Luxurious Ensuite Retreat banner

Our brief with this ensuite was to create a luxurious and light ensuite bathroom.  Marble look porcelain tiles combined with carrara marble mosaic tiles add pattern and texture and provide a subtle platform for the gold and chrome tapware and lighting to shine from.

The walk in shower has a tile insert channel drain, LED lit rainshower head installed flush in the ceiling, along with a powerful slide shower.  A wide tiled niche provides storage for shower essentials.

The double custom made vanity has textured Villeroy and Boch vessel basins with mirror cabinets above.  The internal aspects of this wall (bracing and plumbing) prevented the mirror cabinets from being recessed into the wall, but they provide a strong aesthetic feature as well as practical storage.  The LED light strip encircles the oval doors and mirrored buttons allow you to change the light from warm to cool white light and to turn the demister on.  Little details transform the functionality of this bathroom.

About the
Professional

Nicola Manning Design is an experienced award winning interior design practice offering all a full range of interior design services, from new builds, renovations, apartments, small commercial projects and sourcing beautiful interior products.

We take a "no surprises" approach to our project partnership, with clear communication and a proven design process, focusing on three foundation pillars; the design, the budget and the timeline. We feel so grateful to work with a range of wonderful clients on their homes, apartments, beach houses and commercial properties. 

After nearly twenty years in the interior design business, we know great design can not only lift the value of your home, but also enhance the quality and enjoyment of your life. Many people find it difficult to verbalise or explain exactly what they are visualising. Our clients really appreciate that we can take their ideas and help them bring them to fruition.

“I believe your home is not just a financial asset, it should also be your haven. Whether you're building, renovating, downsizing or moving into a different size or style of property, we will help you create beautiful and functional spaces that feel like home”.

We Will:

  • Listen to you and understand what you are wanting to achieve and helping you make it a reality.
  • Present you with a couple of options for you to choose from, rather than having to face the overwhelm of all the choices available on the market.
  • Source products for you that you may not have even realised was available or would be suitable.
  • Be available to answer questions that you or your builder or other tradespeople will have, in a very timely way.
  • Be fully committed to your project and to delivering you the best interior design solutions.
