At Rise Property Solutions Melbourne (RPSM), we understand that a bathroom renovation doesn’t always need a complete overhaul to achieve a fresh, modern look—sometimes a cost-effective approach can deliver impressive results. For this bathroom renewal in Port Melbourne, the homeowner wanted to update their dated bathroom while keeping costs down by retaining some existing elements. The original bathroom featured white subway tiles on the walls, a standard bathtub with a shower, a basic toilet, a single vanity, and cream floor tiles that felt outdated. The space also had a cluttered feel with towels and mats scattered around.
We took a strategic approach to refresh the space while preserving elements that were still functional. The white subway tiles on the walls were retained but thoroughly cleaned and re-grouted to restore their brightness. The bathtub and shower combo, along with its glass enclosure, were kept but upgraded with a new, modern showerhead and fixtures for improved functionality and style. The existing toilet was also retained but cleaned and fitted with a new seat for a polished look. We replaced the outdated cream floor tiles with large-format, light grey tiles to create a modern, cohesive look that complements the white walls while being easy to maintain. The single vanity was upgraded to a sleek, white vanity with minimalist handles, providing better storage and a contemporary aesthetic, while keeping the existing countertop to save on costs. The large mirror above the vanity was retained but paired with new, energy-efficient lighting to brighten the space. Finally, we decluttered the area by organizing the towels and removing unnecessary items, adding a streamlined towel rack to keep the space tidy.
