ALL BLACK: Kylie Jenner's bathroom exudes sophistication with all black tiles and silver finishes.
Long considered international trendsetters in all things fashion and décor, it’s no surprise that celebrity homes are often the first place people look when sourcing fresh ideas to use in their own homes.
Liza Watermeyer, visual display manager at Tile Africa talks about her favourite celeb bathrooms and why they work.
“It’s about identifying the features that contribute the most to the stylish bathrooms you see on TV and in glossy magazines, then sourcing similar items and materials in a way that’s friendly to your budget, and fit-for-purpose to your project,” Watermeyer said.

Kylie Jenner’s bathroom makes the list in glossy black which makes the most of plentiful natural lighting but is minimal and plush at the same time.
“What makes this bathroom so striking are the colours and reflective surfaces she has opted for throughout,” according to Watermeyer. “With the shiny black tiles, dramatic mirrors and reflective storage units, the effect is an exquisite hall-of-mirrors that is both dark and bright at the same time.”
Leonardo DiCaprio’s bright blue oasis bathroom is the embodiment of ‘surfer-cool’.
“Mosaics aren’t just for shower floors and decorative borders anymore. Leo has gone bold in his use of these tiny tesserae, mixing a variety of ocean-blue hues for floor-to-ceiling impact. Here’s the tricky part. Going with visually busy walls means you’ll need to pull back on clutter and accessories to keep the room from becoming overwhelming.”
Natural elements and muted colours are the theme in Patrick Dempsey’s bathroom.

“This is probably my favourite of the three. We are seeing more and more South African homes going for similar looks that combine rugged, natural elements with refined finishes and a choice selection of beautiful objects.”
Watermeyer concluded that with the right suppliers and some careful creative thinking, you could achieve the same beautiful bathroom looks for a fraction of the price.
