Turning a drab bathroom into an experiential space is a top priority for many homeowners, and designer Kate Carter certainly delivered on this brief. The transformation of this bathroom highlights the incredible potential of turning a lacklustre space into a stunning sanctuary—an inspiring example of what’s possible with well-planned design.
One of the primary goals for this renovation was to address the lack of storage in the existing bathroom. By incorporating under-vanity joinery and a strategically positioned integrated shelf detail within the Epoque Ivory wall tiles for hair and body wash products, the space was elevated to provide both functionality and style.
The custom fluted glass shower, framed in black with cross bars, pairs beautifully with the aged brass tapware, while the rich navy tiles add depth and sophistication. This combination is eye-catching during the day and transforms into a serene retreat at night, with soft lighting highlighting the textured surfaces.
Complementing the crisp white window architraves, Staron was chosen for the double vanity, featuring seamlessly integrated Staron basins. Staron not only adds to the bathroom’s visual appeal but also ensures effortless cleaning. Impervious to water, Staron Solid Surfaces is an ideal material for a wide range of applications in bathroom fitouts, offering both durability and elegance.
Working within the existing footprint, Kate transformed the bathroom from a dull, uninspiring space into a tranquil, elegant sanctuary. The result is a place of escape and relaxation—a true retreat for adults to unwind in style.
This bathroom was just one of four that were renovated simultaneously. For the master ensuite it was to be cohesive with the rest of the homes interiors but also feel just that little bit elevated compared to the family bathroom. For consistency Kate used the Staron integrated vanity tops and basins, custom stained timber veneer vanity joinery and the fluted glass across the bathrooms.
