The foundation of this space lies in its thoughtful materiality. Tuscan Travertine tiles, used generously across the floor and halfway up the walls, create an earthy, grounding base. The honed finish and tumbled edges feel timeless — like something you’d find in a Mediterranean villa or a sun-drenched Aussie beach house. Above the travertine, the walls are clad in Off White Bella tiles, laid vertically to elongate the space and gently reflect natural light.
This bathroom leans confidently into the brushed nickel trend — a finish that feels right at home in coastal settings. Cooler than brass but warmer than chrome, brushed nickel brings a quiet sophistication to the space. The Caroma Urbane II collection is used throughout and includes the Overhead Shower, Mixer, Shower Mixer, and accessories like the Towel Rail, Toilet Roll Holder, and Robe Hook. The finish complements the travertine and timber beautifully, acting as a neutral highlight rather than a showy statement.
The Caroma Invisi Series II Dual Flush Plate & Buttons in matching brushed nickel further reinforce the design consistency, delivering discreet functionality with a designer’s eye for detail.
A standout moment in this bathroom is the Caroma Urbane II Back to Wall Freestanding Bath. Unlike traditional freestanding tubs that often feel isolated, this design sits snugly against the wall, allowing for a more streamlined layout while maintaining that luxurious, spa-like feel. Paired with a minimalist brushed nickel wall-mounted mixer, the setup is as functional as it is beautiful — perfect for daily indulgence.
The ledge behind the bath not only conceals plumbing but also provides a practical surface for styling, books, or bath products — a thoughtful detail that enhances everyday usability.
The vanity zone is where the coastal charm truly comes to life. The Ingrain Curved Wall Hung Vanity brings softness and a natural, tactile finish through its fluted timber design. Floating above the travertine ledge, it adds visual lightness while providing plenty of storage — form and function working hand-in-hand.
Above it sits the Ingrain Ash Pill Shaving Cabinet, with its organic oval shape and matching timber frame, echoing the curves of the basin below. Speaking of which, the Caroma Liano II Round Basin is the perfect sculptural counterpart — a crisp white vessel that adds height, clarity, and contrast to the warmer tones.
Flanking the mirror, Silo Wall Lights by Fluxwood cast a soft, ambient glow that’s perfect for morning routines or winding down in the evening. Their round shape ties seamlessly into the language of the space, reinforcing that commitment to curves and continuity.
Even the more utilitarian zone of the bathroom — the shower and toilet — has been beautifully resolved. The Caroma Urbane II Cleanflush Wall Faced Invisi Series II Toilet Suite is neatly integrated beside the built-in travertine bench, enhancing both comfort and visual flow. The walk-in shower features a sleek frameless screen, maintaining openness and allowing the brushed nickel Overhead Shower to take centre stage.
This bathroom isn’t just “coastal” — it’s a masterclass in what contemporary coastal can be. It’s grounded in nature, refined in execution, and elevated through detail. From the luxurious textures of travertine and timber to the subtle shimmer of brushed nickel tapware, every element has been chosen to enhance the mood and movement of the space.
It’s a sanctuary, yes — but one that’s deeply connected to its environment. A space that doesn’t just reflect coastal living — it lives it.
