Shop their looks: the first Block bathroom reveals

By Jen Bishop •

FacebookPinWhatsAppEmailTweet

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.

Get Brad & Dale’s look

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

Their tiles 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!

Alisa & Lysandra’s bathroom

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.

Kyal and Kara products The Block

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!

This Targa pendant light from Beacon Lighting is a steal at under $60.

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?

@smartstoneaustralia's stunning Calacatta Viola sintered stone surface features throughout, making a bold statement while being durable enough to be used in the busiest areas.

Inspired by Puglia, Pino's (named after the owner's father) in Cronulla has a real seaside vibe. The Smartstone was also chosen for the outdoor tables due to its UV stability.

SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jas SPA VIBES was the brief for this bathroom and @jasminemcclellanddesign delivered. And then some!

"With a keen eye for design, they wanted their main bathroom to feel calm, spa-like and elevated with more storage, better layout, and soft, layered textures in a neutral palette. Lighting was another big focus, with the goal of creating a space that felt luxurious enough to unwind in, preferably with a glass of champagne in the bath.”

Is it a yay or a nay for you?

The @thermomix_au TM7 launch in Sydney yesterday w The @thermomix_au TM7 launch in Sydney yesterday was a real treat. Such an exciting and sleek looking upgrade to my favourite kitchen machine!

The new look speaks for itself and, as usual, the engineering is impressive. Here's the biggest changes that stood out to me:

1. It's SO quiet and in fact SILENT up to a certain speed 
2. It has a much bigger 10 inch screen
3. A new insulated, cool to touch bowl (the inner metal bowl detaches to wash)
4. A gorgeous new matte black design with fluted and herringbone details and made of 30% recycled materials 👏🏼 

Enjoyed a beautiful lunch all prepared, naturally, in the Thermomix! Was great to meet @mise_en_place_aus in real life as well as special guest dessert queen @kirstentibballs and catch up with the lovely Thermomix team.

Tag a friend who'll be coveting the TM7! It's available from next week!

    Such a shame the twins have used replica lighting in the bathroom.
    Here is the original Secto Design, Octo pendant from Finland.

    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.
