This beautifully balanced bathroom design is a great example of how bold patterns and calm, neutral surfaces can work together to create a space that feels both striking and serene. Designed by Tabo and brought to life using premium porcelain tiles from ABK, the finished room offers a modern retreat with a subtle connection to nature.
Bringing the Outdoors In
At the heart of the design is the statement decorative tile: ABK Wide & Style Mini Foliage. Used across the shower walls and window surround, the soft leafy pattern introduces movement and depth without being overpowering. Tonal greys and muted greens create a natural, organic feel, adding warmth and character while remaining firmly contemporary.
The foliage tiles are cleverly framed within the shower enclosure, allowing the pattern to take centre stage. This creates a strong focal point, transforming the shower area into a feature rather than simply a functional zone.
Calm, Contemporary Surfaces
To balance the decorative elements, ABK Ghost tiles have been used on both the walls and floor throughout the rest of the bathroom. Their subtle concrete-effect finish brings a clean, architectural quality to the space, grounding the design and allowing the patterned tiles to shine.
Used in a consistent tone across surfaces, the Ghost tiles help create a seamless look, enhancing the sense of space and flow. The large-format design also minimises grout lines, contributing to the sleek, uncluttered feel of the room.
Thoughtful Design Details
This bathroom is a great example of how thoughtful design choices come together. A generous walk-in shower with clear glass keeps sightlines open, while the twin vanity unit adds both practicality and symmetry. Crisp white sanitaryware contrasts beautifully with the darker tiles, creating a clean, balanced finish.
Even the window area has been carefully considered, with the Mini Foliage tiles wrapping the sill to maintain continuity and visual interest. Clean lines and subtle finishing touches complete the look, ensuring the room feels polished and purposeful.
A Bathroom Designed to Last
By combining expressive decorative tiles with timeless neutral finishes, this Tabo-designed bathroom strikes a perfect balance between personality and longevity. It’s a space that feels luxurious yet liveable – proof that contemporary design doesn’t have to feel cold or minimal to make an impact.
If you’re looking to create a bathroom that feels calm, characterful and carefully considered, this project offers plenty of inspiration.
