20 August 2025
AI summary
The Trends International Design Awards (TIDA) showcase winning Kiwi bathrooms that strongly connect with nature. Key trends include creating spa-like retreats and invigorating spaces using bold colours and biophilic murals.
Award winners offer fantastic inspiration:
- Kate Gardham (Suede and Stone): A glass-walled bathroom with lush landscape views.
- Natalie Du Bois: A master suite with immersive forest-like mural tiles.
- Maddren Homes: A moody ensuite featuring soft curves and custom mirrors.
These designs provide excellent ideas for your own renovation project.
The cantilevered vanity has its own “space” within the suite.
Walnut timber for the vanity and reeded wall panelling establishes a connection to the surrounding landscape and adds richness in colour to the interior spaces.
Designer Natalie Du Bois designed this bathroom suite renovation for a couple who requested a “vibrant, imaginative suite”.
The Iconic Patricia Urquiola-designed tin bath features an Iroko timber backrest and shelf, complemented by brushed bronze tapware to enhance the natural, raw aesthetic.
Natural stone with strong veining creates an artwork backdrop for the shower.
Group Builder Homes
The TIDA judges were impressed with the way the Maddren Homes bathroom design is flexible to allow privacy - there is a cavity slider that slides across into the slot within the vanity to close off the space.
This is the ensuite within the winning suite designed by Landmark Homes North Shore Rodney & Shannon Pepper Design.
Best powder room
A beautiful sculptural basin is the centrepiece in the winning powder room designed by Priyanka Sareen of Home Factor in Wānaka.
