Taringa bathroom renovation

A compact footprint made simpler and brighter

This Taringa bathroom keeps every essential within a modest footprint while replacing the raised enclosure and mixed finishes with an open shower and one clean material palette.

The transformation

Less visual clutter, more usable shower space

The original bathroom placed a raised framed shower directly opposite the entrance, with a compact vanity and toilet sharing the remaining floor area. Small floor tiles and half-height wall tiles added several visual breaks to an already compact room.

The completed design opens the shower across the end of the room, carries glossy white tile to the ceiling and uses large-format floor tiles to create a calmer, more continuous surface.

Before & after

The entrance opens into the room

Removing the raised framed enclosure creates a clear line of sight from the doorway and makes the shower feel like part of the room rather than a separate cubicle.

Three essentials, one coordinated layout

The toilet and vanity remain efficient within the compact plan, now finished with simpler forms, concealed storage and consistent wall and floor surfaces.

A larger level-entry shower

The old shower tray and framed doors were replaced with an open tiled wet area, rain head, hand shower and recessed wall niche.

Storage becomes part of the design

A taller timber-look vanity and mirrored cabinet add useful concealed storage while keeping the fittings visually compact beside the toilet.
