In this West Footscray transformation, we infused a compact footprint with rich, tactile character. The client wanted a bathroom that felt cozy and contemporary—so we wrapped one wall in deep terracotta tiles laid in a simple grid, instantly warming the space and creating a striking focal point. Custom terrazzo benchtops tie the bathing and vanity zones together while adding a subtle pattern that balances the bold tile. Brass fixtures and tapware bring a luxe glow against both the terracotta and the soft grey floor tiles, while built-in shower and bath niches seamlessly integrate storage without breaking the tile field. A freestanding bath sits atop a minimalist grey base, positioned beneath a wide highlight window to maximise natural light and preserve privacy. Every element here was carefully orchestrated to transform an ordinary layout into a personalised retreat full of texture, warmth and thoughtful detail.

"The original bathroom layout was out dated, cramped and dysfunctional. We turned the bath around to under neath the window then dropped the floor to build a step free shower in the middle of the room. Installing a frameless single panel shower screen keeps the room open while being functional. Green kit kat tiles, reflect the fluted glass panel on the bathroom door and draw your eye. While the original pedestal basin is a nod the age of the house, the mirror cabinet hung above it is a modern luxurious touch."

"Renovating this bathroom, we transformed an old, outdated layout into a functional, stylish, open plan design. We stole room from a sperate WC to open up a larger family bathroom. The warm inviting feeling in this room was created with the volcanic coloured large format floor tiles wrapping up the wall behind the bath. The matte white wall tiles contrast with the floor while keeping a warmth. The sourcing of unique materials by the clients is perfectly shown with the pairing of the vintage mirror and wall sconce hanging above the handmade concrete basin atop the custom, spotted gum vanity. The modern brushed brass hardware ties it all together."

"The brief was to create two ensuite bathrooms worthy of a magazine. Not only have we created two beautiful spaces but we have added storage in rooms that are functional and stylish. Warm tones and high-end fittings evoke a spa-like feeling. Organic textures such as Oak vanities and matte white subway tiles contrast beautifully with the luxurious brushed brass hardware."

"Our brief here was to change a generic early 2000's bathroom into a sophisticated modern space. An existing bath was removed, in it's place we built a step free shower with full length niche into the rear wall. A new vanity with concrete basin and top lit shaving cabinet adds modern luxury. The tiles are large format 600mm x 1200m concrete grey paired with black tap ware and details. This timless design has gone on to become one of our most asked about."

"Removal of the existing shower over corner spa and creating a stylish modern space was the brief. We dropped the shower recess floor to create a large step free shower. A free-standing bath fits snuggly between contrasting tiles. On one side the bold, charcoal floor tiles flow up the shower wall creating a perfect sharpness and on the other the warm handmade, imperfect textured Moroccan tiles. A truly bespoke bathroom we kept existing timber wall panelling to half the bathroom as well the pedistal basin as a nod the original era of the house."

"A water damaged hole in the bathroom floor was the main reason for this bespoke bathroom renovation. What we built was much more than a patch job. The shower over the bath is the best use of space. Black tap fittings and hardware contrast perfectly with the vertical, textured subway tiles. The handmade concrete basin on top of the reclaimed timber vanity is a beautiful juxtaposition. The real hero of this space hits you right between the eyes, the geometric floor tiles create patten, add colour and make this a unique space you want to be in."

"The clients wanted to keep the Art Deco charm while bringing the bathroom into this century. The standalone shower recess was replaced with a toilet to create a comfortable family bathroom. A shower over bath was built with a large niche in the shower wall for plenty of storage. The original vinal floor was replaced with a monochrome mosaic tile. The original pedestal basin and bath had a resurface to color match the new blush, fish scale feature tile. Gloss white tiles and black details retain the Art Deco flavor."

South Cres, Northcote

"This spacious bathroom is serviced by a generous walk-in shower and large free-standing bath. The full height window behind the bath allows light to flood the space, inviting you in. The herringbone floor tile, textured subway wall tile and bespoke timber vanity create a warm calming space. Above all, the outstanding feature of this space is the wall paper mural that takes over a whole wall, it's mauve and beige tones perfectly complement the earthy elements used throughout the whole room."

"We had Ben and his team renovate our bathroom, wc and laundry. They did a fantastic job. Ben, Baxter and Mike were all friendly and professional. They care about the quality of the finish and consulted with us on anything that could impact function or look. Ben managed the other trades well and everything was done on time."

"We had a strong vision for the design but weren’t sure how to bring it to life. Ben’s advice, patience and expertise guided us through the entire process, and the end result is everything we hoped for. Throughout the project, communication was clear and consistent. The craftsmanship was exceptional, with great attention to detail and care for the overall look and finish. Everyone on the team — including subcontractors — was friendly, respectful and tidy, which made a big difference. The project started and finished on time, the quote was fair, and we appreciated the helpful suggestions to keep costs down without compromising on quality. We also loved that they’re fellow Inner West locals! Thank you, Ben and team — you made our first renovation experience a great one, and we’re so happy with the outcome. 🧡"

"If you are pondering on a bathroom renovation - the team at Bespoke Bathrooms will bring your vision to life, with passion, professionalism and punctuality. Ben was lovely to deal with throughout the entire process. He was very approachable no matter the context or situation, friendly, attentive and professional. I felt extremely fortunate to have him coordinate our bathroom renovation. Each tradesperson did an impeccable job when it came to their time to shine - resulting in a luxurious, rejuvenating space beyond my expectations. The before and after photos speak for themselves aesthetically, however the overall practicality of the bathroom is also highly worth noting. We are totally in love with our new bathroom thanks to these guys! Now if only they did kitchens too 😜"

Urwin Street, Yarraville – Emily

"Working with Baxter and the team was a fantastic experience. We designed our bathroom with various surfaces and textures in mind, and they made our vision a reality. Throughout the construction process, we received regular updates and were kept informed about any issues that arose. Although there was a delay in the installation of a timber surface that could have been avoided, the overall experience was positive. The team was easy to work with, and the craftsmanship was excellent. We recommend them for your renovation project."

"I had such a wonderful experience with Ben and the team at Bespoke Bathrooms. Helping me understand what was possible within my small space, the team then showed incredible care in helping me create a beautiful and functional bathroom. I am so obsessed with the space, and am so thankful for the skill and pride that the team showed at every step of the way."

Holmes Road, Moonee Ponds

"Thanks to Ben and the Bespoke team, I now have my dream bathroom. It was renovated with care and exemplary attention to detail and building/plumbing codes. Communication was excellent throughout and work progressed on a daily basis. I am thrilled with the result."

Conifer Avenue, Brooklyn

"As is usual, we were overambitious with our renovation plans. Between design, having to restump, covid and life, it took us years to finally agree to get started. Once we did, Ben and his fabulous crew were on the job! Bespoke Bathrooms were on time, realistic with timeframes and budget and up front when things changed. Ben and his team were always professional and polite and were en pointe when it came to scheduling all the different trades. Each bathroom was done on time, with quality finish and minimal impact to our young family. Would highly recommend. Thanks Bespoke!"
