Colour trend... Metal finishes

Over the past couple of years we have been experiencing a resurgence of opulent metal finishes such as copper, brass and bronze.

Candana have always prided ourselves in offering our clients infinite options on finishes other than chrome.  These luxe finishes are a reflection that bathrooms are becoming more individual and bespoke. 

Visit our Woollahra showroom for examples of these stunning and on-trend finishes in basins, tapware and accessories.

Inspirational design: Coloured subway tiles

Subway tiles are so hot right now, so why not have a little fun with colour and select a bright subway tile?

With a feature tile like this, adding simple yet interesting sanitary ware and tap ware will enhance the tiling and not detract from your wall. 

Style with a fabulous pendant light and some succulents and voilà, a bright and swoon-worthy bathroom!

5 mins with... Hare & Klein

Sydney home

Hare & Klein Pty Ltd formed in 1988, is an experienced and respected team of interior designers committed to creating original and individual interiors of quality that stand the test of time.

Hare & Klein have been a valuable client of Candana’s for almost two decades and continue to design and specify some of the most beautiful bathrooms we have had the pleasure of working on.

Meryl Hare and the team at Hare & Klein took some time out to answer our little questionnaire and came up with some fantastic answers...

 

Describe your design aesthetic in 5 words…

Timeless, individual, practical, elegant and textural.

Sydney home

 

Which bathroom brand are you most likely to specify for your clients?

It is project dependent, but Boyd Alternatives and Gessi are favourites.

Bellevue Hill residence

 

Double Bay residence

 

What inspires you to create beautiful spaces?

Every bathroom is a blank canvas and challenge to create something beautiful and special within the design language of the overall project. The daily rituals of bathing have the potential to become an enriching experience in a well designed space.

Beach house

Who are some international designers/architects that you admire?

Christian Liagre, Piet Boon, Andree Putman.

North Coast beach house

If you could design anyone’s bathroom (past or present), whose would it be? And what would you do with it?

Cleopatra! A bathroom open to the sky, with a generous round bath on a high pedestal in the centre, carved out of limestone, filled with milk and attended by a team of eunuchs! (lucky Cleopatra, she seems to be a popular choice for our designers! -Candana)

Vaucluse residence

What is your favourite bathroom product? Why?

Our team of designers loves the Gessi Goccia silver or black finished basin. It’s contemporary but voluptuous.

Do the white thing

As you most probably know by now, Candana love colour! But we all know that there is nothing more classic and stylish than a minimal white bathroom. Gone are the days of matching peach, turquoise and baby blue sanitary ware. We are all about embracing a clean, sleek bathroom design filled with beautiful shapes and texture. Sanitaryware should act as your blank canvas and provide a beautiful base for feature products such as coloured towels and accessories. So here are some images of fabulous bathrooms to give you some white-spiration!
