Pros and Cons Of Wet Room Renovations

The best way I would describe wet room bathroom renovations is when one item of a bathroom is also in the shower area. This item can be the bath, vanity or toilet that shares the shower area. Traditionally these wet rooms can be taken as different meanings such as no shower screen rooms or rooms that have a dry area and a wet area. Below we will cover the pros and cons of wet room set ups.

The big plus a wet room is it gives an opportunity to have less glass and much bigger feeling shower. Below is an example of if Inverell bathroom we completed that uses the toilet in the shower area.

PROS:

The wet room will feel so expansive with that frameless glass
Allows for a more efficient use of the space which is often more visually appealing
Wet rooms can make small bathrooms appear larger and we all know large bathrooms tend to look more luxurious

CONS:

A wet room design is generally a lot more ‘open plan’ so yes, splashes and steam can go everywhere
Waterproofing is a lot more costly and labour intensive
Drainage and tiling of the falls is crucial and something you want to be done by a professional
There are some restrictions on where electrical can go i.e. power points heated towel rails.
It is not the easiest to tile and you need a lot of experience to complete them

Wet rooms renovations, or baths in the shower renovations both being similar or the same thing are becoming more popular over the years. I love them and when we first did them it was a client who had the guts to do it 10 years ago. It takes years of experience to understand not only how to tile it but to put it together with the right drainage and get the fall. You should really only do these types of renovations with experienced renovators or you will have bigger issues down the track

Glen Innes Bathroom Tiling

Below is some bathroom tiling we have completed in Glen Innes NSW. For this lovely renovation for Jill, we used Subway tiling in the Ocean Dove Light Grey Subway tiling. The key to subway tiling is to either go a colour or to put a contrasting grout to make the most of those beautiful lines.

Stanthorpe Bathroom Tiling

Lets keep the subway tiling going with the bathroom tiling job we completed in Stanthorpe QLD. If you are going to use subway tiling or horizonal 3/4 brick bond like below please use a contrast grout so you can show off all our hard work.

Inverell Bathroom Tiling

For this Inverell bathroom tiling below the owner wanted to use a hexagon sheeted tile. These tiles were placed on mesh sheeting which you need to have flat walls for or a lot of prep work. If you are looking for Floor and Wall Tilers in Inverell NSW just ask about this Calacatta Maximus Hexagon bathroom tile that makes the room look stunning and this thing in person was beautiful.

Armidale Bathroom Tiling

What I love about this Armidale bathroom renovation we completed last year was that it kept it simple by using larger tiles. Whenever you do a bathroom tiling in 600mm x 600mm the key is getting enough fall to make your drainage work. It takes skill to get the drainage and it also impact the drain and the shower screen set up you have.

Casino Bathroom Tiling

When you think of bathrooms in 2020’s you think 300mm x 600mm rectified tiles. These rectified tiles in the 300mm x 600mm are the most common tiles we lay in bathrooms. Below is a Casino bathroom renovation we completed that uses this Americano Grey 300mm x 600mm porcelain wall tiles mixed with a handmade subway which is always my favourite to do.

Laundry Renovation Advice

A functional and organised laundry can make a big difference between a dull, boring and time-consuming activities and a smooth running operation.

You deserve a laundry room that will make your work more pleasant . An efficient and well-designed laundry can not only function as a utility area but a room you will be pleased for others to see.

Below is some great advice picked up over our last 30 years of renovating laundries that hopefully will help in your next laundry project.

All About The Draws (Practical)

A humble ergonomic revolution swept through houses across the world when drawers started to replace cupboards in the kitchen, and there’s no reason why our laundries can’t be transformed in the same way. It is much easier to open a drawer and quickly locate what you’re looking for than it is to rummage around the back of a dusty cupboard for the fabric softener.

Think Of The Future (Design)

Before you make any laundry design decisions, it’s important to take your lifestyle into consideration. Take the time to consider the inclusions and appliances you want now as well as how your needs may alter in the future.

For example – do you work full-time, with a rapidly expanding schedule? Then you might want to include a drying cupboard or condenser dryer to save precious time. Or maybe you’re planning on a few extra family members in the future, and allowance for a heavy duty washing machines might be necessary. Our advice is to consider and prepare for these things in advance before finalising your laundry design, as the laundry is usually a small space with minimal room for future alterations.

If There Is Space We Will Fill It (Storage)

Every functional laundry needs adequate storage to house you laundry items, from detergents to washing baskets, and everything in-between. Space permitting, your bench top should be positioned either over laundry bins or over your appliances. This will allow you to easily pull out clothes from the bins or appliances to be seamlessly and immediately sorted on the bench top. If you don’t have a dedicated laundry room, consider installing a pull out benchtop that can serve this purpose.

Don’t make the mistake of not including a combination of versatile storage options, as this is key to a functional laundry design. A mixture of open shelves, cabinets and purpose-built cupboards will keep all of your laundry products within easy reach. Make sure you vary the size of your cupboard too – tall, narrow cupboards can be used to store mops and brooms for example while open shelving should be used to store items that are used on a regular basis. And importantly make sure the shelves in your over head cupboards have adequate clearance height, to store your laundry/cleaning products that are harmful to children or pets

Functional Is King

Irons, mops, brooms, vacuum cleaners… they all need to be stored somewhere and if your laundry is like mine, it is probably used as a domestic dumping ground. Rather than tripping over stray objects or straining your back to lift heavy sporting gear off a high shelf, think about the equipment you keep in your laundry then design your storage needs around that.

Ideally, you’ll have a combination of deep and shallow drawers, tall and short cupboards and plenty of hanging space. But you may also want to include wall-mounted bike hooks, open shelving for small gardening implements, a tall cupboard for spades and tools, space to store large suitcases, or room for the kids’ scooters and kites.

Shower Bath Renovations – Before and Afters

Below we have some bathroom renovations where we have used the shower bath set up which is often used for bathrooms that are either limited due to plumbing placement or would like to have an extra item such as a toilet or larger vanity but are still trying to retain a bath.

Grafton Bathroom Renovation

What I love about this bathroom renovation was we had a custom made black grid shower screen to add a touch of class.

Warwick Bathroom Renovation

Bathrooms that are on the first floor always give you a challenge to what can be done. This bathroom is an example of with a few tiled boxes what you can achieve.

Torrington Bathroom Renovation

Herringbone tiling is a beautiful finish that must be seen to appreciated. It is hard to tile but the pay off is immense.

Inverell Bathroom Renovation

Be bold with your features, like this Inverell bathroom renovation the multi colour feature wall pops the space but is not overpowering.

Brisbane Bathroom Renovation

Shower baths are not always the first choice but they can be deep and allow for you to have nice relaxing bath.

Dream bathroom renovations cover such a wide-ranging area due to the remote location between Regional NSW and Rural Queensland. Below we show some of our recent amazing bathroom renovations in a bunch of areas to give you a better idea of where we do our bathroom renovations and the types of bathroom and tiling work we do.

Torrington Bathroom Renovation

Below is a bathroom renovation we completed in Torrington. It has an amazing herringbone feature wall and uses the wet room layout which is great for bathroom renovators who hate a shower bath.

Warwick Bathroom Renovations

This Warwick bathroom renovation opens up the space so much better with the use of a semi-fameless shower screen getting rid of that big framed wall.

Casino Bathroom Renovation

Often one of the keys to a better functional bathroom space is doing what we call ALL IN A ROW bathrooms which is about putting all the items on one wall making for a much larger feeling room. This casino bathroom renovation incorporates tiling that allows for a warm feeling.

Grafton Bathroom Renovations

Unfortunately, we sometimes forget the before photos (my bad) but here is a mid-way just as we are doing the bathroom waterproofing on this Grafton bathroom renovation. The tiling used in this bathroom is a classic feature wall and floor tile we love to do to really break up the space tying into the vanity finish.

Stanthorpe Bathroom Renovations

This Stanthorpe bathroom renovation gets rids of that unused bath and changes it to a walk-in shower screen with a beautiful black framed shower screen. The bathroom tiling used in this Stanthorpe bathroom renovation is a combination of the same floor tile but in a smaller size and used a larger 300m x 600mm on the wall to create a vertical feature making the bathroom feel higher.

Inverell Bathroom Renovation

For the below images, you see a bathroom, we completed in Inverell that uses a freestanding bath as a shower bath. Often clients had bricked baths due to them being so low and really unusable for adults. The bathroom tiling we completed in this Inverell bathroom was a beautiful encaustic floor.

Glen Innes Bathroom Renovation

Below is a bathroom renovation we completed in Glen Innes NSW. The before image of the bathroom is your classic smaller ensuite using a 3 Part Screen.

After this Glen Innes bathroom renovation, we have gone with a much bigger feeling frameless shower screen, a shower niche, a beautiful subway feature wall using Ardex black grout finished off with a beautiful LED Mirror.

Armidale Bathroom Renovation

Below is our door/indoor bathroom renovation we just completed in Armidale NSW. Our client Sue was originally just looking for some bathroom tiling in Armidale and once she found out we did the entire package she was fully in.

What I do love about this bathroom is the small square tiles which have the impact of being too overpowering.
