Green glamour: An avocado bathroom in Notting Hill

May 11, 2018 1 Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

I bet you never thought youโ€™d see the words glamour and avocado in the same sentence but the bathroom weโ€™re bringing you today marries the two with aplomb. Inspired by the green bathrooms of the 1970โ€™s, this contemporary take is an entirely more stylish beast that manages to look rather timeless too which is no mean feat.

Avocado bathroom

โ€œWe wanted to create a sense of glamour and so often designers think glamour and end up with a deco inspired look. We wanted a fresher take on a classic design and looked instead to the glamour of Pan AM, Farrah Fawcett and the 70โ€™s, which led us to the avocado palette!” says Graeme Martinow, the co-director of Londonโ€™s Boundary Space who created the bathroom for a client that works in the film industry and lives in Notting Hill.

Combining marble with a bespoke green bath, a green chevron patterned tiled floor and green subway tiles on the wall, itโ€™s the brass accents that really make the space sing. โ€œThe palette is modernised with bespoke lighting, chunky brushed brass taps and ironmongery and cool grey Carrara marble. The use of greys continues into the joinery and furniture.ย Allowing the avocado to be the focus, the palette is kept quite clipped to create a sense of calm with photography chosen to complement and add splashes of colour,โ€ says Graeme.

Avocado bathroom windows

โ€œThe client wanted a sense of luxury, without being stuffy and classical. Space is always luxurious and the bath next to a fireplace adds an element of decadence, turning the room into a destination,โ€ says Graeme who also filled the space with clever storage solutions (such as shallow vanity units concealed behind bespoke mirrors) that allow the space to feel uncluttered.

Avocado bathroom vanities

The Kohler โ€˜Kathrynโ€™ pedestal sink was refinished to achieve that gorgeous green hue, as was the bath. โ€œKohler are known for their colours and we are discussing with them how we can revive the image of avocado. Similarly, the bath is a โ€˜Sohoโ€™ from JEE-O which was custom sprayed, but we would like to work with more suppliers to get colour back into their ranges. Hopefully soon all this expensive refinishing will not be needed, and bathrooms can break out of the white and embrace some colour!โ€

What do you think? Are you team green?

Eco friendly toilet paper -- but make it cute! I Eco friendly toilet paper -- but make it cute!

I tried @whogivesacraptp and I'm sharing my thoughts over on the blog (via link in bio) plus a $10 discount. 

Matching your toilet paper to your decor: a step too far?! I think not ๐Ÿคฃ

Check out these fab bathroom products from Tesa, available at Bunnings. They attach with a special strong adhesive system rather than those dodgy suction cups, look just like they've been drilled in when they haven't, and can be removed without a trace later (perfect for renters). 

They also have toilet roll holders, towel rails, robe hooks and much more.

For your chance to win $300 of Tesa products, tag a friend in the comments and be following @tesa_au  by midnight next Wednesday 24 August 2022.

Just a little sneak peek of an amazing house makeo Just a little sneak peek of an amazing house makeover! A 60s house, the first ever display home in Baulkham Hills, transformed into a Cape Cod inspired, resort style residence! 

โ€œIt was in original condition and felt like a time warp. The kitchen could have been from The Brady Bunch and there was lots of shaggy carpet and yellow and green wallpaper,โ€ says renovator Sabina Contreras.

Wait until you see the rest (via link in bio). It goes under the hammer this Saturday!

How good is that wee window seat?!
