Trend: Copper highlights

 
Copper is a trend that has been creeping up on the bathroom scene for a little while now.
 
This exciting finish can look amazing in the right space and although fantastic in large quantities, just a touch of copper with some polished concrete and/or light oak can look fresh and ever so chic.
 
Try this look at home with the following Candana pieces.

Surprise Inspiration... NYFW 2014

Normally when we post our fashion surprise inspiration posts we feature the runway trends, this time we've been inspired by the street fashion in NY during fashion week 2014.

  Each fashion week brings out the best in street fashion, so its only normal that these trend-setters inspire our interiors also (including bathrooms!).

Here are some of our favourite street looks paired with some bathroom design ideas.

5 mins with... David Moses of Horizon Habitats



For this edition of '5 mins with...' we've interviewed well-known Sydney builder David Moses of Horizon HabitatsHorizon Habitats have been building and maintaining homes across Sydney’s Eastern suburbs and North Shore for the last 25 years.

They've built some of the most luxurious homes in Sydney (if not, Australia) and we've been lucky enough to supply the bathroom products for most of these homes. 
Their work is impeccable and the highly professional staff are always a pleasure to deal with.




Describe your building work in 5 words…

Professional. High Quality. Service. Trust.

Which bathroom brand are you most likely to recommend to your clients?

Whatever they choose is PERFECT!!! My wife loves her Boyd Alternatives bath

Who are some local or international designers/architects/builders that you admire?

We work with a multitude of talented designers and architects in Sydney!!! SAOTA in South Africa are doing some great work over there.

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

The original Moses! We’d need drains on both sides of the bathroom as he parted the waters!!!

What’s the most important thing you’ve learnt about building bathrooms?

-Locate the taps outside the shower, so you can turn the water on and get it nice and warm before you get wet!
-Have a small step down in to the shower to stop the water splash out
-A niche is always a good idea to put some shelves for shampoo and soap
-Another niche for washing feet/shaving legs is also useful

What is your favourite Candana bathroom product and why?

The “Urban Rain” – designed by Candana, of course!!!






We would like to thank David Moses and the HH team for their continued support and for sharing a small insight into their building.
Check out their website and blog for more info.

Drift San Jose

Mexican hotel Drift is located in San Jose Del Cabo's historic art district and is the first of a series of hotels that will fill a niche between boutique and youth hostel. 

Drift is designed to promote social interaction with a pared down, do-it-yourself atmosphere. 
The rooms are basic and open concept, influenced by industrial urban lofts and Baja ranch architecture. 

The use of concrete, steel and wood in the bathrooms accentuate this perfectly and make them some of the best bathrooms we've seen in hotels.

Inspiration: Design through time... Part 2

This week we are focusing on the wonderfully kitsch 1950's.
Although there were some great and timeless design trends to come out of the 50's (Arne Jacobsen, Eames etc) we can't help but think that bathrooms were not the most appealing at this time.
Think apricot toilet suites, matching baths and pedestal basins and a whole lot of Formica.

For our interpretation of the 1950's bathroom, we've taken the pastel hues from the era and updated them with glass mosaics and claw-foot baths.
The basin is reminiscent of mid-century design and perfectly reflects the blending of old and new to create a modern space with 50's influence.
