Black is Back with Timber!


Black is most certainly back with timber: somehow, it’s just one of those shades that never quite goes out of style. A little bit of tasteful black here and it can work wonders for your bathroom. Here at LJT Bathrooms in Sydney, we’ve come up with some fantastic style tips for you to put to good use the next time you decide to renovate. If you’re looking for award-winning bathrooms created by some of the most talented designers and renovators Sydney’s Inner West and North Shore has to offer, look no further. Your friends and family will turn green with envy once they walk into your newly-designed bathroom: take a look at what the contrasting dynamic of dark and light timber with bold and fresh whites can do for your bathroom.The crisp whites of the sink tiles against the black timber of the vanity drawer create a dramatic effect. The contrast between light and dark is stunning: simply adding bold and dark timber can effectively revitalise your bathroom when working with plain white porcelain. You can also maximise this particular aesthetic effect by employing lighter-shaded timbers to serve as a rustic backdrop to the darker timber. This adds a much-needed sense of warmth to your bathroom – especially when dealing with stark contrasts such as black and white. Dark toned timber is bold and visually distinct, so be sure to complement its masculine look with dark bathroom features. Taps, mirrors, towels, and accessories should match – rather than compete – with the darker timber.

Feature Walls – Adding a Touch of Class to Bathroom Design


When it comes to domestic interior design, bathrooms are no longer a mere afterthought: they serve as one of the most important rooms of the house. A home’s bathroom is the central location for day-to-day cleansing, as well as an understated source of comfort and relaxation. As such, the décor, style and layout of a bathroom can transform your home.If you’re looking for something truly unique to set your bathroom apart, the addition of a tasteful feature wall can work wonders. Feature walls are a fantastic way of bringing your bathroom to life and giving it some much-needed character without aesthetically overpowering the space itself. The effects of a highly decorative surface such as expensive stone are often lost once it is tiled across all of your bathroom’s walls. A solitary and inexpensive feature wall, however, is easy on the eyes and even easier on your wallet.

With its rustic style, the feature wall pictured behind the bath greatly enhances the clean and modern look of this particular bathroom by contrasting it with hints of the traditional. Low maintenance, textured porcelain tiles cleverly fashioned to look like stone lend the room a touch of sophistication, effectively transforming what could have been a standard look bathroom into a glamorous yet functional space of relaxation.

The room is kept simple with a vanity and mirror combination while the interplay between the white, contrasting tiles and the matching, vertically-textured matching feature tiles in the shower creates a gorgeous, eye-catching effect. With similar tones to the textured feature wall, the soft floor blends beautifully, tying the room together. The elegance of the shower glass and the room’s white walls are highlighted by the clean use of space, in addition to the unobtrusive shower soap dish and classy corner glass shelf.
