In this renovation we’ve used marble tiles for an opulent touch. These tiles are great for communicating some visual interest and texture without being overwhelming – they’re a popular option in many of our Gold Coast renovation projects. Note in this image the co-ordination between the tapware and drains in the basin and shower. The brushed copper notes compliment the marble tiles beautifully for an opulent result.
This bathroom is designed to be enjoyed. The large brushed copper shower head creates an immersive showering experience, enjoyed without any confines as this is a screen less solution. Also in this image you can see our discreet custom vanity solution – with its low profile, this unit fulfils the purpose without dominating the room.
This backlit circular mirror provides warm lighting and also lifts this niche and gives it a special feel. Circular mirrors are an option well worth considering, as they add visual interest and soften the room, providing stylistic collaboration with other rounded bathroom elements such as the basin in this case. There are so many other details in this reno that need to be pointed out! Check out the mounted basin, the power-point details, the gradated tiling to inform the low-profile vanity, the brushed copper tapware – beautiful.

This project utilises complete floor and wall marble tiling for a stunning effect – walking into this bathroom is like walking into a 5-Star Resort! This transformative result demonstrates the power of a bathroom to create a special space within a home, and to elevate the value of the home and the lifestyle of inhabitants! Luxurious marble style is just one of many great tiling solutions available with Armrock. Learn more about our tiling options here.
Round mirrors are a popular renovation trend. The advantage of them in this case is the relationship that they create with the mounted basins, and the individualised sense they bring to the bathroom. Two people can use this space at the same time, individually. The circular aspect resonates with other bathroom curves, and without hard lines allows a sense of elevation to be established as if the mirrors were rising up like twin suns or moons. Learn more about fixtures and fittings for bathrooms here, or learn about our top ten renovation trends for the Gold Coast here.
Mounted basins are a popular style and it’s easy to see why. This is a deliberately designed effect referencing old-world style when washing was done with a portable basin. Old-world style in modern bathrooms creates a delightful juxtaposition. The appearance of mounted basins in the context of this customised vanity unity is a compelling result, with the gloss white and timber a happy marriage between elements designed to be together. Learn more about working with gloss white in your renovation project here.
When designing your dream bathroom, a primary consideration is the flow of the room. How do the different elements connect with each other for a harmonious presentation? Often with bathrooms this is particularly challenging since many of the fixtures and fittings are of different shapes, sizes and dispositions. In the case of this project, the flow of the room is created by combination of relationships and guidelines. The free-standing bath is anchored by the double towel-rails, ensuring its position is locked in the room. The gridlines created by the tiles help to hold the entire design together, with the strong horizontal lines of the vanity unit and towel rails working in partnership with the curved edges of the mirrors and bathtub to create a spacious flow that’s easy to use and understand.
These ceiling-mounted rain shower heads do away with a whole lot of visible plumbing, a general norm for most bathrooms. This discrete solution does nothing to take away from the pleasure of a shower in this space, with room for two and modular control under the illuminated tile niche. Armrock renovations are builder-led, so we can discuss all of the options in your project and help you determine the best one for your renovation, and then deploy the trade team to make it happen. Interested in showers? There’s more information about them here.
Tiled bathroom niches are hot property and with Armrock tilers on the job, you can expect a fantastic result. This niche features a stainless-steel trim and LED illumination – it’s a great way to add detail to your bathroom, especially within the shower area, working within the established aesthetics of your project. Learn more about tiled bathroom niches here.
How do you relate three objects of different sizes, colours and dispositions? Armrock’s renovation team is highly skilled at getting a great result on our bathroom renovation projects. In the case of this reno, relationships between the fixtures are created by colour (gloss-white), proximity (how they are spaced relative to each other, and relative to the room) line (shared horizontal lines connect the fixtures) and shape (curved edges between the cistern, bathtub and vanity basins).

On a final note, what makes this bathroom a real winner is the combination of large-scale and small-scale detail. Whether appraised from up-close or afar, this bathroom is a standout success; the sum of the parts is as compelling as any individual parts themselves.

As you can see here, before the renovation took place, the bathroom was looking somewhat tired and ready for a makeover. Take note of the location of the vanity, shower and cistern. In this renovation, we didn’t relocate of these features – simply upgraded everything into a new, fresh bathroom. Working in this way alleviates the need to modify plumbing which helps to reduce the renovation budget.
With strong grid-line created by the blue tiles, the new bathroom exists effortlessly between elements including a custom vanity unity, circular mirror, rain-shower head and general sense of luxurious embrace.
This semi-frameless shower solution has room to move – literally and figuratively. The omission of the frame on the door-close point creates a limitless sensibility to this shower. Features within such as the brass rain shower head and brass drain remind participants that they’re showering somewhere special.
Working with laminates, Armrock Constructions is producing awesome custom vanities for our bathroom renovations. You can learn more about them here. In this unit, we’ve allowed the brass / brushed copper style to highlight through the whole unit from the raised tapware down through the discrete handles. The wood finish with the plain benchtop is a popular style and can be used in either order (wood finish benchtop, plain vanity if you did it the other way around).
In bathrooms, the details are what makes the renovation great. This brushed copper style that connects the tapware and drain, and the entire bathroom, contrasts nicely with the serious blue tiles to create an informed result. The gentle curves in this basin do well to offset the otherwise exact geometry of this bathroom, enhancing the textural visuals of the room.
Rain shower heads are a popular inclusion that in addition to making the shower experience more immersive, also add visual value to the bathroom design. Armrock Constructions can help you with the design of your bathroom – even if you’re just got a few ideas to start with, our team can help you put the project together.
This tiled niche is a great effect and with the strong grout-lines in this bathroom creates a visual impression to remember. Tiled niches are popular – learn more about them here.
The tapware in this renovation is matched up with the showerhead, rails, vanity tapware, drains, and handles to provide continuity throughout the entire room.
Again demonstrating the importance of detail – even the drain is matched to suit the rest of the room. Top-end aesthetics abound here, even down to features such as the towel-rail and toilet paper dispenser.

Could concrete-look tiles be the solution for your Gold Coast bathroom renovation? This is a popular style and can bring interest and value to your design in part or whole. In this article we’ll explore some practical applications of concrete-look tile style for bathrooms, with examples from recent Armrock bathroom renovations. Book a free appraisal and quote with our team for your renovation, or read on to learn more about using concrete-look tiles in your renovation.
Tiles come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, colours and designs. Since tiling is included in practically all bathroom renovation projects, the style of the tiles you select can make a big difference to the finished result. Concrete-look tiles are tiles that simulate the look of concrete. In combination with the discrete selection of other bathroom elements, concrete-look tiles can help create a range of different looks.
From the design point of view, concrete-look tiles add texture and tone that, generally speaking, creates a more interesting variety of contrasts and aesthetics than plain surfaces. Using concrete-look in design is an industrial style, so-called because they showcase structural & functional elements that were previously hidden out of sight. You can read more about industrial design on decoist.com. Using concrete elements in your design is one way to access this style, and it’s special because of it’s unique design strength, disposition and texture.
There are quite a few advantages when you consider working with concrete-look tiles. Here is a summary of the ones we think are most helpful:
Like any tiling work in a bathroom renovation, concrete-look tiles can be added in part or whole – meaning you can make them a feature or use them to define the bathroom on a broader scale.
Successful bathrooms are achieved by the combination of elements that work together, and that relate to each other in the right way. A sincere advantage of working with the concrete aesthetic comes from its natural grey tones – grey is a fantastic bridging colour between other common bathroom colours such as gloss-white and silver, and thus easily fits into any bathroom renovation situation.
Concrete come in a wide range of finishes, and the same is true of concrete-look tiles. With the ability to adapt the colour temperature of your tiles to suit your needs, the presence and sense of warmth, or cool in your bathroom can be affected by the tiles you choose.
Maybe most importantly – unlike white, concrete greys are easy to keep clean and disguise dirt and grime. Naturally, this wouldn’t be a feature of much interest to the average Australian homeowner – after all, who doesn’t love cleaning the bathroom!
A successful concrete-look bathroom includes a juxtaposition of styles. Used exclusively, the concrete look can be overbearing, but when combined judiciously with timbers, glosses, metallics such as silver, and plants or natural accessories, a rich experience is revealed.

When you’re purchasing products for your new kitchen or bathroom, it’s definitely worth paying attention to their water efficiency ratings. These ratings indicate how ‘thirsty’ the products are. Choosing better-rated products can help you save water, and money, from the moment the water starts flowing. Whether you’re updating your shower heads or appliances like washing machines and dishwashers, read on to learn more. This information is brought to you by the Gold Coast’s leading bathroom renovation company, Armrock Constructions.

In Australia, The Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS) scheme uses a rating system to help you make informed choices about the water efficiency of products you buy in a store or online. On this page we’ll take a look at this system for insight into choices for kitchen and bathroom renovations.
The Wels Scheme is a government initiative which you can learn about at waterrating.gov.au. Here, bathroom products are registered and their ratings determined with testing. At the time of writing this article, 39,517 products have been registered! The labels are then displayed on the products instore and look like this sample from waterrating.gov.au:
The main parts of the label include:
This shows the water efficiency of the product and helps to easily compare products when you’re instore. More stars is good! Less stars may indicate the product is going to be thirstier.. using more water to get the same result.
The middle section of the label shows the amount of water used by the product. This is particularly useful because it shows how much water the products actually use to get the job done. There are different values for different products. The relevant ones for kitchen and bathroom renovations are:
You can read more about this on www.waterrating.gov.au.
Finally, you can read about the product, the manufacturer and the standards that guide how the product was tested.
According to www.energy.gov.au, by using more water-efficient products, Australians could save $2 Billion by 2030, an average saving of $175 per household per year.
The biggest water-users in the home are washing machines, showers, taps and toilets. [SRC: www.energy.gov.au]
The following statistics come from www.waterrating.gov.au and illustrate the savings that can be made in water and money across common bathroom and kitchen fixtures.
Flow rates for showers will be expressed on the water rating label in litres per minute (L/min).
Every 1L/min difference will save a typical family of four nearly 12,000 litres (12kL) of water and $35 each year. For this family of four, replacing their shower that flows at 15L/min with a new:
Depending on energy costs, they may save an equivalent amount (or more) each year on energy bills because less water will be heated for showers. Assumptions: each family member showers for 8 minutes per day, at an average water price of $2.99/kL (the national average price reported in the 2014–15 Australian Bureau of Statistics Water Account).
Flow rates for taps will be expressed on the water rating label in litres per minute (L/min).
Every 1L/min difference can save a household nearly 2,000 litres (2kL) of water and $5.50 each year.
Replacing an old inefficient tap with a flow rate of 15L/min with a new:
Depending on energy costs, they may save an equivalent amount (or more) each year on energy bills because less water will be heated.
Assumptions: tap runs for 5 minutes total per day, for tasks including handwashing, tooth brushing, rinsing dishes, rinsing fruit or vegetables, at an average water price of $2.99/kL (the national average price reported in the 2014–15 Australian Bureau of Statistics Water Account). Time the tap is running to fill a basin is not included.
For toilets, the water rating label will tell you how much water is used in an average flush.
Every litre less water that a toilet uses in an average flush, will save a typical family of four nearly 6kL and $17.50 each year in water supply charges.
If this family replaces an old single-flush toilet with a flush volume of 12L with a new 4-star toilet with an average flush volume of 3.5L, this will save 50kL and $148 each year on their water bills.
Assumptions: each family member flushes 4 times per day, at an average water price of $2.99/kL (the national average price reported in the 2014–15 Australian Bureau of Statistics Water Account).
The water rating label will tell you how much water is used per load, and what cycle was used for the tests (‘normal’, ‘eco’).
For a family that runs one load of washing per day, reducing water use by 10L per load will save 3.7kL and $11 each year.
Choosing a 6kg load capacity washing machine with a 6-star rating that uses 30L per load instead of a 3-star machine using 80L per load will save this family 18kL and $54 each year.
Assumptions: figures are based on average water price of $2.99/kL (the national average price reported in the 2014–15 Australian Bureau of Statistics Water Account).
The water rating label will tell you how much water is used per load, and what cycle was used for the tests (‘normal’, ‘eco’).
For a family that runs one load of dishes per day, reducing water use by 10L per wash will save 3.7kL and $11 each year.
For a dishwasher that holds 14 place settings, choosing a 6-star machine that uses 9.5L per wash instead of a 2-star machine using 19L per wash will save this family 3.5kL and $20 each year.
Assumptions: figures are based on average water price of $2.99/kL (the national average price reported in the 2014–15 Australian Bureau of Statistics Water Account).
