Tasked with the redesign of a bathroom into a modern yet traditional ensuite, Lion Ox developed a subtle material palette with pops of rich elements that deliver warmth and a subtle shine. A three-way tile selection in cool earth tones, combined with white, cover the walls and floor.

A large format stone-look tile with a grey base covers the floor, meeting the same-sized square tile on three walls in a faux-marble finish. The final wall boasts a feature tile in white with a three-dimensional hexagon relief.

Combining the stone-look patterns on the floor and wall tiles with the modern, high-gloss geometric pattern of the feature tiles enhances the connection between old and new. Rising three quarters of the way up the walls, the tiles form a wainscoting effect that further references the architectural age of the home.

Traditional crown mouldings run the perimeter of the room, adding a touch of character, which is further highlighted by what is left of the original window trim sitting around the newly updated and more energy-efficient window.

Setting off this modern yet neutral material palette is a pop of shine in the form of brushed-brass fixtures. This modern take on an age-old material adds a richness that pulls the whole look together.

Adding warmth to the material selection is a timber vanity with a reeded finish and clean white solid-surface countertop beneath an overmount rectangular basin. Curved edges on the vanity and basin soften any angular lines and perfectly complement the redesign of a bathroom into a modern yet traditional ensuite.

While the hydrotherapy of warm water and soothing bubbles once came with design limitations, in terms of a bath’s style and positioning, the latest offerings from Decina Bathroomware prove that is no longer an issue.

Employing more than 30 years of manufacturing experience, the Australian- owned company has developed a collection of freestanding baths that include spa jets to offer the ultimate luxury bathing experience.

The luxury freestanding Elisi Contour spa bath boasts 14 jets and is operated by remote control, while the 750-watt heat boost pump is installed within the bath’s perimeter creating an ultra-thin, streamline finish.

The Australian-made Mintori free-standing spa bath is made for sharing, thanks
to generous reclining lumbar supports. It comes with a choice of 14 or 16 jets and features removable side panels that affix with a patented magnetic system.

With room for two, the round Orion Dolce Vita freestanding spa offers an ideal size for smaller bathrooms with its 1570mm diameter. This Australian-made unit features remote-control operation, an optional overflow, two headrests and removable side panels to allow for easy pump installation and maintenance.

All made from premium, scratch-resistant acrylic, Decina spa baths are covered by a 10-year warranty, with a five-year warranty on pumps, jets and fittings.

The ease of installation of this collection has home renovators and builders excited. Adjustable, self-supporting feet make these baths simple to install and with no additional hob, frame or tiling required, they can be positioned almost anywhere, making the concept of a day-spa at home even more accessible.

The post 3 Baths to Help you Recreate Day Spa Ambiance at Home appeared first on Completehome.

When the homeowners approached Better Bathrooms & Kitchens for a well-deserved renovation, they requested their new space exude a luxurious hotel spa aesthetic with a relaxed feel. To meet this brief, the dividing wall was removed to open up the space and the depth of the existing linen storage area was reduced. The bath and shower combo was removed and a large, luxurious walk-in shower was integrated instead.

Highlight windows were included in the new space to allow natural light to flood the bathroom. A front- and back-lit mirror was installed to add interest and increase the spacious feeling. The choice of tiles can make or break a bathroom; in this case, the earthy tones selected have accentuated the room’s spa haven aesthetic. Matching floor and wall tiles were selected to create cohesion, and the tiles were extended all the way up to the ceiling.

The end result is a modern bathroom that oozes luxury and encourages relaxation.

These products are the epitome of opulence, with their generous dimensions that allow you the opportunity to experience full-body submersion and dual bathing. Thanks to the thermal-efficient, sanitary-grade acrylic design, the water temperature can also be maintained for extended periods, resulting in longer, more luxurious soaks for you and those you love.

All these benefits do not sacrifice style. For a more modern bathroom, we love the Regent or Hamptons tubs, both created with clean lines and subtle design features to really capture a sense of class.

For those with more contemporary bathrooms, you cannot go past the Florencia,
a market leader when it comes to the emerging trend for large, round freestanding baths.

Decina’s freestanding baths are easy to install and come with adjustable, self-supporting feet. They are scratch- and chemical-resistant with a high-gloss finish, so the beauty of your bath will last for years to come. Unlike many others, they’re made in Australia and come backed by a 10-year warranty.

Keeping up with all things European, the Caroma line of Artisan basins reflects the freshness and simplicity of Nordic style. Each of the seven options available in the range features the latest trend of keeping the basin rim slim, sleek and totally sophisticated.
