As you can see, this bathroom and laundry are ready for an update. Changing these rooms up will make a big difference to the feel of the entire home. Living on the Gold Coast is all about lifestyle, so let’s take a look at the updates we made in this project.

More Information:

  • Reconfiguring your bathroom

Updated Laundry

Upgraded Laundry

This laundry is a whole new world! A high-end impression is established by timber-look laminate custom cabinetry. Timber tones are a popular addition to many of our projects. They create a natural vibe, which lightens the whole room and create a welcoming feeling as well. The cabinetry are anchored by updated flooring and half-wall tiling. Note the matte-black tapware, which is a feature throughout this Gold Coast home.

Shower Renovation

Semi-Frameless Shower

A semi-frameless shower enables the shower to occupy minimal visual space, allowing it’s visible features (matte-black tapware, showerhead and frame) to create an architectural impression, and develop relationships with other accessories such as the towel rails. As you can see in the shower, there is a tiled niche – a popular inclusion for many of our Gold Coast bathroom projects.

Shower & Bathtub

In addition to the bathtub, this picture gives a good overall impression of the bathroom and the matte black features. There’s a high degree of contrast, but it’s not overdone, creating a lively and dynamic impression for this Gold Coast property.

Custom Vanity Unit

Custom Timber-Look Laminate Vanity

A custom vanity unit is a great way to optimise your bathroom. Regardless of the space you’re working with, a custom vanity enables you to make the most of opportunities. In this case, the vanity is neatly tucked in between the tub and doorway – nice and neat. Apologies, the renovation wasn’t 100% finished in this picture!

Toilet Renovation

Toilet Upgrade

Finally, here is a photography of the complete renovation – a little bit tricky to achieve across three rooms, but you get the idea. In the toilet, the reno themes continue (matte black features, floor & wall tiling) creating another member of a family of rooms.

Herringbone Tile Bathroom Renovation

This stunning bathroom renovation was completed by our team on the Gold Coast QLD. It’s characteristic signature is the the herringbone tile arrangement with backlit LED circular mirrors. On this page we dive into the details and explore the pre-renovation situation and the solutions we arrived at together with our clients. If you’re interested in a bathroom reno on the Gold Coast, don’t hesitate to contact our team. Otherwise, read on to learn more about this beautiful renovation.

Pre-Renovation Situation

Pre-Renovation Vanity
Pre-Renovation Shower

This pre-renovation situation is a testament to the wonders of 1970’s design… once cutting edge, but no longer! Pink tones, radical speckled benchtop, solid silver fixtures, thick white frames, contrasted grout lines, square angles, it is time to go! Our team does have the capability to redesign layouts, but in this case we kept the original layout, including the bathroom location. Read on to learn about the way we upgraded this bathroom.

More Information:

  • Reconfiguring your bathroom

New Bathroom Colour Scheme

Lilac & Blonde Timber – A Winning Recipe

This bathroom is characterised by the relationship established between the lilac herringbone feature tiles & light timber-laminate custom vanity unit. The overall impression is fresh, light, and welcoming, especially when backlit by the LEDs which are neatly tucked away behind the circular mirrors. Nice!

More Information:

  • Using colour to create a holistic bathroom renovation

Herringbone Tiles

45 Degree Zig-Zag = Herringbone – Like a Fish Skeleton

The herringbone tiles used in the feature wall of this Gold Coast bathroom create a striking, but not overwhelming, effect. They’re called ‘herringbone’ because their pattern resembles the bones of a fish. Can you see this effect? At a 45 degree angle, the pattern is a zig-zag effect that can add visual interest and texture to a space.

Utilising Angles For Success

Herringbone tiles come in a variety of materials, sizes, and colors, allowing them to be used in a wide range of design styles. They can be used for both flooring and wall applications, and can be installed in both traditional and modern spaces.

Custom Vanity Unit

A beautiful bathroom needs a beautiful vanity unit. A fantastic advantage of working with Armrock Constructions is our ability to put all the pieces together for you. This double vanity unit features timber melamine, and a 20mm stone benchtop. What a great result! This combination of light timber-look laminate and stone is a winning combination in bathrooms with roots going back to nature. Evocative of raw materials and european design sensibilities, this is a look that will last forever.

Double Round Bathroom Mirrors

An Enduring Gold Coast Trend

Round bathroom mirrors continue to be a popular feature of many of our Gold Coast bathroom projects. In addition to their functional role, they soften and add dimension to the bathroom, and also enjoy a harmony with other rounded elements in the room such as the basins and bathtub.

More Information:

  • Gold Coast Bathroom Trends
  • Round mirrors in bathroom design

Shower Solution

Note Shower’s Asymmetrical Disposition

The main thing with this frameless shower screen is its minimal visual footprint. It’s tucked away very nicely and neatly, and with diligent construction by our team and a triangular dimension, it is just as sturdy and robust as it looks in the photo. Note that we have also utilised a tiled niche for shampoos.

More Information:

  • The design advantages of a built-in shower
  • Shower solutions with Armrock Constructions

Mounted Basins

Mounted basins are a popular modern bathroom inclusion. In this renovation, the double basins have a relationship with the double circular mirrors which provides a sense of stability and balance to this aspect of the room, despite the angular nature of the original layout.

Mounted Basins – A Vintage Touch

Bathtub

It’s so simple and elegant, this bath is almost understated. Like the shower, it enjoys a solid sense of integration and confidence in the room. We’ve mirrored the dynamic of the vanity & featuring tiling here with a backlit LED tiled niche. Wow! This is a bath that is really ready to be enjoyed.

Is this bathtub From the Future?

Silver Highlights

Silver is the most popular bathroom highlight colour.

Most bathrooms have a highlight colour. This bathroom uses silver. You can see it in the tapware and towel rails, shower hinges and drains. The type of highlight colour used has a profound impact on the overall sense of bathroom style. Silver is a popular colour which also goes hand in hand with bathrooms and is essentially guaranteed to be successful. It is the most popular bathroom metallic highlight.

Timber-Look Melamine Laminate Solution

It looks like timber, it feels like timber, but it’s melamine. Melamine is a type of laminate which is one of many options for bathroom style. Visually, it can’t really be discerned from timber, and features the patterns, colours and textures of raw blonde wood. We use laminates for many of our bathroom vanity units, and they enable us to capture the look and feel of natural materials calibrated to your specific design requirements.

Bathroom Blinds

Blinds are an important detail in any bathroom renovation.

Seen here in the reflection of the circular mirrors, a white venetian blind has be utilised as the privacy solution in this bathroom. Making the right choice for blinds in your bathroom is always an important choice. In this case, the segmented venetians create a sense of horizontal movement in the room which helps to inform the flow of the room.

Timber Laminates in Bathroom Renovation

At Armrock Constructions, we specialise in bathroom renovations on the Gold Coast QLD. A feature of many of our renovations is the addition of a beautiful custom-made vanity unit; the centerpiece of any bathroom project. Bespoke vanity style is often achieved nowadays by utilising timber-look laminates for either the vanity benchtop, cabinet, or the entire vanity unit. The results are so effective that we wanted to showcase some of their uses and share information about their applications to demonstrate how they can be used to enhance your bathroom renovation project.

What are Timber-Look Laminates?

Timber-look laminates are basically materials that are designed to look like natural timber. They’re called laminates because they are created through the process of lamination, which just means that they are constructed with multiple layers that are compressed together. If you’re really interested, you can learn more about the process on Wikipedia. The important thing to know about laminates is that they are hard-wearing, great-looking and perfectly suited to making beautiful bathroom vanities!

Timber-Look Laminates in Bathroom Renovations

In a bathroom renovation, timber-look laminates are most commonly used in the vanity unit. They’re a great asset to bring design concepts into reality. With the wide range of options and styles available, our team can help with the design, construction, and installation of your custom vanity unit. A wide range of effects can be created, producing bathrooms that are variously natural, industrial, juxtaposed, integrated. Following are examples from our recent Gold Coast renovation projects where you can learn more about how we created these effects using timber-look laminates.

The Advantages of Laminates in Bathrooms

The advantages of using a laminated product are best understood in comparison to using other materials for the same purpose. Actual timber is expensive and may be limited in the type and options that are available. Timber-look laminates, meanwhile, are available in a wide range of purpose-designed styles. They’re made for bathrooms! Their advantages include:

  1. Hard-wearing
  2. Wide range of styles
  3. Cost-effective
  4. Accessible
  5. Versatile
  6. Corners can be rounded
  7. Textural (some laminates have texture, just like the real thing)
  8. Strong
  9. Water Resistant

Timber laminates can be used to achieve virtually any look you can imagine. No wonder we love working with them so much! In this project illustrated below, you can see how the vanity cabinet and benchtop have been finished with stylish curves, creating continuity with the round mirror and curved bathtub. With a skilful team and a quality product, it’s amazing what can be achieved.

Timber-Look Laminates in Vanity Units

Timber-look laminates are commonly used in our projects to enhance custom vanity units. They can be used for the benchtop, cabinet, or both. The approach depends on the goal of the vanity unit and its intention in the bathroom. The presence of timber elevates the bathroom and helps to connect it with the outside world. Tonally, lighter or darker shades of timber can be used to create contrast in the bathroom, or with the vanity unit itself. Between our carpenters and the design goals, you can capitalise on possibilities such as rounded corners to give your vanity a winning and individual look. In the following image, you can see how the rich, warm timber-tones anchor and connect the greater bathroom elements for a juxtaposed, modern style.

The best thing about laminates is the way they have evolved. Laminates have been around for a long time, and they have come a long way. Whether you’re doing a budget renovation or a high-end renovation, laminates are an option to consider. The wide range of styles and excellent engineering available, in conjunction with their competitive price-point, make laminates an essential consideration in any bathroom renovation.

Timber-Look Laminate in Bathroom Flooring

Timber-look laminates are also often used as a solution for bathroom flooring. The attributes that make them a winning solution for vanities also apply to flooring. Due to their larger visual footprint in this role, they have the ability to have a truly transformational outcome on the bathroom design.

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.

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!

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.

Matt Lyons

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

 

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.

Richard Anyos

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

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!
