Sarah’s Bathroom Reno

Sarah's two bathrooms were 14 years old. Laminate floors, tired fittings and a wall between the vanity and the shower. The owners wanted them current again, with an eye on resale, and the brief was good value without dropping the quality. We left the layouts where they were. Both rooms had high ceilings and plenty of daylight, so the gains came from inside the existing footprint: the dividing wall came out, vanities got longer and showers got bigger. Sarah went against the usual small-bathroom advice and chose dark tiles. With that much light coming in, the darker palette made the rooms feel warmer, not smaller. Our in-house design team kept all three wet areas on one scheme. The main ensuite has a large freestanding bath under the window and a tiled shower with a double waterfall head. Every vanity was built to measure in Bestwood MDF with marble-look engineered stone tops, and the second ensuite's unit was made narrower to fit. A touch-screen panel runs the lights, fan and underfloor heating.

Doing the bathrooms, toilet and laundry together meant the trades, waterproofing and tiling ran in a single sequence instead of three separate disruptions.
