In many properties, the bathroom is considered one of the key areas – a sanctuary from the outside world, where one can spend time alone to reflect and relax. The image of a bath overflowing with bubbles, while the occupier sips an ice cold cocktail, bathed in moody lighting, is the epitome of pure indulgence and decadence.
Whether you have a small space or a large suite to consider, there are hundreds of schemes from which to choose. And when it comes to how you want to use the space, from a contemporary wet room, or glamorous freestanding bath, designs by René Dekker all have one thing in common – the unmistakable scent of luxury.
Two of René Dekker's signature features when it comes to creating a high end interior finish for his luxury design schemes, are polished plaster and bas reliefs. These inspired techniques create a stunning finish as well as a beautiful and unique focal point.
The former, polished plaster, is usually used on walls and ceilings because it gives a finish similar to that of travertine, polished marble or even limestone. Its main ingredients are marble dust, slaked lime, and marble chips. When applied in multiple thin layers and polished, these combined components give the surface a distinctive subtle and glamorous sheen that boasts an almost three-dimensional quality.
