Brief: To design a main bathroom that seamlessly blends playful charm with a contemporary edge, fostering a space that is both inviting and stylish.
Incorporating VJ wall panelling complemented by whimsical wallpaper to add character and a sense of fun. Warm wood tones, soft ribbed textures, and brushed gold tapware to enhance the welcoming ambiance, while luxurious wall sconces and veined sintered stone introduce a touch of opulence. A bold yet soft paint palette, combined with carefully selected tiles, complete the design, to elevate the spa-like ambiance.
Scope of Works: The original tired and dated bathroom was completely gutted. Including removal of the original window, replaced with a sleek skylight over the shower, to fill the room with natural light.
Clever design introduced concealed storage, a hidden wall cupboard, adding essential functionality without compromising style.
We retained the original door, a nod to the home’s Queenslander charm, and transformed it into a cavity slider.
High-end finishes were used throughout, including a smart toilet with bidet functions, completing the luxurious transformation.
Our client chose a gorgeous, vibrant washable wallpaper, which not only injects a playful splash of color but also offers practicality and durability, making it perfect for a bathroom environment. It’s a clever design decision that combines beauty with function.
Complementing this, we introduced our signature feature, VJ wall panelling, but rather than a traditional white, we stayed with the bold colour theme and picked up on the soft blue-green tones within the wall tiles and wallpaper.
The vanity takes centre stage, adding a beautiful touch of sophistication with its warm wood tones and soft textures, whilst the tapware marries modern elegance with practicality.
A favourite detail of ours are the beautiful feature wall lights either side of the mirrored cabinet. Beyond capturing the brass accents of the tapware, these lights serve as design statements, accentuating the beautiful veins in the sintered stone vanity top.
Adding an extra layer of sophistication, the ribbed custom curved shower screen meticulously mimics the grooves found on the vanity.
The walk-in shower features our trademark stone ledge running the length of the main shower wall whilst beautiful soft blue-green wall tiles complement the vibrant wallpaper.
By removing the outdated window and introducing a stunning skylight above the shower, we transformed the space, flooding it with natural light and creating an elevated, spa-like atmosphere that feels both luxurious and serene.
Taking advantage of an empty wall space, we seamlessly concealed a discreet wall cupboard within the VJ panelling to create a clever storage solution for our client.
The inclusion of the bidet toilet suite, provides not just a functional necessity but a luxurious touch to the space.
We're proud to unveil the transformation of this space, evolving from a mere functional area into a bathroom that radiates with timeless charm, now infused with a contemporary edge. It's a space where elegance meets modernity, ensuring it will be a cherished retreat for years to come.
