Christies Beach

Project Summary

This bathroom is a true one-of-a-kind transformation, built around the client’s clear vision and love of character-filled design. The hero of the space is an antique dresser the customer sourced and wanted honoured. Reimagined into a bespoke vanity, complete with its original mirror and warm timber detailing. From there, every selection was made to complement that focal point: rich green wall tiles, patterned flooring and soft blush walls create a confident, layered palette that feels both playful and considered.

The result is a bathroom that doesn’t follow a template, it tells a story. By blending vintage craftsmanship with modern function, we brought the customer’s idea to life in a way that feels personal, bold and beautifully finished.

Before and After

The focal point: antique vanity reimagined

The entire design begins with the customer’s antique dresser, carefully transformed into a functional vanity while preserving its original character. The warm timber, vintage hardware and matching mirror create a sense of history that instantly sets the space apart. Rather than competing with it, every surrounding finish was selected to elevate this piece and let it remain the unmistakable centre of attention.

A bold palette with confident contrast

This bathroom embraces contrast in a way that feels intentional and curated. Deep green wall tiles ground the space and bring richness, while the blush-toned upper walls soften the look and add warmth. Together, the combination feels unexpected yet balanced a modern colour story that still nods to the vintage heart of the room.

Tile selection: texture, pattern, and personality

The tile choices are a major part of what makes this space so distinctive. The patterned floor introduces movement and detail underfoot, while the green wall tiles add depth and a strong visual backdrop. With the mix of finishes and tones, the bathroom feels layered and bespoke.

The shower zone: modern function within a character-led space

To balance the vintage elements, the shower zone is clean and streamlined, keeping the room practical and easy to use. Clear glazing maintains an open feel, while the overhead shower delivers comfort without visual clutter. It’s a modern zone that sits comfortably alongside the antique focal point, proving you can have everyday function without losing personality.
