A homeowner in Keilor had a functional bathroom that no longer matched how they lived or the quality of finishes in the rest of their home. The built in corner bath dominated the room, the layout felt enclosed, and the dated tiles and fixtures made the space feel smaller than it was. They wanted a bathroom that felt like a sanctuary: open, light filled, and refined without being overly designed. Working within the existing 3.3m x 2.7m footprint, the challenge was to create a sense of space and calm while introducing warmth through natural materials and thoughtful details.

Gidaya Group approached this transformation by removing the corner bath and repositioning a sculptural freestanding bath to maximise natural light from the window. This single move opened up the room and created a focal point that anchors the space. A wall hung fluted timber vanity with twin vessel basins introduces warmth and keeps the floor clear, making the room feel more generous. Large format stone look tiles in a soft neutral tone run continuously across floors and walls, creating visual calm. The frameless shower includes a recessed niche with integrated lighting, and carefully positioned wall lighting supports the daily routine. Brushed metal fixtures and a heated towel rail add functional refinement without visual noise.

The result is a bathroom that feels twice its size: open, warm, and grounded, with materials chosen to age gracefully and details that support everyday comfort. The remodel reflects how Gidaya Group works on smaller projects — the same care and detail decisions that scale up through homes and developments, applied to a single room.
