Bathroom renovation projects, recorded decision by decision
A finished bathroom only tells half the story. When a project is published, its page will set out the other half: the suburb and the room, what the owner asked for, what was changed behind the walls and which finishes were chosen. Each one will read like a schedule, so you can compare it with your own bathroom, ensuite or laundry in Oakleigh and nearby suburbs.
Reference plate — freestanding bath, timber vanity, stone-look surfaces
What every case study records
Photographs of tiles and tapware are easy to find. What is harder to find is the reasoning: why a shower moved, why a wall-hung vanity suited a narrow room, why a floor was rebuilt before it was tiled. Every project page will follow the same seven-part order, so the decisions will be laid out in the sequence they were made.
That order mirrors our renovation process, from the first consultation to handover.
Schedule — case study contents
01Suburb — where the home sits, from Oakleigh to Clayton or Carnegie.
02Bathroom type — main bathroom, ensuite, small bathroom, shower or laundry.
03Client brief — what the room needed to do and what was not working.
04Before and after — matched views of the same wall, taken from the same position.
05Solution — layout, drainage and waterproofing changes made on site.
06Materials — tile formats, grout, vanity, screen and tapware finishes.
07Final result — how the finished room now works day to day.
Design inspiration — twin blue vanities, timber mirrors, wall lights
Start with the finish, then read what sits beneath it
Grout colour changes the whole wall
A dark grout line turns a plain white tile into a drawn grid, so every cut and every misaligned joint shows. It rewards a careful set-out and punishes a rushed one. Read more in Choosing Bathroom Tiles.
Before and after, as a matched pair
