The Transformation Story
A focused renovation of the bathroom and laundry in a Hurstville apartment. These two wet areas were dated and poorly configured, with inadequate storage and tired finishes. The goal was to transform both into modern, functional spaces with quality fixtures and maximum storage.
The Brief
This Hurstville apartment renovation focused on the two most demanding spaces in any home: the bathroom and laundry. Both rooms were tired, outdated, and not making the most of their footprint. The brief was clear - create bright, functional wet areas with quality finishes that would last. We weren't doing a full apartment overhaul here. The owners wanted to put their budget where it counted - proper waterproofing, quality fixtures, and smart storage solutions. Sometimes the best renovation is a focused one.
Bathroom Transformation
The bathroom was stripped back to studs. Old tiles, waterproofing, the lot - all removed. This gave us a clean slate to work with and ensured we could install proper waterproofing to Australian Standards (AS 3740). No shortcuts.
We installed a shower over bath combination with a frameless glass screen - practical for the space and visually clean. The LED mirror cabinet was a smart choice: it provides excellent task lighting for daily routines while adding storage where it's most useful. The floating vanity and wall-hung toilet make the room easier to clean and create the illusion of more floor space.
Large-format tiles were laid throughout, reducing grout lines and giving the room a more seamless finish. Quality chrome tapware ties everything together without being flashy.

Laundry Fit-Out
The laundry often gets neglected in apartment renovations, but it's a room you use every day. We designed custom cabinetry to maximise the compact space - floor-to-ceiling storage means nothing is wasted.
The dedicated laundry sink with tiled splashback creates a proper workspace for hand-washing or soaking. A storage unit provides additional organisation without cluttering the room. Every inch was planned to make the space as functional as possible.
The same tile quality and attention to detail from the bathroom continues into the laundry. Consistent finishes create a cohesive feel, and proper waterproofing means both wet areas are built to last.

Quality Where It Counts
This project demonstrates that a focused renovation can deliver outstanding results. By concentrating the budget on two key spaces, we were able to use quality materials and proper construction methods throughout. The fundamentals are right: waterproofing done to standard, tiles laid properly, fixtures that will last. The LED mirror cabinet, floating fixtures, and custom cabinetry add functionality without unnecessary expense. It's the kind of practical, well-executed renovation that makes daily life better. Two rooms. Eight weeks. A complete transformation that the owners will enjoy for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions about Hurstville Renovations
Why install an LED mirror cabinet instead of a standard mirror?
LED mirror cabinets serve three functions in one fixture: task lighting for grooming, ambient lighting for atmosphere, and concealed storage for toiletries. In compact bathrooms, this integration saves wall space that would otherwise be needed for separate light fixtures and a medicine cabinet. The back-lit effect also makes the room feel larger by bouncing light off the wall.
