo stone, which makes a large impact within the space.
