Before and after: Mosman guest bathroom
We recently completed this amazing guest bathroom project in Mosman NSW. Take a look at the before and after photos to get the full scope of the renovation and wonderful changes made.
My client brief:
The brief was to bring this dated guest bathroom into the current age. The glossy white tiles [with multi coloured feature detail] were circa late 1980’s and my client wanted a complete refresh. The bathroom was originally a segue between two guest bedrooms, with the intention now to block off one entry and make an exclusive bathroom for just one guest bedroom. The other adjoining room then was transformed into a media room.
Before: The guest bathroom was all glossy white tile with dated fittings. I wanted to remove the double vanity and wall to wall joinery as it was suffocating the space. Two sinks were not required functionally, and reducing to one 1200mm vanity would free up space. The doorway ahead would eventually be closed in.
Before: No need for a bath anymore, so this was to be removed and a frameless shower screen added.
After: By blocking in one of the doors, I added interest to the now uninterrupted wall. I opted for a grey Chevron tile from Di Lorenzo tiles. The floor and fourth wall were kept to a simple tile that meshed tonally, designed not to fight for air time with our star Chevron tile.
The client, a keen art lover, had a collection of interesting pieces so I decided to use a fabulous piece by Italian/Australian artist Salvatore Zofrea to add a graphic black & white statement to a Chevron feature wall
After: To add warmth, a blackbutt wooden vanity top was added and the vanity cupboards and mirror were painted in Dulux ‘Malay Grey’. Backlit LED lighting in the 1200 mm wide mirror added ambient light.
After: Waterproofed LED lighting was also added to the new niche designed within the shower area. A frameless shower screen simplified and modernised the new walk in shower area.
Keeping it simple but modern was key. Burnt black accessories and a touch of green leaf are all that were required to add the finishing touches this sleek, and now very modern guest bathroom.
A bathroom now refreshed and totally up to date for 2019 and beyond.

Is a bath necessary in a small bathroom?
Comments (63)I have a shower over bath combo' which its plastic resin something? It's a old bungalow and pitifully small. The amount of times I have nearly slipped over getting out, or lost my balance with soap in my eyes/ or after having a glass of wine. hate hate it. I did see a shower room with a additional hand held device and a over head shower. I thought that good for the odd squirt your feet down. The next owners will probably rip it all out and start again any way when design ideas change....See MoreBathroom layout
Comments (5)minor variation to dimensions allow for wider vanities, more space in the toilet and if you have the choice, the toilet reversed is more private (add sound insulation, ventilation for the toilet and a solar skylight for the vanity area will make the rooms more pleasant to be in and 60cm deep base cabinets have more counter space for the girls to spread out, storage under for towels and linen with matching mirror doored medicine cabinet for everything else...See MoreBefore and after of a walk-in shower
Comments (29)My walk in was well over a metre deep and width was a couple of metres to the wall. The glass screen was a metre and a bit so there was no splashing into the room. The shower came off the end wall same as the pic however it was one of those variable height showers on a rod, I have no doubt the shower in the pic will be splashing into the room which would drive me nuts. Mine looked great, so open, neat, big, except the floor hadn't been layed properly so instead of the water going toward the drain under the shower head it went all over the bathroom, nearly 3 metres out right down to the loo creating a massive puddle in front of the vanity as well. Getting it sorted with the builder was nightmare I eventually gave up and ended up having a low barrier installed from glass to wall. It still looked fine and stopped the problem but one really has to ensure the floor angle is done properly before embarking on the walk-in shower exercise....See MoreBathroom reno done! Thanks for the suggestions
Comments (6)We deliberately used a different tile to add interest and to contrast with the white bathtub. It really makes the bath and white shelving stand out much better than white against white. To reduce the number of different materials used, however, we matched the grey floor tile on those walls and also in the shower niche, only switching from matt floor tiles to matching Lappato tiles....See More- PRO
