Colour of the year 2024

Generally by springtime, paint manufacturers forecast the next year’s colour trends. For many of them, the colour of the year 2024 will be blue (Sherwin-Williams, Dunn-Edwards, Valspar, Minwax, etc). However, from all the hues of blue presented, Blue Nova was our preferred one. This is a beautiful blue-violet from Benjamin Moore, which illustrates today’s mood board.

This intense colour reminds me of the beautiful tones of blue from Azul Bahia, a rare granite from my homeland, Brazil. When using this beautiful stone on the floor or the benchtop, you may want to go with Kit Kat tiles in bluish-grey for the walls. Or, alternatively, a satin white tile instead, which goes well with blues.

For the basin and the freestanding bathtub, we suggest gloss-white pieces with a tapered shape. The vanity may be a wall-hung unity with drawers. The handles are in brushed nickel, the same colour chosen for the tapware and accessories. To complement the look, a pill-shaped mirror with a satin finish frame.

Hand-crafted wooden bathtub

How nice is this hand-crafted wooden bathtub! Having a unique design, this bath perfectly matches the vanity in real timber, creating a natural atmosphere for your bathroom. Besides the cabinetry itself, this vanity has also a countertop in timber, which adds to its charm.

Regarding the exposure to water, this wooden bathtub is hand-crafted with the same techniques used by boat builders. A similar approach applies to the vanity, which has a few coats of polyurethane in order to protect the timber from water spills.

Other decorative elements in timber help to set the mood, such as the asymmetric mirror and the wall light. Hooks, stools, and cachepots in timber are also good options to create a woody bathroom. For the tapware, we suggest a bronze living finish, which will get tannish over the years. The cross-shape handles help create a rustic look. As a background, cement-look tiles on the floor and penny-round tiles on the walls, both in a light grey tone.
