Bathroom Renovation Redhead

All guns were blazing for this bathroom renovation in Redhead, Lake Macquarie, as we took on an ensuite, main bathroom, guest bathroom, and laundry remodel. Seeking a relaxed coastal vibe, it was also important to increase the functionality of these 90’s era bathroom layouts that were no longer working for our clients.

Services Provided

With four bathrooms to build, the project was split in two – the main and ensuite on the upper level and the guest and laundry on the mid level.

While the ensuite layout stayed unchanged, the main bathroom was opened and reorganised to provide maximum space and practicality for this family. What was previously a closed-in separate toilet and linen was opened wide and joined to the main bathroom. The vanity and shower changed locations, allowing for greater access to the bath and a walk-in shower experience. A much larger vanity now fit in what was previously a shower space, with enough room for multiple people to access it simultaneously.

On the mid-level, a guest bathroom was transformed by removing the bath and creating a large walk-in shower. In the laundry, new tapware and custom cabinetry were installed.

We provided the entire team of Banana Bathroom trades to complete this Redhead bathroom project: bathroom designer, site supervisor, demolition, plumbing, electrician, carpentry, plastering, waterproofing, tiler, painter and glazier.

Our clients found a beautiful blue patterned tile that suited their aesthetic to a tee and used the white, textured, matte subway from our display bathroom #6 to create interest.

There's nothing more coastal than blue and white - it's a colour part which always feels fresh and immediately interacts with the surrounding landscape. It's like bringing an extension of the beach home with you.

How We Did It

Main bathroom

By creating one large bathroom space between the original toilet, linen hallway and main bathroom, our clients were able to increase the size of and accessibility to each of the bathroom components.

We took inspiration from one of our most popular layouts – display bathroom #10 – to create both a walk-in shower space and provide as much access to the bath as possible. The previous steps up the bath were no longer serving our clients, so they were dismantled and replaced with a back-to-corner unit. Centring the vanity in this room means multiple people can access the space for simultaneous use. It also means that the natural light is equally distributed around the vanity – a bonus for getting party ready! Finally, a wall-mounted tall boy from ADP was installed to replace storage associated with the previous linen space.

Our clients found a beautiful blue patterned tile that suited their aesthetic to a tee and used the white, textured, matte subway form display #6 to create interest. In each room, this combination of blue pattern and white texture was used as a visual guide, enhancing the length of some of the rooms or focusing the eye towards natural light. This, combined with the warmth of gold tapware from Nero and the Tasmanian Oak of the vanities and cabinetry, is a stunning display of the Hamptons-derived but Australian-inspired coastal aesthetic.

Bathroom Renovation, Ensuite

For this double bathroom renovation in Kilaben Bay, Lake Macquarie, the clients had clear priorities: create a sense of privacy without feeling enclosed, incorporate natural finishes, and fill the space with abundant light. The result is a transformation where the previously dark, confined areas have been replaced with open, rejuvenating spaces that breathe new life into the home.
