Being unable to travel gave Alex and husband Ryan the perfect opportunity to work on the master bathroom.

“This is the first house we have ever renovated!

“We completed our guest house early last year. Our focus then turned to our main house. We couldn’t travel with Covid so it was the perfect time to get stuck in to it.

“We changed the layout of the bathroom completely. Everything is new! I focused on earthy textures and tile pattern, with a touch of colour.”

Inspired by different styles, the soft earthy tones create a dreamy atmosphere perfect for relaxing after a long day.

“Being a fashion designer I have always loved being creative so it really came in handy when choosing all the elements.

“When I first started designing this bathroom, I had no idea. I knew I wanted natural textures like timber, but it took some time to find all the elements. I definitely wouldn’t say this bathroom has a specific style, it’s such a blend.

“This bathroom is a blend of my favourite elements from a few saved pictures I found on Pinterest and Instagram. I really liked the idea of a feature wall colour. Now I absolutely love our peach Venetian render wall behind the bath.”

With every renovation project, it’s good to know what you want out of a space before you start!

“The bathroom had to feel as big as possible. With our 4-year-old, the bath was a must! I also had my heart set on an arched niche above the bath.

“We definitely splurged on the Venetian render from Modtexture and the bath and basin from Highgrove bathrooms. We wanted a touch of luxury and are super happy we didn’t skimp on these.

“Definitely plan early. Don’t pick things last minute. We were hoping to have a sky light above the bath, but it just wouldn’t fit with our solar panels on our roof.”
