This Maribyrnong bathroom celebrates character and personality through bold pattern, warm texture and a playful mix of old and new. The striking black-and-white checkerboard floor instantly sets a nostalgic tone, echoed by glossy subway tiles and classic white cabinetry. A curved basin and matte black tapware introduce a contemporary contrast, balanced by woven pendant shades that soften the space with natural warmth. Art takes centre stage here, with a vibrant framed print injecting colour and soul—transforming the vanity wall into a gallery moment. High ceilings, original window details and a clean, all-white envelope keep the room feeling bright and uplifting, while the frameless shower maintains openness in the long, narrow layout. The finished space feels curated and lived-in, effortlessly blending vintage charm with modern refinement for a bathroom that’s full of personality and everyday joy.
