West Auckland Bathroom

It started with a leak. Rather than patch it, Chris and Hang decided to redo the bathroom properly. They'd never renovated before, so they did the guest bathroom first to see how it went. Then they booked the main bathroom too. The look came together at our Wairau Valley showroom, where a walnut vanity paired with brushed gold tapware caught Hang's eye. Our designer Dorothy Li kept the gold in check by surrounding it with calm neutrals: Urban Cement White Alyssum wall tiles, Casserto White R10 anti-slip floor tiles and warm American walnut. The gold reads as a finish rather than the main event, which is what stops it dating. The main bathroom was the harder room. It was small, poorly laid out and dominated by a bulky acrylic shower. Dorothy moved the fittings to make the layout work, and we replaced the acrylic unit with a tiled shower behind clear shock-proof glass. With the box gone, you can see right to the wall and the room feels bigger, all without moving a wall.
