Shop their looks: the first Block bathroom reveals

By Jen Bishop โ€ข

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Brad and Dale won by a long shot in last night’s first bathroom reveals on The Block and I thought they did a gorgeous job. Personally, I found it hard to choose a favourite between their work and Alisa and Lysandra’s. If you want to get the look of any of the four couples, read on.

Clockwise from top left: Hanging Garden planter globe, $360ย | Reece AXA H10 above counter basin, $573ย | Malmo pendant lights in natural wood, various sizes from $349 | Reece Mizu Drift overhead shower, $200.

Their tilesย are Excellence in Grey Textured from Beaumont Tiles.

Brad and Dale products

I loved the twins’ moody bathroom and outdoor shower. Sophisticated, luxurious and very very stylish. I love a brave, dark bathroom and think this looks particularly expensive. Ooooh, that black bowl basin! Love it!

These jelly moulds are definitely making hanging plants cool!

Yes, you should be looking pleased with yourself, lady!

Alisa Lysandra products

Kyal and Kara were, as the twins said, SMASHED by the judges with some harsh comments. I thought they took it all really well and will no doubt learn from the feedback. I wasn’t a fan of their outdoor water feature but there was a lot right with their bathroom, even if it wasn’t finished in time. I thought the hexagonal tiles and round basin were great, as was the use of timber.

Chantelle and Steve got mixed comments from the judges, who seemed to prefer their bathroom to their outside area, which Neale said didn’t look luxe enough. I loved the exposed brick in the bathroom but wasn’t sure about the furniture choices outside. I’m sure they’ll be changed come auction time!

Which was your favourite bathroom? Do you think Brad and Dale deserved to win or are the twins still the bathroom queens? Or did you prefer one of the fans couples?

I don't regret the extra expense of my bathroom li I don't regret the extra expense of my bathroom lighting for a minute.

Although at the time I may have been a bit "HOW MUCH?" ๐Ÿ˜‚

Thrilled to have our bathroom shared in an article about lighting on @bhgaus where I talk about 2 things we chose in particular.

Firstly the LED light in the bath niche which is the PERFECT relaxing bathing light (and you know I have one every single night!).

Second, (swipe) a sensor light under the vanity which makes it easy for the kids and visitors who aren't familiar with the light switches, to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night with ease! 

Do you have either of these things in your bathroom or would you consider them?

Brothers Jack and Mark Fearon, of Australian desig Brothers Jack and Mark Fearon, of Australian design and fabrication company, @__fearon__ first started their business in 2019 as a creative outlet and antidote to their more commercial work.

Their pathway to design was somewhat unusual. Jack, a plumber by trade and Mark, a boilermaker, worked as industrial fabricators making large-scale water trucks.

Jack says heโ€™s conscious of making pieces that are sculptural, but also very usable. โ€œWe donโ€™t think our pieces are there just to look good,โ€ Jack says. โ€œWe love seeing our pieces in peopleโ€™s homes and in galleries, restaurants and hotels, with things all over them. Theyโ€™re for real life.โ€

FEARONโ€™s handmade pieces are aluminium and designed for longevity. Jack says the material choice means pieces are lightweight, easy to sculpt and entirely recyclable.

Although the move to a container home was motivated by financial pressures, Justine Wilson is loving her new simpler way of life.

Appliance colour trends: They've certainly change Appliance colour trends:

They've certainly changed over the years. Remember when ALL fridges were white?! I remember the original BROWN wall oven in our 60s kitchen here pre-reno! I think the dishwasher was brown and beige (and it tripped the electrics every time we used it!) ๐Ÿ˜œ

What do you think of this new dark stainless steel option (pictured) from Westinghouse as seen in @dnaofdesign_'s latest reno? Yay or nay? 

What colour do you like your appliances?

A door to door continuous curved stone ledge in th A door to door continuous curved stone ledge in this bathroom is one of the cleverest designs we've seen in a while!

This mega ledge, made of Corian, even incorporates a sink, seamlessly.

Combined with venetian plaster on the walls, it's no wonder this Illawarra bathroom by @birdblackdesign feels like a day spa!

Come check it out via link bio.

Lead designer Stuart Gibson says: "One smooth curve, right around the room, from either side of the door opening. As it moves around, it creates a ledge for the bath: for bath oils, lotions, a book and a champagne glass. The ledge continues around and becomes the vanity, widening out to create a custom seamless basin."

    As much as I loved Brad and Dale’s, I’d rather have a decent laundry space than a large bathroom for every bedroom.
    Energy ratings are out the window this year with only one team putting drying space on their drying terrace.
