Dreamy Kiwi bathrooms win Trends International Design Awards.
20 August 2025
AI summary
The latest Trends International Design Awards (TIDA) showcase Kiwi bathrooms with a strong connection to nature, creating luxurious retreats. Designers achieved this through two key styles: a calming, spa-like ambience or invigorating spaces using bold colours and biophilic murals.
Award-winning designs include:
- A glass-walled bathroom by Kate Gardham with views of a lush landscape.
- An immersive, forest-like suite by Natalie Du Bois using large-format porcelain murals.
- A powder room by Priyanka Sareen featuring a lotus-shaped basin.
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.
