MAKING IT FEEL NATURAL

As the trials of Covid continue, our homes have become a refuge from modern day stresses and nowhere is this more important than the bathroom.

These spaces have gone from ‘rooms’ to ‘in-house resorts’ that connect us to nature by the way they make us feel via colours, materials and the experience of water.

“Bathrooms are private spaces for relaxing showers or rejuvenating baths, so it makes sense that our interior design ideas shift from décor to destination,” says Andy Grigor, head of Design and Innovation at Methven.

For homeowners with a desire to connect with nature, plants are a go-to. Plants that tolerate high humidity are best suited to bathrooms, including peace lilies and ferns for rich green foliage, or orchids that have bright vibrant flowers. “Treated timbers and tiles that have the appearance of stone, or are glazed in natural tones, will ground the space in nature,” Andy says. Introducing metallic elements through taps, shower systems, hand rails and cabinetry hardware will add to this effect, while matte blacks can further embody deep rock hues.

“Methven’s range of taps and shower systems have been designed to mimic the New Zealand landscape, drawing inspiration from the white sand beaches of Maitai Bay in the North, to the powerful Clutha River, which carves through the South Island from the Alps.”
