How to design a bathroom that’s completely unique

When you’re spending money on a bathroom renovation it’s often easier to go down the safe route – white tiles, white sinks, stainless steel fittings. But what if you went for something completely different?

To help you make your bathroom renovation one-of-a-kind, we’ve come up with a quick guide to unique bathroom renovations.

Use colour

If you’re going for a unique look using colour is key. You can incorporate colour with your choice of wall paint, your tiles, your vanity or even your fixtures and fittings. Go for something that suits your space – for example small bathrooms may be better suited to lighter colours, while large spaces can suit darker hues.

Embrace imperfection

Things can sometimes be too perfect. So embrace little quirks in your bathroom design and try to create them when you renovate. For example, handmade tiles often have different finishes and textures, which can make your surfaces much more interesting.

Go for a freestanding tub

Freestanding baths are still relatively rare in Australian bathrooms. Installing one in your bathroom is a design statement that’s sure to set your space apart from the rest. The right freestanding tub can look like both a bath and a sculpture, so make sure you choose something high quality from a trusted brand.

Carry your home’s personality through

If your home has unique character, why not carry that through to your bathroom? For example, if your home is an elegant old villa you could go for a classic bathroom renovation with ornate taps and farmhouse sinks. The Armando Vicario Provincial 3 piece basin set would be perfect.

Stock up your open shelving

If you’ve got interesting things to display in your bathroom, plants that thrive in humid spaces, or really nice towels – why not go for open shelving? This adds a touch of personal style to your space.

Hang art

Bathrooms usually don’t feature art, but we think these spaces can be perfect for wall hangings. Try incorporating a piece into the blank spot on your bathroom wall and you’ll see how much personality the right artwork can add.
