6 Beautiful Bathrooms

1 Monochrome with a twist

Henau Marais and Sharon O’Callaghan Marais had planned a minimalist black-and-white en suite for the main bedroom in their Riebeek-Kasteel home. “Because it’s small, I wanted only crisp clean lines and the stark contrast of black and white to open up space,” says Sharon, an interior designer.

“But then I saw this wallpaper!” she says of the Arthouse Banana Palm Coffee wallpaper from Hertex. “I fell in love and just had to have it. This bathroom was the last space in our home that still needed a makeover, so it was the only place I could use it – and, thank goodness, it worked!”

2 All the drama

Avid renovators Erika and Dewald van Zyl were tasked with revamping the family bathroom in Annelie Carstens’ Durbanville home, as seen on the TV show 1,2,3 Fix It! on lifestyle channel VIA (147 on DStv). They used Annelie’s detailed mood board (turn to page 72 to see more on mood boards) to transform what was an uninspiring space into the chic, dramatic bathroom she desired.

Charcoal paint on the walls and elements of wood and galvanized steel brought Annelie’s vision to life. Light grey-and-blue patterned tiles replaced the old beige ones and create a strong focal point in contrast to the muted tones in the rest of the space.
