Waterproofing a bathroom is designed to contain water within the bathroom perimeter and to prevent water damage to wall and flooring structures. Under the Building Code of Australia – F1.7 and Australian Standards – AS3740, it is mandatory to waterproof a bathroom.

For starters, think about using lighter colors; they really help open up a space.

A nice, big mirror can bounce light around and give a more airy feel to the place.

Look, bathroom renovations don’t have to burn a hole in your pocket. First advice? Don’t move the plumbing. It’s costly. Maybe just paint over old tiles instead of replacing them? Small changes, like new taps or handles, can make a big difference. Also, keep an eye out for deals and discounts. And, if you’re hands-on, a bit of DIY can save loads.

When choosing tiles, be mindful of durability and water-resistance. Most folks go for ceramic or porcelain – they’re solid choices. Thinking about natural stone? Looks great but needs a tad more care. For tile grades, stick to Grade 1 or 2; they handle daily life pretty well.

Light tiles can truly brighten up a bathroom and make it appear larger. But on the other hand, dark tiles? They give a classy, luxurious feel. Just be mindful, light tiles, they can show stains quicker. And dark tiles, sometimes they might make space feel bit more confined.

Oh, definitely! You can look into materials that’s sustainable, like bamboo. It’s really coming up in popularity these days. And LED lights? They’re not just brighter, but they’re efficient and saves energy too.
