Bathroom inspiration: Compact chic

Bathroom inspiration: Compact chic

That’s exactly what interior designer Michelle Burton of Designing Women did, employing clean lines and white surfaces to support the eye-catching timber veneer floating vanity. Topped with a 60mm-thick Essastone benchtop in French Black, the floating vanity’s block of colour takes this bathroom to the next level and distracts attention from its diminutive size.

Bespoke built-in joinery allowed Michelle to make full use of the available space. A narrow mirror the exact width of the wall-mounted tapware below breaks up the expanse of white and mimics the size of the adjacent cabinetry. The small space is unified by similar-shaped angular fittings, from the cabinetry handles to the undercounter basin and square toilet pan. These subtle details combine to give the bathroom a cohesive finish.
