A bathroom that is practical and aesthetically pleasing can be a challenge to design, especially when working with a small space.
Measuring only 2.4 x 1.9m, the bathroom in this first-floor extension needed every trick in the book to make it look and feel bigger than it is.
When the extension was added, the bathroom was built as an empty shell with only plumbing and wiring installed by the tradies.
The layout was kept simple, with plumbing for just a shower, toilet and vanity, as a bathtub in a room this size would occupy too much space.
For the waterproofing and tiling, a professional tiler was called in.
Large-format tiles were selected to increase the sense of space.
The chocolate colour on the floor was continued up the wall opposite the door to add visual depth, while glossy white tiles were used for the other walls to brighten the space.
