05 — Botanical Sanctuary

Let the outside find its way in.

Warm bathroom with botanical monstera tile wall, round backlit mirror and fluted beige vanity

Chapter 01

Nature Finds a Way

Let the wall grow.

A gentle reconnection with nature, where organic patterns, lush greens, and earthy textures bring the serenity of the outdoors into everyday spaces.

Chapter 02

A Living Canvas

In the bath, beside the vanity or behind a dining banquette, the leaves run across the joints, so the wall reads as one continuous canopy.

Chapter 03

Where Spaces Breathe

At 1200 × 600 mm, each tile holds whole leaves rather than fragments, and the pattern opens up as the wall gets larger.

Chapter 04

Bringing the Outside In

Jungle green and soft sage come from the leaves. White marble, sand and fluted oak ground them, and brushed brass adds the warmth of sunlight.

  1. 1Hero application — Establishes the emotion: how the material feels in a lived-in room.
  2. 2Tile sample — Establishes material identity: colour, pattern, scale and finish.
  3. 3Supporting scenarios — Establish versatility across rooms and uses.
  4. 4Detail imagery — Communicates texture, edge profile and joint.
  5. 5Colour strip — Enables quick collection recognition, even from across a showroom.
