Charcoal & Timber Bathroom Renovation

This Gold Coast bathroom renovation is a showcase of our capabilities. It involved a wall removal, an integrated dual renovation (main & ensuite bathroom), a high-contrast solution (charcoal tiles & light timber vanity) and a variety of other interesting features. It was a satisfying project to work on and complete. Before we look at the project in greater detail, don’t forget, if you are interested in discussing a renovation for your bathroom, please contact our team for a free quote:

Renovation Overview

This renovation involved the removal a wall (in the main bathroom) to open the room up for a more spacious, modern feel. Changing the layout of your rooms is always a possibility. We can discuss the pros, cons and implications of these types of changes with you to help guide you toward a suitable resolution for your renovation. Here are a couple of ‘before’ pictures to show what the bathroom looked like before we got started.

Colour Scheme

High-Contrast Colour Scheme

This bathroom is leveraged aesthetically by contrast. This contrast is created by a combination of 2 light and 2 dark colours:

Light Colours:

  1. Light timber (vanity cabinet)
  2. White (basins & bathtubs)

Dark Colours

  1. Charcoal – the dominant colour (tiles)
  2. Black (highlights such as the tapware, trims, controls, etc)

It’s not complicated, and the outcome is very satisfactory. It’s also a concept that can be duplicated, and adjusted, to achieve a similar result with different nuances.

Multiple Room Renovations

Ensuite
Main Bathroom

Our projects often involve a renovation of more than one room. Undertaking a multi-room renovation like this one (main bathroom and ensuite) is all in a day’s work for the Armrock Constructions team. What we’ve achieved here is two rooms that are related, without being exactly identical. This creates a sense of nuanced relatedness.

They have a distinctive look and feel that makes it clearly obvious they are part of a broader renovation vision, without being exactly the same.

Charcoal Porcelain Tiles

The main feature of this renovation is the tiles. We’ve used 600x600mm charcoal porcelain tiles for a great result. These tiles form the background for the whole bathroom, and feature lovely random marble-like swirls that create an engaging albeit neutral background.

Circular Mirrors

Circular Mirrors – A Winning Result

Circular mirrors are featured in quite a few of our Gold Coast renovation projects. Their round shape serves a couple of important purposes. It creates a strong focus on the person using the mirror – like a picture in a frame – that isn’t realised with a larger rectangular mirror. Also, circular mirrors are a useful bridging device in bathroom aesthetics. Because the elements in the bathroom are different shapes, sizes and colours, a judiciously placed circular mirror is an effective way of helping to link them all together!

Tiled Niches

Bathtub with Tiled Wall Niche

Tiled niches solve the functional problem of where to put your shampoo and other bathroom items. They also add a degree of depth to the bathroom. In this case, they help to integrate the room by adding a dimensional, horizontal black highlight linking both sides of the room.

Niches for Every Purpose

What’s really cool here is that while the ensuite doesn’t feature any tiled niches, it does utilise a recessed tiled solution (a nib wall) on which items can be stored, that also creates a visual relationship to the tiled niches in the main bathroom. This is the type of non-overt nuance that helps to create a relationship between the two rooms.

Black Trim

Black Trim Holding The Bathroom Together

Black trim is the highlight that holds this picture together. It’s used in a variety of places through the double-room renovation – for example, in the tapware, shower rails, tile inset drain, shower heads, and tiled niches. It makes sense, given that this room’s dominant colour is charcoal (tiles) to use a black trim, since black is the stronger version of the dominant colour. Because the black is used very minimally, it doesn’t overwhelm the rooms, rather, provides a serious of visual cues to inform the layouts and link elements together.

Wall Hung Toilet

Wall Hung Toilet with In-Wall Cistern

The ensuite in this renovation features a wall-hung toilet, with in-wall cistern. This is a great approach for an ensuite and is an effective and concise incorporation. The ability to determine if choices like this are relevant in your bathroom renovation can be clarified by our team – we know what will work, and can help guide you to the best outcome for your project.

Keith Munday

Very pleased with a very professional job completed by Roland and his team. Roland never failed to turn up when expected or respond to a message if he was unable to take a call. He was also helpful and patient while we changed our minds repeatedly about what we wanted. We’re getting him back to do the kids bathroom!

 

Geoff Haigh

Excellent workmanship. Professional, on time. Easy to deal with.

Lucy Fisher

Great communication, good attention to detail. We were so impressed. Our new ensuite looks amazing!

 

Joel Boniwell

The moment I contacted the owner Roland I was at ease with proceeding with this company. Not only does he come across as a genuine person, he is punctual and sticks to his word. He had everything organised and the renovation of my en-suite went exactly as planned and the quote was spot on. The tradesman he organised for the job are all extremely punctual and extremely qualified at their specific trades. I can’t give this company a stronger recommendation and will be sure to use Roland and his team for any future renovations. A+ Service in an industry that you will seldom find it in.

Small Reno Testimonial

I don’t often write reviews but felt this time I had too. A huge thank you to Roland from Armrock constructions. From the first time I contacted Roland he could not have been more helpful and professional. Roland was on time, got the job done and left my home clean and tidy. Please if your wanting a small spruce up or a full reno done these are the people to call. Thanks once again Armrock.

Shayna Kivlins

We had the pleasure of dealing with Roland and his team. They are professional courteous clean and most importantly excellent communicators during the process. Their workmanship and pride in achieving an excellent result is a breath of fresh air when dealing with trades people. I highly recommend them.

Cameron

Roland from Armrock constructions has completed a few projects for our company and is always a pleasure to deal with. Always reliable, not like some tradies we have chosen in the past. Quality is something Roland strives for and it shows in his work. Would recommend to anyone.

 

Andrew Watkins

Roland and his team were very professional and affordable. We had two bathrooms and a laundry renovated by Armrock Constructions and we couldn’t be happier. Would definitely recommend them.

Graham Robertson

Roland renovated both the Ensuite & main bathroom, removing the walls around separate toilets which increased the overall spaces. The team of guys who did the demolition & construction were really easy to deal with & the finish is excellent. It was no problem for us to request minor changes along the way. We’re really pleased with the outcome & would thoroughly recommend.

Matt Lyons

Attention to detail. Great finish. Highly recommend these guys!

 

Renovation Testimonial

From quote to completion, Armrock was outstanding. We couldn’t be happier. Hassle free and on budget. If you’re after attention to detail you’ve come to the right place. Highly recommended. Thanks again.

 

Reiner Ebenhoch

Armrock Constructions did our powder room first. We were so impressed with their work that we contracted Armrock to do a minor reno to our master bathroom and a major renovation of our guest bath room, which also included the complete rebuilt and conversion of one room into a steam room. Again, Armrock did an excellent job! What sets Roland and his team apart is their customer focus, their uncompromising attitude to quality, integrity and customer satisfaction. We can recommend Roland and his team unconditionally and have so already to many of our friends!

Al Dobie

Roland and his team were fantastic. The work was done on time and of a very high standard. Cheers Roland.

Cameron Grant Ruksenas

Great service from the owner Roland. Nothing was a problem and service and price was reasonable! Will recommend to others.

 

Richard Anyos

Good, friendly, prompt, reliable service with attention to detail.

Mark & Di Branks

Roland delivered an exceptional product. Our Bathroom upgrade was completed on time and to budget. As with most renovations there were a number of unforeseen issues and Rolands ability to offer practical, cost effective solutions was exceptional. A very professional, clean and tidy builder and we have no hesitation in recommending his services.
