Moody Sanctuary
From the 2025 NKBA Excellence in Design Awards: a bathroom by Sarah Harding of Spaces Ink Design, Canterbury.
Moody Sanctuary uses darkness as comfort. The room is deep in tone and low in contrast, and it turns a functional space into somewhere you would linger.
Texture keeps the darkness from flattening. Surfaces have grain and variation, and the light picks across them rather than bouncing off a single plane.
Fittings are kept in the same tonal family, which stops them from cutting bright holes in the composition and holds the atmosphere together.
The plan is practical beneath the mood — clear circulation, contained wet area, and enough storage to keep the surfaces uncluttered.
