Westmere Rustic Bathroom

The owners of this Westmere home didn't want another white bathroom. They came to us with a clear picture of a warm, darker room to unwind in at the end of the day, and our job was to turn that idea into something buildable. Every old fixture and tile came out. The new layout centres on a large walk-in wet area, separated from the remainder of the bathroom by a custom-cut glass panel instead of a full enclosure, so the bathroom still reads as one open space. A skylight in the raking ceiling drops daylight straight into the shower. Before any tile went down, the whole wet area was waterproofed across the floor and up the walls. Colour does the rest. One wall of the wet area is Artisan Moss Green Gloss, set against 600 x 600 grey floor tiles and white subway on the walls beside it. Matte gold tapware and soap dispensers bring warmth, used sparingly so the room stays calm rather than flashy. The vanity is our own build, made from Melteca's water-resistant MDF and long enough to run nearly the length of one wall. It floats off the floor and carries a 30mm matte black engineered stone top with two large rectangular Reece basins. Older homes rarely have square walls, and building to the room avoids the gaps a stock unit leaves.
