Maintaining the integrity of a home's character during renovations must be portrayed in every room to create a cohesive design approach.This was the case here with two bathrooms requiring replacement to bring the house up to an even standard. Elegant Bathroom Design completely gutted the areas and re-created a new family bathroom and ensuite.Designer Claire McLean says the main bathroom is now a practical, spacious room with double vanity basins, a shower over the bath and a wall-hung toilet.

"We chose restrained, neutral colours for a clean, fresh look. The 80mm-thick granite benchtop adds a touch of luxury."For privacy, the toilet is concealed behind a tiled wall. A cut-out in the wall allows light through to the shower and creates an eye-catching feature.The ensuite was also renovated using the same crisp, clean colours as the master bedroom. Tiled walls are accented by a granite top and square handbasin and the design includes good storage.
