Story

A Rural Refresh for Real Family Living

This bathroom sits at the heart of a busy country home and was well overdue for a reset. Originally built in the early ’80s and left untouched for nearly two decades, the space had become outdated, impractical, and honestly, a bit of a headache for this growing family. The toilet wasn’t working properly, water splashed everywhere, and there wasn’t enough room to function comfortably. With young kids in the mix, something had to change.

The new layout makes the most of every inch, blending charm and practicality in a way that suits both the home’s rural setting and the rhythm of family life. A stylish vanity with a built-in sink and deep drawers provides essential storage. No more cluttered benchtops. The bath is now generously sized, giving the kids plenty of room to splash, while big-format stone tiles in soft grey bring warmth and character without showing every speck of dirt. Easy to clean and tough enough to handle everyday chaos, they’re a lifesaver in this household.

A rail shower with a built-in niche adds just the right amount of polish. Underfloor heating is ready for those chilly mornings, and cavity sliders throughout make the most of the space. Even the ceiling got an upgrade.

It’s not flashy. It’s not over-the-top. It’s just exactly what this home needed: a functional, beautiful space that finally feels like it belongs.
