Bathroom renovation ideas
Our bathrooms were perfectly functional before, but they didn’t reflect our aesthetic. Or the practical needs of having a toddler in the house!
To keep a lid on the bathroom renovation costs, I wanted to see if I could create a bespoke look using off-the-shelf products – namely, the joinery. In the bathrooms, I chose vanities from Vanity By Design, which you can have custom-coloured.
Getting the bathroom floorplan right
I redesigned this floorplan over and over to make sure I could fit in everything I wanted and I STILL got it wrong!
When the builders framed everything up I was able to measure up everything I had in the actual space and we realized that my bath and the vanity, were just too big! Thankfully I was able to change my order and we went for pieces that were just a tiny bit smaller.
Tiles and tapware
As for the design, I went for a mix of marble chevron and terrazzo stone tiles. I absolutely love the way the patterns clash but the colour palette’s still the same. The brushed nickel taps and light, have a real rustic feel, plus they won’t show watermarks as much as a polished finish will.
