They were after a simple yet highly functional bathroom suitable for their children and their guests alike. The space needed to be practical, with a modern yet timeless design.

The layout the design and build team ultimately settled on is fully functional, yet very aesthetically appealing too. The custom vanity and mirror cabinetry, open shelving and the shower niches provide an abundance of storage solutions. The fully tiled walls and floors create interest, while facilitating easy cleaning.

The placement of the wall tiles was a strategic choice; while they command attention, they also highlight the quality tapware as a feature. The custom clear shower screen was built into a niche, creating the illusion of a larger space. The room gets plenty of natural light thanks to the floor-to-ceiling window by the bath – which incidentally also facilitates a relaxing ambience for when the bath is in use. As it’s finished with fluted glass, it allows for a private and intimate space. Modern, tranquil and brimming with functionality, this bathroom is a study in fit-for-purpose yet visually appealing design.

These spaces can be playful, surprising … even a conversation starter for guests. This particular powder room, a close design collaboration between the owners and custom builders, Resi Homes, does just that. A captivating interplay of light and texture greets guests, with the Flame-patterned Mario Romano Walls from Austaron Surfaces elevating the room’s aesthetics. Multiple meticulously carved panels form an organic, non-repeating texture that flows flawlessly along the walls. Thanks to Mario Romano Walls’ puzzle piece-like interlocking design with undulating edges, the joins are inconspicuous. The result is a stunning and seamless visual display that transforms the small space into a work of art. The mesmerising effect is amplified by sensor lighting that instantly illuminates the walls and generates a soft, ambient glow when the powder room is entered.

Moreover, the three-dimensional panel carvings are beautifully echoed in the reflections cast on the adjacent Nero Marquina marble tiles, which serve as a dark and moody backdrop to the classic Parisi Hermitage pedestal basin. This stunning powder room elegantly illustrates how easily Mario Romano Walls can be used to fashion a visually impactful light feature in any interior space. There are more than 40 patterns to choose from and custom designs can be created. Each panel is carved to precise, project-specific requirements, ensuring a perfect fit and an exceptional design outcome. Installation is simple and when paired with a lightbox, the back-lit panels engender an enthralling ambience that transforms any space. To further enhance the effect, multi-colour LED systems can be incorporated. These allow effortless mood shifts, adding depth and versatility to the lighting design and ensuring a truly unforgettable experience.

They wanted their child-free, forever home to embody the ambience of a Roaring 20’s Prohibition Night Club – full of glitz, glamour and luxury. The resulting transformation was so stunning it allowed the designers, All Bathroom Gear, to take home the HIA 2024 Award for Renovated Kitchen over $50 000. The design team leaned heavily on the era of Art Deco glam throughout this full unit renovation, with careful consideration given to the tile and fixture selections to achieve the luxury feel desired. Gloss black subway tiles on the lower wall set the stage for the large-format Signorita Labradorite tiles above, with a bullnose belt rail tile used to transition between the two.

Matt black floor tiles surround a floor detail of the same stunning Labradorite feature tiles, pulling out the golden veining that complements the light that dances across the metallic gold painted ceiling created by crystal globe pendants by Chandlier Australia. Custom cabinetry in Resene Welcome Green adds an equally rich touch, just as the heritage toilet suite by Turner Hastings, Brodware brushed Nordic brass tapware and an Art Deco-style mirror add just the right amount of Prohibition-era pizzazz to make this bathroom truly shine.

The project was not without its challenges, given the ambitious nature of the design, and the fact that it was to be executed on the 29th floor of the building, the design team leaned on 20 years of experience, expertise and critical thinking by their tradesman and craftsmen. The team’s ability to engineer clever solutions with beautiful outcomes to each challenge resulted in a glamorous ensuite with a bygone-era flair for a fun-loving couple.

As one of the family’s children needs additional support, having enough room for a carer to help them with their daily hygiene routines was crucial. While the room size couldn’t change, additional space was created by removing the previously outgrown bath and hob. Removing these, and the corner shower, improved the ergonomics of the space, and provided provision for wheelchair access if needed. Better accessibility and light flow were also created by widening the doorway and installing an easily maintainable soft-close barn door. The inclusion of an intelligent toilet enables the disabled user to utilise it independently.

Under-floor heating provides improved air quality and comfort. The ceiling exhaust fan ensures superior removal of condensation, while a natural cross flow of air is achieved through the existing awning window. Ample storage was created via a generous recessed wall cabinet and 1-metre wide drawers in the vanity. A ledge wall provides shelf storage for toiletries and potted greenery, and the tiled window ledge also doubles as a shelf. Warm LED sensor lighting under the vanity and mirror cabinet creates a calming ambience, while task lighting is provided via ceiling downlights when needed.

This project was nominated for the KBDI Design Awards 2024 in the Instinct Interiors category. The KBDI Design Awards program is a well-established and highly regarded event held annually to showcase Australia’s top kitchen and bathroom designers.

When it came to the redesign of a townhouse for an owner with accessibility needs, the request was for greater ease of use and more space and storage. The original U-shaped footprint of the small kitchen was retained, so the under-stairs area was chosen to allow for more storage in the room. This meant the bench could be increased in size, with curved edges ensuring there were no sharp corners to bump into. A sensor tap was installed for ease of use, and Lo & Co pull handles with a hatched finish were chosen.

The higher cupboards are electric so that the owner can simply press a button within reach to close them. The Neff oven has a fully retractable door to save on space, with all-push button operation for ease of use. The peninsular bench was designed with half-round battens, along with a custom bespoke rangehood also with blackened bronze that fully encloses the rangehood to make it easier to clean. Two custom American oak timber floating shelves are not only functional, but also serve to warm up the space.

The townhouse’s bathroom also needed to have accessibility considerations and flexible options for washing and lighting. A small half-height wall was added for a toilet, and the shower now has a hinged moveable shower screen with fluted glass for some privacy. A handheld shower was added for extra accessibility, and a disabled rail installed for stability. A floor-mounted bath mixer with hand shower was also selected to help wash the kids’ hair in the bath and to help clean the tub itself.

The bathroom now has plenty of storage, with simple access into drawers and an in-wall shaving cabinet to keep everyday items within reach. User-friendly tapware was chosen to best suit the homeowner’s needs. Full-height tiling makes cleaning easy, while the patterned floor tile adds interest and hides hair and dirt. A black high-gloss handmade tile with a black quarter-round strip tile on top adds a sophisticated finish.

For the design of the powder room, the toilet was brought forward and a ledge was created to display items of interest. A hero-coloured basin catches the eye while the tiles add liberal dashes of charm to the space. The Mark Douglass pendant light draws attention higher up to its handblown shape. Simple downlights also illuminate the space and can be switched on separately for the right lighting to suit the time of day.

The quirky Merci Maison Alexia mirror is hand-forged iron – a unique piece that adds fun to the powder room while relating back to the black in the floor tile. All the various textures, patterns, finishes and colour are designed to uplift and make the viewer smile. As the homeowner loves autumnal colours, these earthy tones were picked to be used throughout the property, which was styled by Bea Lambos from Bea & Co.

This project was nominated for the KBDI Design Awards 2024 in the Small Kitchens VIC / Design Spaces categories. The KBDI Design Awards program is a well-established and highly regarded event held annually to showcase Australia’s top kitchen and bathroom designers.

The Brushed Brass Lavish range, now available across Australia and New Zealand, has been beautifully designed with both elegance and functionality in mind. It features a full brass handset, an adjustable wet rail that allows water to travel directly through the rail – no internal pipe – and a metal hose for a perfect colour match with the handset and rail.

The Lavish shower range’s adaptability is among its greatest strengths. While the unique rail facilitates installation in any bathroom, whether the water point is high or low, the adjustable wall bracket allows for easy DIY installation and maximum flexibility.

Best of all, if the Brushed Brass doesn’t quite work with your bathroom’s colour palette, don’t fret – the range can also be ordered in Brushed Nickel, Matte Black, Chrome and Gun Metal to bring your dream bathroom space to life.
