The song of the sea – bathroom design

Sounds like: RY X - Shortline

Smells like: Arriving at the coast to the first distinct salty smell of the ocean.

Feels like: Sitting inside wrapped up while a storm is howling outside.

Inspired by the comfort of escapism, our need to ‘retreat’ from our busy lives, and the necessity to cut ourselves off from the chaotic storm of everyday life.

Choosing dark tones for a relaxing space

Associations with water, cleanliness and a general aura of calm have earned blue a place in the bathroom for decades. Most choose light, breezy shades that evoke sunny skies and tropical waters.  But opting for moodier blues like those used in this bathroom bring beautiful depth and a comforting, calming and deep relaxing feeling to a space.

I love blue – it’s the colour of the ocean and the sky. It makes me feel quiet, reflective, and strong. The deep blue waters of the ocean bring a sense of calm, and a feeling of freedom like the movement of the waves.

Featuring matte blue tiles inspired by deep blue waters that meet smooth, cool marble and tarnished brass fittings.. Made up from a palette of 15 subtly different shades the tiles add depth and interest. Reflecting the different tones of the ocean – the song of the sea.
