The living bathroom sourcebook
Walking into Amber’s showrooms is like walking into a reality-sourcebook of ever-changing ideas for bathroom renovations, and these can now be viewed at any of the 34 Amber showrooms located throughout NSW, ACT and Queensland.
Step into one of the recently renovated, spacious, open plan Amber showrooms and be informed, enlightened and engaged by the vast array of newly sourced tiles from Italy, Spain, Brazil and China.
Instead of imagining what a particular piece would look and feel like, an Amber showroom will enable you to see, feel and experience many new looks in bathroom finishes – from the new trend in 600 x 400 mm wall tiles to the tiniest, most precious glass mosaics.
All tiles are displayed in banks of colour and texture to facilitate the less design-savvy of us to coordinate two or three designs for use in the same area.
Large work tables, skilled staff and plentiful samples enable consumers to ‘play’ and ‘work’ with tiles until they achieve the look they want.
A brand new bathroom range from Amber is the ceramic collection called Effetto. It is the fail safe answer to mixing colour, size and texture in the bathroom and always coming up with a winning combination.
The range comprises three basic colours – Giorno (white), Cielo (inky blue) and Notte (charcoal).
Floor tiles are in a 333 x 333 square while wall tiles are in the super chic size of 250 x 460mm – both are available in all three colours.
And you can introduce colour, texture and difference by using borders, with either the Cielo or Notte background, in 25x250mm or 25x460mm sizes.
For more subtle texture, try using the range’s white 250 x 460 mm wall tile – Binomio – in strategic areas such as the shower recess or along one feature wall. It is scored half way down the tile to create subtle but beautiful texture.
Prices for Effetto start at $49.95 a square metre for the floor and wall tiles and $11 a piece for the 25x250mm borders and $17 a piece for the 25x460mm version.
