FOCUS ON SUSTAINABILITY Having an eco-conscious approach to your bathroom design doesn’t just make your bathroom look good, it does the planet good too. Fortunately, there are many ways you can focus on sustainability in your bathroom design for short-term style impact and long-term eco friendliness. When it comes to sustainability, we’re big fans of making small changes that lead to a bigger impact over time. For example, you could opt to start using non-toxic and unbleached bamboo toilet paper, or perhaps you could even install water-saving bathroom fixtures such as showers and mixers. It’s amazing how much impact these changes can make for a relatively low cost. However, if your budget allows, you can score even more sustainability points with a few big-ticket items. Smart toilets are a popular…

This bathroom is a concerto of rich colour and texture. The solid-timber four-drawer wall-hung vanity is complemented by the Italian premium ceramic oversized basins in matte white. The cascade vessel mixers with swivel spout in antique brass add a touch of glamour. The Japanese soaking tub with in-built seat was custom-made in Mexico from hammered copper. It takes centre stage and sets the scene for relaxation and comfort. Beautiful textures and metals in dark tones have created a luxurious and calming space. Downlights for general lighting have been paired with vertical strip lighting for additional face-height illumination by Litfad. The ensuite can transform from a lavish light-filled room to prepare for the day to a dusk-inspired calming haven. The wall, floor and feature wall tiles add colour and depth to…

The aim of this project was to achieve a clean timeless look that ticked all the boxes for small apartment living. With smaller areas, space is at a premium, and providing adequate storage improves liveability. In the bathroom, the custom-made vanity with Bleached Elm 6404 chalk-finish Laminex is a feature. The top is Caesarstone Black Tempal, with a Caroma Contura semi inset. The vanity provides plenty of storage with its deep drawers, which also have built-in internal drawers. Extra storage is taken care of with a large shaving cabinet. Before the renovation, the outdated 1980s bathroom lacked storage and wasn’t functional. The tiled shower and basin area added to the dated look. The new bathroom has injected style and practicality. Removing a dated spa bath allowed more room to move.…

This stunning powder room is quirky, eclectic and simply perfect for its owners. Previously a tired and plain bathroom, it has been transformed into a black and white extravaganza that befits the style of the home and is perfectly matched to the owner’s unique style personality. Black is a bold choice in any small bathroom, but paired with white panelling and gold accents the space comes to life in a delightful way. The bathroom has been personalised with the owner’s own accessories to enhance the Art Deco style, which includes a stunning 19th-century gilded frame mirror and fun “butler”, imported from the USA, to hold hand towels. A bathroom such as this requires excellence in design and workmanship to achieve its lofty goals, and Brindabella has more than met the…

With a master ensuite that overlooks the ocean, it doesn’t get much more luxurious than that when it comes to bathroom views! Imagine soaking in the freestanding bath while taking in the stunning scenery of Sorrento in Victoria. With the previous outdated home being completely knocked down and rebuilt, the homeowners had the perfect opportunity to create their dream bathrooms from scratch. They wanted to evoke feelings of luxury throughout the new dwelling without making it feel like a hotel. The finer details add to the luxurious atmosphere, such as the 800 x 800 mm porcelain tiles that emulate natural stone and have been fitted with underfloor heating by Thermogroup. With 360° views of Sorrento, the living and dining room on the third level also overlooks the ocean. A lift…

When planning your new bathroom, make a statement in style with a feature piece like one of these freestanding baths from Decina. These products are the epitome of opulence, with their generous dimensions that allow you the opportunity to fully experience total body submersion and dual bathing. Thanks to the thermal-efficient, sanitary-grade acrylic design, the water temperature can also be maintained for extended periods, resulting in longer, more luxurious soaks for you and those you love. All these benefits do not sacrifice style. For a more contemporary bathroom, we love the Valentina tub with its matt white finish. Its clean lines and subtle design finishes really capture a sense of class without the costs of a stone bath. For those with more classic bathrooms, you can't go past the Regent,…

The bathroom can be a beacon of beauty. Given the right treatment, it’s a place where luxury abounds and indulgence reigns supreme. After all, this is a room dedicated to self-care. It’s a place to reset, to wash away the troubles of the day and begin again. It’s away from the temptation of too much tech and allows the user to simply just be, whether bathing, beautifying or completing basic needs. Yet not all bathrooms are created equal. Some grand bathrooms offer more than just a place to cleanse and contour due to their spectacular setting, their fascinating features or their daring design. When integrating grand design into your bathroom, utilise the assets you have available. Consider the view, the scale of the space, the rest of the home’s style…

This stylish bathroom needed to sit comfortably with the heritage home it belonged to. Premier Interior Design's goal was to create a seamless flow to ensure the tiling worked with the chevron flooring on the hallway next to the bathroom. The client had a specific brief: blend the old with the new while also offering a contemporary but timeless design that would not date and would stand the test of time. The designer focused on making sure the right materials and tiling were selected to create a stunning high-end bathroom that would complement the home beautifully and add value. The gorgeous Organic Resin Ice 300 x 603 wall tiles and Quartz Bianco 600 x 600 floor tiles from Geelong Tiles & Bathware (GT&B) create the perfect backdrop for this bathroom.…

This guest bathroom is a clever construct of materials that combine to create a beautiful space for visitors. It’s modern and sophisticated, as well as welcoming and inviting. Before the renovation, the bathroom was a cold, uninspiring space and lacked the warmth of the rest of the home. The layout is the same, but with the new fixtures, fittings and tiles, the bathroom has been transformed into a stunning space guests will never want to leave. The double shower with gold-brushed tapware provides ample space and plenty of luxe. The feature wall, in penny-round Norway rose honed mosaic tiles, adds loads of pizzaz to the shower space. It’s complemented by the timber vanity that’s generous in size and modern. Comfort is taken care of with an LED and demister round…

Compact and highly functional, this three-way bathroom, powder room and laundry from designer Matt James of Better Bathrooms & Kitchens offers privacy and versatility in a calming environment. Tucked away at the end of a short hallway, the bathroom zone is tied together with a large-format tile that spreads across the floors and up the walls. Running through the short hallway lined with floor-to-ceiling joinery that conceals the laundry, into the separate toilet closet, before flowing into the zero-threshold shower room, the Terra Grey porcelain tiles display a subtle aggregate, stone-like look that sets the foundation for a soothing, unified space. Crafted in a solid and strong black melamine, the custom-made vanity is capped with an integrated double sink of quality Corian in stark Glacier White. The strong contrast of…

This modern bathroom has clean contemporary lines and a comfortable sense of flow. It’s a calming, cosy space that offers a relaxing respite at the end of a hard day, and a beautiful spot for a quick refreshing shower in the morning before the beginning of a busy day. The 20mm Pure White Caesarstone with pencil-edge detail is easy on the eye and is teamed with the Polytech Florentine walnut cabinetry to add a modern touch.

A 25-year-old dated bathroom with a tiny shower and corner spa was in dire need of an upgrade. The homeowners were after a new functional space that would feel larger and more luxurious upon entry. It needed to have impeccable lighting and be easy to clean, with large-profile tiles. Navi By Centre provided all the essentials for this bathroom renovation. The most breathtaking feature from this transformation is the Blue Roma Quartzite used for the vanity and shower shelf. Its striking golden tones offer a dynamic element akin to a work of art. Non-slip tiles were a must for this space, and the decision was made to incorporate Geostone tiles in Grigio Matte from Fusion Tiles. The size and grandeur of the selected tile make the bathroom turn spacious and…

When working with a smaller bathroom space, it’s imperative that the design factor in scalable furnishings, uncluttered decorative pieces and efficient storage solutions. The owners of this Eltham-based ensuite called on local business Yeomans Bagno Ceramiche to help them create their dream space.

One of the key design elements is the stunning feature subway tile with its beautiful colour tone variations and herringbone lay. This subway tile perfectly complements the terrazzo tiles, mirroring the warm brown and earthy tones.
