How We Got It Done
Planning & Site Preparation
We approached the bathroom, toilet and laundry as one coordinated renovation, using a consistent material palette to connect each space while allowing individual features to stand out. Terracotta tones, warm timber and brushed brass details were carried throughout the project, creating a strong visual connection between the wet areas without compromising functionality.
Layout, Services & Waterproofing
Plumbing and electrical services were coordinated to suit the updated layouts, new fixtures and integrated lighting. Waterproofing and floor preparation were completed across the wet areas to provide a durable foundation for the new tiling and fittings.
Tiling, Fixtures & Finishing Touches
Terracotta feature tiles bring depth and richness to the bathroom, creating a warm focal point against the softer surrounding finishes. A fluted timber vanity adds natural texture and complements the earthy colour palette. Brushed brass tapware and accessories provide a refined contrast, while soft accent lighting adds warmth and highlights the material detailing. Custom handles made from solid brass and natural crystal complete the look with a premium finishing touch. The same warm palette continues through the toilet and laundry, creating consistency across each space while maintaining practical storage and everyday usability.
Delivering the Solution
The completed renovation delivers three wet areas that feel connected, warm and carefully considered. Consistent finishes create a seamless flow between the bathroom, toilet and laundry, while each space remains practical and functional for everyday living.
Terracotta tones, timber textures, brushed brass and soft lighting give the renovation a cosy yet refined character. The result is a timeless transformation with distinctive details that bring personality to the home.
