How do I choose the best bathroom design for my property?

There are many factors to take into account when choosing your bathroom design. These include your needs and wants (for example, do you need a bath as well as a shower?), the amount of space you have (do you need to add a bathroom extension?), whether or not you have the most appropriate bathroom layout, the style of your property (particularly if it’s an older or heritage home), your design preferences and, of course, your budget. It’s also important to ensure the bathroom complements the rest of the property.
Thinking these questions through before you meet your bathroom designer will help them develop a design that meets your needs perfectly.

How much does a new bathroom cost?

A modern bathroom is high on many renovators’ wish lists, but before you start planning you need to consider your budget. A bathroom renovation typically includes a new bath, shower, vanity and toilet, plus extractor fan, towel rail, lighting, tiles, paint and flooring. The condition of the original bathroom and whether or not you plan to keep the existing layout will affect the budget too.
We suggest allowing up to $30,000* for a basic bathroom renovation, $30-50,000* for a mid-range renovation and $50,000+* for a high-end renovation. 
Working with a Refresh Renovations bathroom designer can help you get the most from your budget – he or she will negotiate the best deals on fixtures, fittings and finishes and bring in experienced trades for your job.
*Please note: these costs are rough estimations only and are subject to change.

What kind of bathroom is best for older style properties?

If you’re lucky enough to own one of Melbourne’s period properties, it’s worth researching its history and perhaps using that as design inspiration. Victorian, Edwardian, Queen Anne, inter and postwar and modernist properties and bungalows are likely to retain distinctive design elements that could help inspire a bathroom remodel. For example, Californian bungalows often feature patterned stained glass, which could suggest colour accents for a neutral-hued bathroom space.

How can I make the most of a tiny bathroom?

Many homes, particularly those in big cities like Melbourne, have small bathrooms.  A good bathroom designer will have plenty of tiny bathroom ideas and will be able to identify the best bathroom layout and help you select products, fixtures, fittings and finishes to help to you make the most of the available space. They can also come up with creative ideas to help create more storage, bring more light into the room and create a luxe feel even in a tiny bathroom.

How can I keep my bathroom warm in Melbourne’s cool winters?

Underfloor heating is an efficient and cost-effective way to warm your bathroom. It’s best installed when building or renovating so mention it to your bathroom designer at the outset.

Does it cost more to use a bathroom designer?

Working with Refresh Renovations won’t cost you any more than managing the project yourself. In fact, it may even save you money. Refresh Renovations bathroom designers are able to negotiate the best prices with our preferred suppliers and manage all the trades needed for the bathroom installation, which increases efficiency and helps keep costs down.
