One Room Two Looks : Paint It Black
PRODUCTION Liezel Norval-Kruger PHOTOS Micky Hoyle TEXT Ilze Hugo
Starring hues from the Plascon 2015 Colour Forecast, here are two more bold bathrooms that will make cleaning up your act a pleasure.
THE REAL TEAL
Undeniably eye-catching, this fashionable blue-green shade takes centre stage in a bathroom that invites a sudsy soak.
GET THIS LOOK
- Paint the walls with Plascon Cashmere Caribbean Current (G6-C1-1).
- To contrast, create layers using natural, organic elements such as a wooden table, driftwood towel rack, handmade grass pendant lights and sea sponges.
- The antique chest from India adds texture and warmth.
- The air plants offset the teal paint colour and complement its strong grey undertones.
- Wooden candleholders can be used ornamentally without candles. Add candles as and when you need them.
PAINT IT BLACK
Boasting a distinctly masculine feel, this urban bathroom achieves clean lines and a high-design look without breaking the bank.
GET THIS LOOK
- Being bold and choosing one strong colour instead of a palette of colours is right on trend. Here the walls were painted with Plascon Cashmere Tribecca Corner (EC 48).
- Layering the same colour – for example black on black – creates a strong, pared-down, high-design feel.
- To achieve the look, it’s important to keep the space uncluttered and to carefully choose accessories as focal points.
- Don’t spend money on tiles. Rather paint your floors to look like cement. This floor was painted by paint effect experts Paintiques (paintiques.co.za).
