Stumbles: Simplification represents sophistication

For a conventional and contemporary bathroom, the lesser detail, the trimmer it becomes. However, some are different. For instance, designer Jen Stumbles beach-housed bathroom has the simplest design yet still intrigues a sense of minimalist and luxurious feeling to the touch.

"The wash room-style aesthetic is achieved partly by a broad, but not uniform, use of limestone tile on the floor and walls. On the walls small-format tiles bring out the richness in this material," Stumbles depicted her design, as quoted by successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials.

"A large oval stone tub takes center stage in the space. This is carved from a solid slab of stone, reinforcing the simplicity and honesty appropriate to a utility wash room."

She added: "A mirrored wall doubles the size of the space and reflects natural light, and again the irregular limestone tile work provides contrast and texture."
