9 luxurious bathrooms in Australia to inspire you

With one in every three Australians working on a home renovation, bathroom remodels are more popular than ever. Getting inspiration from other projects is a great place to start if you’re one of those that are and these luxurious bathrooms represent some of the very best in Australia in recent times.

Blending modern design and practical living, the Flinders Residence project focuses on black and warm tones in the bathroom spaces.

The black-heavy rooms do not feel dark, as the spaces are complemented with strategic lighting choices and lots of natural light. The master bathroom is large with a black vanity, complete with dark stone counters and a backsplash. The space includes gold accents in the hardware and trims, giving it cohesion and warmth.

Another feature is the oversized glass shower, complete with black stone floors and black tiles along the walls and ceiling. Paired with gold accents, a strategically placed window, and a white tub, the bathroom is a modern marvel.

The Australis modern bathroom project makes the most of every detail in the existing bathroom space. The unique arched ceilings are complemented by arched mirrors and arched faucets. The use of geometric grey tiles all the way up the wall to the ceiling accentuates the arch, making this unique structural element a design statement.

The shower space uses the same style of tiles horizontally rather than vertically, emphasising the tall ceilings. The grey stone tiles complement the depth of the shower. It doesn’t feel cold - the warm-toned lights and golden showerhead bring warmth to the space.

The Shenton Park bathroom renovations have resulted in two unique but equally beautiful luxury bathrooms.

The first features a large, floating, light wood vanity with a large rounded mirror in the same wood. The honeycomb-style black tile adds texture and depth to the space without making it dark but rather light and bright.

The second bathroom features a light blue tile accent wall behind the vanity for a pop of colour. The windows bring in an abundance of natural light. The glass shower gives the space an open-concept design and prevents light from being blocked.

The pinnacle of modern luxury, the Hawthorn Residence bathroom makes use of every inch of the large space. The floor is a seamless marble tile, giving the appearance of being a large slab. The hidden lighting adds brightness while keeping with the modern feel.

Front and centre is the large bath. This bathroom feature is the star of the show, positioned under a skylight for watching the stars while unwinding. Along the back wall is a large glass shower with two showerheads, perfect for a his-and-hers bathroom.

The space feels warm and inviting while being extremely modern. The use of space in this bathroom makes it feel large and luxurious.

In the Collaroy 2 renovation, the original bathroom was long and narrow. The design makes use of the length and emphasises it to create a luxurious modern bathroom.

Keeping an open concept, the shower along the back end is closed with a glass wall. The large mirror above the vanity reflects the natural light from the parallel windows throughout the space, keeping everything bright. Crown moulding emphasises the height of the bathroom, making it feel larger.

Complete with dual sinks and opulent stone floor tiles, this bathroom epitomises design success.

Taking influence from the 1980s and packed with modern luxury, the Malvern Residence is a one-of-a-kind home that utilises bold colours.

The freestanding bathtub nestles before blue glass wall tiles, framed against complementary blue tiles on adjacent walls. Elsewhere, a vanity sink is framed by pink tiles and a curved mirror. Everything feels light and fun with the excellent use of colour throughout the spaces.

Clean, fresh, and simple, the Boyle Street Balgowlah minimalist bathroom brings all elements together to create a new bathroom with impeccable interior design. The space is light and airy thanks to strategic window and skylight placement.

The open concept design allows all of the natural light to circulate obstruction-free. The result is a healthy bathroom design, bright enough that additional lighting is almost not needed during the day.

This bathroom features a light blue accent wall, simple but decorative tiles on the adjacent wall, and symmetrical black stone tiles, adding great texture and depth. The large freestanding tub against the far wall adds a superb focal point.

Light and bright come together in the Cooks River House renovation. The attention to detail in this project emphasises the bathroom’s vertical space, with a massive vanity mirror complete with built-in storage.

The impressive wood vanity is a bold and symmetrical choice, adding storage and tying in the wood frame of the mirror. The intricately patterned tile ties together with the blue in the mirror storage backsplash. Intentional choices allow all of these key components to work together in beautiful harmony.

The Stealth House project focuses on clean lines and minimalist finishes, and the bathroom is no exception. All of the details work together to create a futuristic, minimalist design.

From smooth white counters and washbasins to sleek silver hardware, the bathroom emphasises clean lines. The sleek, cool grey tiles continue to work their way up the far wall until reaching a sharp diagonal cut that is dramatic and dynamic.

Within a nook of the bathroom is an oversized soaking tub, perfect for hiding away for a few minutes of peace.
