4 |Designer: Omer SagivIrregularly stacked pebble shapes make up the limited edition ‘Water Stone Faucet’. The zen-garden worthy tap is teamed with a gently scooped sink, and comes in a contemporarychrome finish or a delicate china white. 
5 |Designer: CatalanoBuy It: eBay: $1126A minimalistic white slab takes on extra character with the incorporation of a blue splash shaped hollow. 
6 |Designer: Mastella DesignVia: TrendirResembling the shape of the Calla lilly, the ‘Kalla’ sink is a freestanding form made from Cristalplant. 
7 |Designer: Cristal PlantAnother sink formed from Cristalplant (which is the first eco-sustainable solid surface made from materials of plant origin combined with natural inert minerals of absolute purity) is this chunky block cut through with a slimline grate drain. 
8 |Designer: Victor VasilevThis sharp corned cuboid outline appears to hang precariously in mid-air, with waste water disappearing into the subtle mount. 
9 |Designer: LDVC‘Wing’ is a wall sink that looks as though a solid basin has taken on fluidity and been stretched out in either direction, with the horizontal plane forming a vanity shelf, and the vertical reach offering a decorative light. 
10 |Designer: Joel RobertsVia: SVPPLYThe ‘Eaux Eaux’, or ‘Water Water’ basins become crashing waves as the water from the fully integrated faucet touches down into the bowl. 
11 |Designer: RapselA disappearing sanitary ware design has been made possible by topping the washbasin, toilet bowl and shower tray with solid larch wood covers. The WC volume also incorporates a small storage drawer to the side. 
12 |Designer: usTogetherContinuous lines create these unique bathroom wonders, where a glass sided basin and bath are directly connected, or an over-bath shower is flipped to become an outer bath shower from the side of a freestanding tub. 
13 |Designer: Chin Chia Lim ViaVia: Yanko DesignThis one is excellent for showmanship but we’re not really convinced about the function; you certainly couldn’t brush your teeth at the sink whilst the tub was filling! 
14 |Designer: DesnahemisferaVia: FreshomeThis design is a little more practical, though if your partner likes to wash at the sink whilst you bath then you might find yourself getting splashed by cold water. 
15 |Designer: CaromaHere is a concept that combines the sink with the toilet. but rather than for the sake of aesthetics it does this for the very important purpose of conserving water. Here is how it works: After using the WC, the hand basin can be used to cleanse your hands with fresh water. The water used will then be stored in the tank as gray water for when next you flush. 
16 |Designer: RocaBasically the same concept of using the water drained from the sink for the flush, but realized in a more elegant form.

The detached block is home to one bedroom, a bathroom, and it’s very own living room complete with fireplace, and a kitchen that doesn’t skimp on more gourmet appliances.

1 |Photographer: Antony CrollaOne example of simple space repurposing would be to utilize the unused area under a staircase, like this cozy double bed set up. The custom made platform bed fits snugly into the under-stair alcove, and the design also incorporates under-bed and over-bed storage that runs straight into the side of the stairs too. 
2 |The under-stair area also works great for hideaway day beds/reading nooks like this one. 
3 |Photographer: Atlantic ArchivesBunks under a sloping roof, like in this loft space, are a great solution where precious floor space is eaten by a central stairwell. This particular example also incorporates a set of space saving storage shelves in each bunk cubby. 
4 |Bunk beds make full use a rooms vertical space, and make better use of the floor space than a set of twin beds. This elegant set takes on the characteristics of a four poster bed complete with canopy, and transforms into a double decker of day beds during the daylight hours. 
5 |Bunk beds are a great layout hack for getting more sleeping space out of a lesser floor area, but these bunk beds take up the least space of all: a shallow wall panel acts as the holding dock in which the beds can be folded away with ease when not in use. 
6 |This bedroom harbors four beds but still looks to have masses of floor space. The centrally placed ladder becomes a design feature rather than a hindrance, and the clean crisp lines of the bunks almost become moment of contemporary architecture. 
7 |Via: DwellGenerally, when you move the bedding space up, you are be able to find room for a lot more things. Storage shelves, a clothes rail and even a wash basin find a home under this high shelf-bed; the arrangement here also makes nice use of the high placed windows. 
8 |Designer: Remo ZimmerliPhotographer: Rob LewisThis adult cabin bed makes room for a home library and media cabinet, which allows the extra gained floor space to become a lounge and entertainment area. A dual use makes a small bedroom feel like a much more luxurious suite. 
9 |Photographer: JJLocationsAnother variation of moving the bed ‘up’ is to completely conceal it within the ceiling, where you might not even notice, or recognise it. This suspended bed designs appears almost as an architectural feature, whilst the solid staircase leading up to it gives the sleep space a permanent and sturdy appeal. The skylight would make this a very bright place to wake up in the mornings, but if those window panes are made of clear glass then the view of the stars would be mesmerizing. Sleeping up in a nest like this may feel a little strange to some, but as there is a bath tub in the dining room of this home, we don’t suppose the homeowner minds a little touch of the extraordinary! 
10 |A mezzanine level is a winner in double height homes for all sorts of uses, but a bedroom hidden in the rafters is one of the best. 
11 |Photographer: Todd SelbyEven a half mezzanine can be more than big enough for two.

15 |Designer: Yo! Home…or this one. 
16 |Visualizer: m-deptAnother alternative to hiding beds in the ceiling is to put them under the floor, like this roll away trundle.
