There is something particularly satisfying about looking back at a bathroom vrenovation a few years after it has been completed and seeing that the design still feels just as relevant.
This bathroom and walk in robe renovation was completed for a client approximately three years ago, and it is a great example of how thoughtful material selection and quality workmanship can create a space that does not quickly date.
The original bathroom had a very traditional feel, with dated finishes, limited functionality and a walk in robe that was not making the best use of the available space.
The transformation brought the two areas together with a much more considered design, combining classic details with contemporary finishes.
A bathroom designed to stand the test of time
The brief was to create a bathroom that felt fresh and modern without losing the character of the home.
Rather than removing every existing feature, the renovation retained the timber feature window and door trims. These warm timber elements became an important part of the finished design, adding character and creating a beautiful contrast against the cooler bathroom finishes.
The walls were finished with bottle green subway style tiles, bringing colour and personality into the space while still maintaining a classic look.
For the floor, Hamptons inspired patterned tiles were selected to complement the green wall tiles and add interest to the room.
The combination creates a bathroom that feels considered rather than overly trend driven.
The finishing touches
The fixtures and fittings were carefully selected to bring the design together.
The matt black shower screen creates a strong contrast against the lighter finishes, while brushed gold tapware and fittings add warmth and a subtle touch of luxury.
Together with the timber trims, green subway tiles and patterned floor, the finishes complement each other beautifully.
It is a good example of how a bathroom can have colour, pattern and personality while still maintaining a timeless feel.
A walk in robe that actually works
The renovation also included a complete transformation of the existing walk in robe.
The new custom storage provides ample shelving, drawers and hanging space, making far better use of the available area.
Open shelving provides easy access to everyday items, while the drawers keep smaller items organised and out of sight.
The simple cabinetry keeps the space clean and functional, with the matt black handles tying in with the bathroom’s black detailing.
Three years on and still looking right
One of the best things about revisiting this renovation is seeing how well the design has held up.
Three years later, the combination of bottle green subway tiles, patterned floor tiles, timber details, matt black and brushed gold still feels current.
That is what good design should do.
Rather than following every bathroom trend, the focus was on creating a space with personality, balanced finishes and practical functionality.
A well planned bathroom renovation should not just look good on completion. It should continue to work for the homeowner and feel right in the years that follow.
