FAQ
Direct answers
Which bathroom design ideas age well?
Large quiet fields of porcelain, timber or timber-look vanities, and chrome or nickel tapware. High-contrast feature walls date faster than a well-proportioned three-quarter bathroom with honest storage.
What style suits Melbourne bathrooms?
The historic site favoured three-quarter utility rooms with better lighting and tile. That still holds for small Melbourne bathrooms. Contemporary clean lines suit rear additions; Mediterranean tile logic suits a powder room, not a windowless ensuite, unless you control grout and light.
