The style of that bathroom is definitely not 'old style': it is quite modern. Although not strictly 1960s style, to me there are some 'echoes' of 1960s in the clean lines of the timber vanity: reminds me of mid century furniture. I don't think you need to stick with pure and authentic 1960s design in most 1960s chamferboard houses. They have simple lines, and I think can handle modern, up to date bathrooms. And generally bathrooms are where people expect a bit more 'modern', even in older style homes.

Seems to be poor provision of task lighting for people using the set-back mirrors above vanities, especially in the area farther from window. I'm thinking fine tasks: eye care, make-up, shaving. It's a common problem in public building bathrooms: lighting at basins and mirrors so lacking or thoughtlessly positioned that it's hard for a user to fix hair, check grooming and so on. Was a lighting designer consulted for this Moonee Ponds job? Can someone offer advice about where to position vanity lighting?

Hi Evee, How about something like this? It would give you a very roomy bathroom, with everything you'd need. You could, alternatively, put the toilet where the towel rail is, and put the towel rail behind the shower door, which would give you space for a storage unit behind the bathroom door; but stepping out of the shower to face the loo might not be very attractive! Also, anyone walking into the bathroom won't immediately see anyone on the loo, as it's behind the door. I know there could be a fair bit of plumbing reorganisation, but I think that, no matter what you do, that will be the case. I think it would be worth the investment for a really functional and beautiful bathroom, though. Oh, and don't forget to put in a couple of double power outlets at the vanity - there always seems to be too few in most people's bathrooms. I hope this helps.And I agree with OKLouise about shopping around for bargains and second hand or re-purposed units. New things seem to cost the earth these days, but you save heaps this way, and you can use your money for plumbing and electrical. Good luck! Would love to see a picture of the finished product.
