Beyond The Curve
DNKBA Silver Bathroom Design at the 2025 NKBA Excellence in Design Awards — bathroom by Nichole Davis of Fresh By Design Interiors, Hawke's Bay.
Beyond The Curve leans into the softness its name suggests. The room is shaped by gentle lines and a controlled palette, giving the bathroom a sense of movement without noise.
In a space where every junction is exposed, that restraint matters. The curve becomes both a visual gesture and a way of softening the daily ritual of the room.
The material palette stays warm and tactile, with texture concentrated where the hand and eye meet it — the vanity face, the wall surface, the edge of the basin.
Storage and servicing have been resolved out of sight, so the geometry stays legible and the surfaces stay clear. That is what allows the shape to be the subject.
