How the smallest room in the house can make the biggest impact

You'd be forgiven for thinking one of the smaller rooms in the house doesn't need as much planning or attention as your larger living spaces.

But gone are the days when bathrooms, powder rooms and ensuites were fitted out with cookie-cutter toilets, showers and vanities. Enter stage right the rise of the bathroom as an opportunity for designers and in-the- know DIYers to infuse a sense of luxury and personality into an otherwise functional space.

The right tapware can transform a bathroom from a practical, step-in step-out space into a modern, designer escape. The Sol range of tapware by New Zealand brand Adesso is sleek and contemporary with a functional edge.

Available at PlaceMakers, the Sol Basin Mixer fits seamlessly into any modern bathroom, while the Sol Swivel Basin Mixer adds the convenience of a swivelling spout to maximise the use of space around any basin and vanity.

There's nothing quite like a relaxing Sunday evening bath ahead of a busy week. For a splash of class, the Form freestanding bath by Adesso infuses resort-worthy relaxation into the at-home bathroom. Couple the Form bath with the Sol Swivel Bath Spout which features a 180-degree swivel function, making bath time practical for the whole family.

For the most important seat in the house, don't go past Adesso's range of Urban Rimless toilets. The smart rimless design makes cleaning effortless, while the sleek lines and timeless design make this toilet an ideal option for any bathroom looking to stand the test of time.
