Imagine a bathroom that feels like a calming retreat—inviting, peaceful, and effortlessly stylish. That’s exactly what one family in Carlingford, NSW, achieved with our Temple & Webster renovation range. By transforming their two bathrooms into spa-like sanctuaries, they’ve brought a touch of luxury to the everyday—and who wouldn’t want that? Let’s take a look at their beautiful makeover.
 
 
 

The Benefits of Removing the Bathtub

One of the biggest decisions in this renovation was removing the bathtub in the main bathroom. While this might not be the most common choice, it made perfect sense for this family, who rarely used the tub. By eliminating it, they were able to relocate the toilet behind the door, improving privacy and creating a more open, functional layout.
 

 

Maximising Space with Wall-Hung Vanities

Looking for space-saving bathroom tips? This renovation is packed with smart solutions. To enhance the sense of space in both bathrooms, the homeowners chose wall-hung vanities. This floating design creates an airy, open feel—particularly beneficial in smaller rooms.

In the main bathroom, the large Sanremo Mirrored Shaving Cabinet complements the vanity, adding extra storage while reflecting light to make the space feel even larger. In the ensuite, our Mecca Round Mirrored Shaving Cabinet introduces a softer, more organic shape, avoiding harsh lines in the compact space.

A Softer Approach to Neutrals

Originally, the homeowners envisioned an all-white aesthetic, but they soon realised that soft, neutral bathroom colours would create a warmer, more inviting atmosphere. Instead of stark white, they opted for a mix of warm whites and creamy travertines, adding texture and movement to the design.
 



 

Feature Tiles for Added Texture

To elevate the luxurious feel of both bathrooms, feature tiles introduce texture and depth. In the main bathroom, Zellige tiles, laid in an offset pattern, create a subtle sense of movement. In the ensuite, delicate Kit Kat tiles add refined visual interest. These choices bring character without overwhelming the space.

The Beauty of Brushed Nickel

Brushed nickel fixtures are a perfect example of modern bathroom fixtures that enhance a soft, understated aesthetic. Unlike brighter metallics such as brass or chrome, they create a more subtle contrast, resulting in a sophisticated, cohesive look that exudes quiet luxury.

Setting the Mood with Wall Lighting

Lighting plays a key role in any design, and if you're searching for bathroom lighting ideas, this renovation is full of inspiration. Instead of relying on harsh overhead lights, these spaces feature warm wall sconces that cast a soft, ambient glow—perfect for relaxing at the end of the day.
