The family in Skøyen wanted one consistent style across the hallway, the bathroom and the WC. The choice fell on large, warm-grey tiles for both floor and walls, black details to bring in contrast, while the organic warmth of the wood creates a cosy atmosphere.
Hallways, bathrooms and WCs are often small rooms that can quickly feel fragmented when each one is given its own expression. The family in Skøyen wanted the opposite: one cohesive design language that ties the rooms together and gives the apartment a mature, considered feel from the moment you step through the door.
Large tiles mean fewer grout lines, less visual noise and a calm, architectural aesthetic. The warm-grey shade sits right between the cool and the beige - a colour that stays timeless and plays beautifully against both light and dark materials.
Fixtures, mirror frames and small interior choices are done in black. The amount is carefully measured - enough to create distinct points of contrast against the warm grey, but never so much that it overwhelms the whole. It is these small choices that give the rooms their character.
Against the mineral coolness of the tiles, it is the wood that lifts the experience from refined to cosy. A cabinet front, a worktop, a strip of trim - small surfaces of warm wood make a real difference to how the rooms feel to spend time in over the years.
The result is three rooms that speak the same language. You sense the connection the moment you walk in, and you recognise it again when you open the bathroom door. A common thread - or here, a shade of grey - that binds the home together.
The whole apartment hangs together in a completely new way now. There is a real calm in seeing a design carried through.
