What is your chosen product?
The 'Hendrix' Vanity from ADP Australia

Can you tell us a bit about it?
It has a cute diamond geometric pattern which I feel fits in with art deco style at the moment.  It comes in standard colours of matte white, grey and black.  However, you can actually choose any Dulux paint colour at an additional cost.  So many colour variations to choose from, which makes it fun and versatile.

The handles have colour choices too, I'm loving the gold as it creates a nice pop of colour.

It is wall hung and comes in all the sizes from 600 to 1800 and available in a double bowl version.

The Hendrix Vanity is an all draw unit that has usb ports so you can charge your phone, and a powerpoint - how good is that!

Would you put this product in your own home? Why?
Yesssssss! I love art deco and already have a emerald green Gatspy style couch in our lounge room.

This vanity is pretty and quirky and has many choices to customise - from cherry pie tops to caesarstone.

Is this product popular on the market right now? Why?
It's fairly new and I have no doubt will become very popular - especially with the likes of House Rules and other similar renovation type programs on our TV screens.  These types of shows embrace a lot more thinking outside of the square when it comes to design.

ADP Australia is a quality brand, you can see and feel it in the draws.  They go above and beyond for that luxe experience.

Is there a particular style that this product would be most compatible with?
Art deco.

What other products can you suggest that would help complete the above look?
Greens “Textura” tapware and accessories range in brushed brass (examples shown below).

The ADP Ozera semi inset round and dainty basin, or the more stand out Margot above counter basin  (shown below) would also well in the mix. Match it up with the Eclipse round mirror with backlight.

Mid to luxe

Don’t Forget The Mirror- Why This Often Forgotten Feature Can Be The Icing On The Cake For Your Bathroom Space 

Mirrors are a necessity.

Ever been camping  and forgotten a little compact? It’s not great right?! Let’s face it, mirrors are an essential part of our modern day lives. Applying makeup and checking our presentation is part of everyone’s routine (although perhaps not so much when house bound during these Covid times!).

Mirrors aren’t just for sussing out our reflections though. They can be used as design elements and actually contribute significantly to your overall bathroom design.  There are currently a plethora of different options on the market to suit almost any style.

Mirror Mirror On The Wall, How Can I Stop My Bathroom From Looking So Small….

Mirrors create space!

Yes, that’s right. Whilst you’re out hunting for minimalist bathroom fittings and compact toilet suites to enhance your bathroom, don’t forget that mirrored surfaces reflect light.

Not everyone can enjoy the luxury of a large home, but you can create the illusion of more space by strategically using mirrors in specific ways.

For example, full-length mirrors create depth in a room, whilst mirrors placed adjacent from natural light sources can trick the eye into seeing more windows. Remember though, it is important to ensure the scale and proportion are harmonious with the setting.

Seeing Double

Have a great feature you want to highlight? Maybe it’s that gorgeous work of art you paid too much for, or an exquisite tile feature that you wish could go on and on.

When placing mirrors strategically in your bathroom, you can emphasis the best parts (and take the emphasis off of others).

Round and Oval shaped mirrors in particular are great for creating focal points (as well as being a red-hot interior trend right now).

Mirrors Are Now More Than Just Mirrors

Mirrors have come a long way since our love affair began with them nearly 200 years ago.

Today’s range of bathroom mirrors boast innovative features like LED lighting, demister functions, and, believe it or not, even Bluetooth compatibility (so you can watch yourself sing to that new Justin Bieber hit we all secretly love).

Some mirrors are even designed specifically with the ladies in mind, and have separate magnification panes, and “natural” LED toned light - to help you get your Insta look just right!
