Three Ways to Bring Colour into Your Bathroom with Nood Co.

A Little Colour Can Make a Big Difference

Who says bathroom basins have to be white?

From soft pastels to bolder statement shades, colour is becoming a beautiful way to bring personality into modern bathrooms. And while tiles, cabinetry and tapware often take centre stage during the selection process, sometimes it's the smaller details that make the biggest impression.

At AUSMAR's Lume Display Home in Aura, we've explored three different approaches to bathroom colour through a collection of concrete basins from Australian brand Nood Co.

Featured across two bathrooms and a powder room, these distinctive basins introduce colour, texture and individuality to each space.

If you're looking for bathroom design ideas for your new home, here's how three carefully considered basin selections can create three completely different looks.

1. Add Softness with Blush Pink

Colour doesn't always have to be bold to make an impact.

The Nood Co. Surface Mounted Box Basin in Blush Pink introduces a soft, warm tone that brings a subtle sense of personality to the bathroom.

Its clean rectangular shape provides a contemporary contrast to the gentle pink finish, making it an appealing choice for homeowners who want to experiment with colour while maintaining a timeless aesthetic.

Blush pink works particularly well alongside warm neutrals, natural textures and understated finishes. Rather than dominating the space, it can complement the surrounding selections and create a cohesive, inviting atmosphere.

Our design tip: If you're drawn to coloured bathroom fixtures but prefer a more neutral overall palette, consider using a pastel basin as your feature. It's a simple way to introduce warmth and personality without committing to colour across every surface.

2. Make a Statement with Copan Blue

For those who love a little more colour, the Nood Co. Millie Basin in Copan Blue offers a striking alternative to traditional bathroom finishes.

With its rich blue-green tone and distinctive rounded form, this concrete basin brings a playful yet contemporary element to the space.

Unlike softer pastel selections, a deeper colour can become a natural focal point, drawing attention to the vanity and adding another layer of interest to the overall bathroom design.

Blue and green tones pair beautifully with a variety of finishes, from warm timber-look cabinetry and neutral tiles to contrasting tapware and textured surfaces.

It's a great example of how one statement piece can influence the personality of an entire room.

Our design tip: When choosing a bold basin colour, consider repeating subtle elements of the shade elsewhere in your bathroom or pairing it with complementary materials. This helps create a considered look rather than making the basin feel disconnected from the rest of the space.

3. Keep It Fresh with Mint

Powder rooms are the perfect opportunity to have a little fun with your selections.

As a smaller space, a powder room offers the chance to experiment with colours and finishes you might not otherwise choose for a larger bathroom.

At our Lume Display Home, the Nood Co. Surface Mounted Box Basin in Mint brings a fresh, unexpected colour into the space.

The soft green finish offers a playful alternative to traditional white basins, while its clean lines keep the overall look contemporary.

Mint can work beautifully alongside crisp neutrals, warmer tones and natural textures, creating a space that feels fresh without becoming overwhelming.

Our design tip: Don't overlook the powder room when planning your new home. A statement basin can create a memorable feature in a compact space, particularly when paired with a complementary mirror, vanity and tapware.

Why Coloured Concrete Basins Work in Modern Bathroom Design

Beyond colour, the material and shape of a basin can influence how a bathroom looks and feels.

Concrete basins introduce a different finish from traditional ceramic options, with a subtle material texture that can complement a wide range of interior styles.

Nood Co.'s collection offers a variety of colours and forms, allowing homeowners to explore combinations that feel more personal than conventional bathroom selections.

When considering coloured basins for your new home, think about how they will work alongside the other elements in your bathroom.

  • Colour palette: Decide whether you want the basin to complement your existing finishes or create a contrasting feature.
  • Shape and proportion: Consider how the basin's form works with the vanity, mirror and available benchtop space.
  • Materials and texture: Balance concrete with complementary tiles, cabinetry, tapware and surfaces.
  • Everyday practicality: Consider basin dimensions, tapware placement, cleaning requirements and how the space will be used.

The goal isn't necessarily to introduce more colour everywhere. It's about choosing the right details to create a space that feels cohesive and reflects your personal style.

From the gentle warmth of Blush Pink to the rich personality of Copan Blue and the fresh appeal of Mint, the Nood Co. basins featured throughout our Lume Display Home demonstrate how a single selection can bring character to a space.

Whether you're drawn to subtle colour or something a little more adventurous, these bathrooms offer inspiration for exploring finishes beyond the traditional.
