Ugly bathroom reno
Comments (24)Are you after a quick makeover to sell or do you intend to live in the finished renovation. ? I will work on details of a renovation to last say 15 years. First step advise the body corporate in writing the water proofing has failed and a renovation is necessary Floor drainage can.t be moved on top floor, however vanity drainage 40 mm pipe can be chased into a wall and with a tile bed 25 mm thick, chased 10mm into floor. to change pos'n of vanity Water is easy to relocate, Plumber on Never paint a bath, the guarantee is only 5 years, Never use white floor grout. Part of a mixer tap is under your tiles, problem expensive to replace. Only purchase tapware with 15 yr warranty, Grohe, Methvan, Sussex, expect to pay from $ 300 each mixer. Bath Only steel Kaldewei Eurowa $ 400 , 15 yr warranty. Designers secret, to make your bathroom appear larger, place all the available space together. Vanity All drawer wall hung ( floating ) is really the only vanity Harvey Norman recently had an imported 900 wall hung at about $ 900. Tile to ceiling Replace your ceiling and add cornice after tiling, top floor unit will require fire rated ceiling and fire rated LED Length of time by pro 3 weeks, any shorter waterproofing is below standards. when obtaining quotes you want the whole bathroom floor coated, 1 coat under tile bed, 2 coats on top, 2 coats on relevant walls. $ Quality Reno All up 20 K, Porcelain floor tiles, Ceramic wall tiles you can save about $ 1000 if you strip out.

Comments (20)We considered all of your ideas and more, to the point where we had a sure plan, quoted and ready to go - only to be surprised when we actually saw it. That plan was to make the current ensuite the main bathroom and enter off the end of the room, to reconfigure the WIR to a third bedroom and to make Bed 2 the new master with a walk-thru robe to the new ensuite - currently family bathroom. The issue was that despite taking room from the existing wardrobes between the WIR and Bed 2, the area was just too small - so back to the drawing board. What we have decided to do is keep the same floor plan, knowing that if we choose to sell and return the WIR to a third bedroom it will cost approx. $4K - we think this is a great return on investment, but for our needs the WIR is a big benefit. It turns out our draughtsman missed some vital space where our current pantry exists so we have been able to utilise that space and move the pantry. This has allowed us to change the opening to the main bath to be adjacent to the back door/hall area which removes it from the kitchen/dining/lounge. Despite our best efforts we couldn't make room for a separate shower and bath, so we will have a shower over bath (island style) larger vanity (1200mm) and a concealed cistern toilet. Our finishes will do the talking with exposed brodware michaelangelo shower/bath mixers, beautiful marquina carrara and nero mosaic floor tiles and subways together with a statement wallpaper. We will retain the ensuite as is but we will make the shower significantly bigger, add a large vanity and concealed cistern toilet as per main bathroom. Same finishes. The trick in the ensuite is that we will cover the existing windows opposite the existing shower with the vanity and shaving cabinet (they are frosted from the outside) so we can utilise that wall and it makes no difference to the outside of the house - plus they are double glazed and don't open on that wall so it makes no difference to light or function. Here are the floor plans and the before photos , demo has occurred and we'll be framed and lined prior to Christmas, so stay tuned for more updates!...See MoreBathroom Reno Ideas
Comments (17)Hi Bree, Our main bathroom is identical to ur bathroom. We r about have our bathroom renovated as well. Is ur toilet next to the bathroom as u walk in the door? We have our toilet next to the bathroom. There is a void space in front of the toilet that also leads into the bathroom. We r moving our toilet forward into the void as a individual room. We r then moving the opening to the bathroom a little further down the hall. The area that was the toilet is being reframed to be included into the bathroom and will be a shower that will be double the size of the current shower. Therefore we have a lot more space freed up with the shower moved for a larger vanity and bath. This was the only way we could keep everything in the bathroom without it looking so pokey. I hope this makes sense. Pls let me know if I'd doesn't and I can draw it up....See MoreDesigners/creative folk..Please help with..ideas for bathroom reno....
Comments (18)Your mockup scheme is similar to our master bathroom we just completed - photo below. I know you mentioned storage being a concern - our mirrored cabinet has offered an amazing amount of storage in a very small space and also helps bounce light around. I was worried about black taps etc too so we kept chrome fixtures but added in a matte black candle and black potted orchid to create a similar effect which we can change out later on. Our floor tiles are dark but because they are semi-polished they actually bounce around a lot of light and don't make the room feel dark if that is a concern. We also have a huge fiddle leaf fig in the corner (not pictured) which adds a really nice feel to the space - a plant like that could help bring in the outside greenery in your bathroom. Instead of the storage tower you have to the left of the vanity could you do say some floating wood shelving, possibly with baskets added for more hidden storage? You could also bring in the 60s theme with what you displayed on there eg. photos as you mentioned? In regards to the window - a previous house we lived in had a window at about shoulder height in the shower - as well as letting in heaps of light it was amazing for storing toiletries etc!...See Moresiriuskey
