Lisa de Boer Design wins the 2023 TIDA Australia Designer Bathroom of the Year

A key functional requirement for this ensuite renovation was that the new bathroom should be designed for ease of use and wheelchair access, if needed in the future.

Creating the shower’s tile base flush with the surrounding floor provides easy wheelchair access, while there is also seating on a roomy bench with its own overhead shower fitting.

To bring the bathroom to life, the designer developed a coral theme using silver, black and white tones. 

This coral design was hand-painted back to front on glass panels that line the walls throughout the ensuite, as well as being applied to the slumped glass, vanity countertop.

It also extends to the bespoke wall sconce, while the two semi-translucent, under-lit vanity basins add another dimension to the design.

The TIDA judges felt that while the accessibility requirement has been purposefully met, it hasn’t over-dominated the outcome, resulting in a bright and attractive bathroom that the owners would enjoy being in.
