Cabinets: This powder bath features WWWoods Shiloh cabinetry in maple wood, Aspen door style with a Dovetail Gray painted finish. Countertop: The 3cm countertops are a Cambria quartz in Galloway, paired with a matching splashlette. Fixtures and Fittings: From Kohler, we have an oval undermount vanity sink in Mirrored French Gold. The faucet, also from Kohler, is a Finial Traditional Wall-Mount Bath sink faucet trim with lever handles and 9-3/4” spout in French Gold.

The design brief for this ensuite project was to use natural materials to create a warm, luxurious, contemporary space that is both sociable and intimate. To create a continuous flow from the master bedroom into the ensuite, wood-effect porcelain tiles run throughout the lower level and then are echoed on the base of the shower. On the walls and floors of the wet areas, the Ripples designer specified natural stone tiles to reflect the client’s love of natural materials. The clients requested a seating area in the bathroom which resulted in a clever floating bench that wraps around the central dividing wall. In the spacious shower, a large showerhead is angled to spray water straight down into the sunken floor, ensuring splashes are kept to a minimum and eliminating the need for a glass screen. To maximise storage, meanwhile, there are mirrored cabinets recessed into the wall above the basin, complete with LED lights inside, with a bespoke vanity drawer unit underneath, and a wall-mounted tall cupboard located at the end of the bench, opposite the wet area. The contemporary lines of the freestanding bath make for a real feature in the corner of this ensuite. The results are a beautiful ensuite which the homeowners were thrilled with and an award-winning design for Ripples.

Powder room renovation with custom furniture style vanity and shiplap walls

This homeowner requested a powder room that "Sparkles"! Building on the custom designed and made vanity, I chose a layered paint technique that used grays and a silver metallic wash. The pure white marble countertops sets off a curve that follows the bow front of the vanity. For the 'sparkle', I added the small chandelier of stars shaped crystals, the starburst drawer pulls and a faceted crystal door handle. A deep turquoise paper with a metallic tracery pattern finishes this powder room with "Sparkle"! Photo by John Carrington
