Dark star: A modern and elegant bathroom

Smoky tones meet a whisper of sparkle in this evocative space. This Sydney bathroom is proof that deep hues can work beautifully in a modest space, especially one that has plenty of natural light.

Tile details: Polished Pietra Grey marble on walls and floor, Marble & Ceramic Corp; mosaics on feature wall, Bisazza.

The mirrored front conceals a cupboard that has been recessed into the wall behind providing much needed storage without cutting into the room’s space.

A blade wall hides the loo and yet has feature status thanks to a coat of glittering mosaics. The full-length mirrors do double duty, casting reflected light around as well as providing a visual break from the metres of marble and the single towel rails are handily placed.

The clean, minimalist features adds to the luxurious feel of this space. The shower area has both a rainshower for a spa-like soak and a rail – ideal for families, as the showerhead can be raised and lowered easily as needed.

Shower details: Parisi railshower, Domayne; D20 ceiling-mounted soaker, Minosa.

The crisp white features pop against the dark background and help to lighten the space.

Basin details: Scoop, Minosa.

Tapware details: Try Quadro mixer, and Laser bath filler, both Parisi.

This beautiful big bath sitting along the 3m wall is sophisticated elegance and is also a perfect size for families.

Bath details: Solar, Minosa
