Before and After – Alcove Bathroom Renovations
May 30, 2018

Alcove bathroom renovations are exactly as they sound, they all have a shower space that has three walls and one screen with a pivot door that is located at the front of the alcove.

This bathroom layout is often really when the original building of the home needed space in the laundry or a linen cupboard so they make the bathroom smaller width-wise and stick in this shower alcove.

This before-and-after series is to highlight the many types of bathroom layouts and helps with ideas on what your new bathroom can become.

TWO TYPES of alcove showers are the wall to wall screen and the newer concept of small fixed panels

Bathroom Renovation Ascot

I love the touch of color but it is not for everyone. The owner of this Ascot renovation went back and forth on the blue feature wall but I think the decision on the plain white tiles gives the vanity and floor a real pop

  • Frameless shower screens are amazing to look at but don’t always offer the best protection against retaining water which is important to always remember. Yes, that is a Forrest in the window. It is a custom-made window that has an image imprinted into the window and backlit

This renovation was a little unique as the room had a tremendous waste of space where he hallway goes from door behind this image below. The owner still manages to fit a freestanding bath, toilet and vanity in the same spacing through great planning and a lot of hard work.

Churchlands Bathroom Renovation

For this Alcove bathroom renovation, the client did not want a light-up mirror which is what we suggest for the best face lighting you can get unless you have space for the right-side wall lights.

Bathroom Renovation Willetton

Try to never let items you can change dictate your bathroom renovation experience. Often clients will get caught up trying to match a wood frame or a ceiling fixture. If you really do not want to have to have beige or brown because the frames are brown then just paint them it will make your life so much easier trust me.

Extra Info

  • Tiling floor to ceiling in the same time can make a room feel large as there is no break between the floor and walls.
