Deep Colours
& Soft Stone Curves
A Manly bathroom in honed Cosmetria marble, designed by Jayne Air.
Explore the expressive natural pattern and custom stonework that give this bathroom its character.
Deep stone colour, balanced by a lighter setting.
This Manly bathroom uses honed Cosmetria marble from Artedomus across the vanity, splashback, curved return, shelves and wall panels. Designed by Jayne Air, the room gives the stone a strong presence while keeping the surrounding finishes quiet.
Earthy brown, pink, charcoal and warm golden tones move through the marble. Pale timber cabinetry, light tiled surfaces, a white vessel basin and warm metal fittings provide contrast without competing with that natural pattern.
The honed finish adds a low-sheen surface. Together with the rounded shapes, it gives the richly patterned stone a softer expression.

A curved vanity and shaped marble splashback.
The rounded vanity benchtop continues into a curved splashback and return beside the basin. Seen together, the top and vertical faces form a custom composition rather than separate stone surfaces.
The white basin provides a simple shape against the marble. Its position, the tap reach and the splashback openings are coordinated with the surrounding stonework and supporting cabinetry.
Curved edges need careful shaping and finishing so the profile feels considered along its length. The radius and transitions between adjoining pieces are reviewed with the overall design.
Wall panels, shelves and a continuous material palette.
Continuing Cosmetria marble onto the walls lets its natural movement be seen at a larger scale. The panels frame the shower area and connect visually with the vanity splashback and smaller horizontal details.
The marble shelves and vanity ledge carry the material into useful everyday surfaces. Their horizontal lines contrast with the irregular natural pattern, while the light tiled areas provide a pause between the richer stone faces.
Panel placement, joins, shelf dimensions and wall junctions all influence the finished appearance. Those details are coordinated with cabinetry, plumbing and the surrounding wet-area construction.
The slim marble ledge above the vanity gives the splashback a defined finish. Matching corner shelves repeat the material through smaller details, providing useful surfaces while leaving the natural pattern visible.
Styling a bathroom around deep stone colours.
The wider bathroom view shows how the lighter finishes balance the expressive marble. The stone remains the focal point, while cabinetry, tiles and fittings connect with colours already present in its pattern.
Balance with lighter cabinetry. Pale timber introduces warmth and lets the deeper marble tones stand out.
Repeat the stone’s quieter colours. Cream tiles and warm metal fittings connect with the lighter fragments and golden accents within the marble.
Keep accessories considered. A few simple vessels or everyday essentials give the shelves a purpose while leaving the pattern visible.
Use gentle lighting. Soft illumination highlights the surface and curved edges without harsh reflections.
Carry the shapes through the room. Rounded mirrors, the vessel basin and curved stonework create a consistent visual rhythm.

The project videos show the bathroom from different angles, including the relationship between the vanity, curved stonework and wall panels.
A closer view of the finished stonework:
From the selected slabs to the final fitting.
A room with several connected stone elements needs a coordinated fabrication scope. We review the actual slabs, visible faces, joins, edge construction, openings and supports against the design before manufacture.
NV Stone templates onsite and manufactures and hand-finishes the stonework in Slacks Creek. Installation is coordinated with the project team, including sealing where required and care guidance for the chosen stone and finish.
For marble, discuss everyday care before selection. Use suitable stone-cleaning products and attend to spills promptly. Sealing helps manage staining but does not prevent acid etching.
