Undertaking an entire bathroom renovation is a big - and costly - decision. But you can give your bathroom a brand new look by just upgrading one thing. 

Be inspired by these fresh bathroom ideas.

Move over paint, wallpaper is making a comeback in the bathroom. You don't need to cover the entire space. Instead, choose one wall and make a feature out of it. 

New taps and shower heads

Give your bathroom a brand new look by simply swapping over tired and dated fixtures. Be inspired by new trends in brass and gold tapware, and go for a slimline option for a minimalist look.

We love a bathroom flooded with natural light - especially with pale timber touches and geometric floor tiles. #MalvernEastProject.

Ditch that clunky shower door for a new frameless style and a sleek new look.

The mirror is the focal point of the room, so make a feature of it. Go up a size and make your space look bigger. 

Knobs and handles

Circles upon circles. Simple yet sophisticated. Innovative yet understated. 💫 #WilliamstownProject #GIArenovations

Want to make a strong style statement? Swap your old handles and knobs for a look that pops. Choose the same shape and materials as your fixtures for a unified look.
