Creating An Ideal Bathroom

Bathrooms are one of the most important rooms in a home. They can have a huge impact on your quality of life, and may greatly affect the resale value of your home. When it comes to bathroom renovations, it pays to do your research and get professional help. Complete Bathroom Renovations has over thirty years combined experience in bathroom design and renovation. We follow the latest trends in bathrooms, but we are not slaves to fashion – we know what it takes to produce timeless classics.

Design Essentials

When you open the door to your bathroom what do you see? Foggy mirrors, leaking taps, a toilet, perhaps? Bathrooms should be an inviting sanctuary with:

• Plenty of ventilation
• Loads of storage
• Plenty of natural light
• A feeling of privacy
• Easy clean and non-slip surfaces
• Quality fixtures and fittings

Choosing The Right Materials

The sheer volume of materials available for bathroom renovations can be overwhelming, but take it one step at a time. Think about individual materials, and how they complement or enhance your overall design.

Tiles

Tiles are popular due to their durability, versatility and at times, breathtaking beauty. It’s important to choose carefully, because your choice of tiles can make or break a bathroom.

Ceramic

Ceramic tiles are durable, easy to clean and come in an endless variety of colours and styles. They are resilient to moisture and stains, but can chip and scratch easily. Ceramics are a good choice for walls and low traffic areas.

Porcelain

Porcelain is low maintenance and practically waterproof, which makes it great for bathroom floors. Porcelain tiles cost more, but they are incredibly resistant to moisture, staining and wear, making them perfect for high traffic areas.

Natural Stone

Luxury and sophistication go hand in hand with natural stone, however like so many beautiful things in life, they are costly and high maintenance. Natural stone is porous and best used sparingly as a contrast to porcelain or ceramic tiles.

Colour Schemes And Finishes

Paints should ideally be high-gloss, semi-gloss or satin finish with inbuilt mould resistance to counter the humid conditions of a Brisbane summer. Colours schemes should create a calm, soothing environment suggesting cleanliness and privacy. For example, pale blues and greens combined with natural stone will create a space that invites relaxation. We understand how to get the most out of your chosen palette – natural, cool, warm, rich or entirely individual – you decide!

Quality Fixtures And Fittings

Quality tapware, a stunning bathroom vanity or amazing lighting options can make the difference between a beautiful bathroom and a stunning space. We can offer advice on the best fittings for your bathroom, and put you in touch with reputable suppliers of quality fittings and fixtures in the Brisbane area.
