Earth and Stone

Earth and Stone feels less like a bathroom renovation and more like a private room with water in it. There is a depth to the palette that makes the space feel settled from the first glance: timber, stone, grey-green tile, polished steel and a bath that sits with the confidence of an object chosen for pleasure, not just purpose.

Designed by Natalie Du Bois of Du Bois Design, the Parnell bathroom has a quietly masculine weight, softened by the craft in its details. Chocolate-stained ash gives the vanity and mirror their warmth, while New Zealand Panels cabinetry components support the structure behind the finish. The benchtop is Cosentino Dekton in Marmorio, matte and restrained, holding the room’s tonal balance without trying to dominate it.
