Luxury Bathroom Renovation in Cronulla, Sutherland Shire

Modern Mediterranean Design | Full Structural Renovation | 5-Week Build

As part of a complete home transformation in Cronulla, Fresher Bathrooms reimagined a tired 1960s bathroom into a warm, timeless space built for modern family living. Drawing on Palm Springs and Mediterranean interior design, this main bathroom renovation combines premium natural materials, layered lighting and expert craftsmanship — proof that a bathroom renovation in Cronulla can be both beautiful and built to last.

Project Snapshot

From Two Bedrooms to a Forever Family Home

Purchased as a future forever home, this Cronulla property was transformed from a modest two-bedroom, one bathroom house into a spacious four bedroom, two bathroom family residence. The main bathroom sits at the centre of that transformation, designed to be the heart of the family’s daily routine.

While this page focuses on the main bathroom renovation, the same project also included a bespoke kitchen renovation, a luxury ensuite, a custom laundry and an outdoor entertaining area, all unified by one cohesive material palette and architectural language.

The Brief: Calm, Luxurious and Built to Last

Our clients wanted a bathroom that felt calm, functional and genuinely luxurious ,not just an update, but a space designed around how a growing family actually lives.

Inspired by Palm Springs and Mediterranean interiors, the brief called for:

• Warm, natural materials
• Layered, mood-adjustable lighting
• Soft architectural curves
• Timeless finishes designed to outlast trends

Every decision was made with longevity in mind, so the bathroom feels as relevant today as it will in ten years.

Renovating an Original 1960s Bathroom

The existing bathroom was small, dark and cut off from the rest of the home — hampered by limited storage, ageing waterproofing, poor lighting and an inefficient layout.

Rather than a fixture-and-finish refresh, Fresher Bathrooms carried out a full structural renovation, including:

• Expanding and redesigning the bathroom layout
• Relocating internal walls and the doorway
• Installing a new window for natural light
• Relocating plumbing and completely rewiring electrical services
• Certified waterproofing to current Australian standards
• Premium wall and floor tiling
• Bespoke joinery
• Full plumbing and electrical fit-off

The result: a brighter, more spacious family bathroom that connects seamlessly to the rest of the renovated home.

Designed to Complement the Whole Home

Consistency was central to this renovation. The bathroom shares its material palette, premium finishes and soft architectural detailing with the kitchen, ensuite, laundry and outdoor entertaining areas elsewhere in the home.

Brushed bronze tapware, natural stone, layered lighting and curved design details tie every space together, so the finished home reads as one cohesive renovation, not a series of disconnected rooms.

Materials & Premium Finishes

Every material in this bathroom was chosen to balance beauty, durability and everyday practicality.

Feature wall: A Botticino marble mosaic feature wall sits behind the bath, adding texture and warmth while doubling as a durable, low-maintenance surface in one of the bathroom’s highest splash zones. It’s paired with large-format 600 × 600mm ivory porcelain wall and floor tiles.

Vanity: A custom ADP Glacier floating vanity is topped with a striking 100mm ADP Sakal stone benchtop — a bold, furniture-like architectural statement that anchors the room.

Tapware: Brushed bronze tapware and accessories run throughout, offering a warmer, more characterful alternative to traditional chrome.

Full feature list:

• ADP Glacier floating vanity
• 100mm ADP Sakal stone benchtop
• Recessed arch shaving cabinet
• Botticino marble mosaic feature wall
• 600 × 600mm ivory porcelain wall and floor tiles
• Brushed bronze tapware and accessories
• Frameless curved shower screen with pivot door
• Ceiling-mounted rain shower + handheld shower
• Back-to-wall bath
• Electric underfloor heating
• Designer LED lighting throughout
• Premium plumbing and electrical fit-off

Layered Lighting for Every Time of Day

Lighting was treated as a design feature in its own right, not an afterthought. Instead of a single overhead light, the bathroom uses multiple lighting layers that adapt through the day:

• Concealed ceiling LED strip lighting
• Under-vanity LED lighting
• Decorative stone wall sconces supplied from Temple & Webster
• Increased natural light through the new window

Together, these layers deliver bright task lighting when it’s needed and a relaxing, retreat-like atmosphere in the evening.

Curved Design That Flows Through the Home

The frameless curved shower screen with a pivot door is one of the most distinctive features of this renovation. Rather than introducing hard edges, the curved glass echoes the soft architectural curves repeated throughout the home — visually connecting the bathroom to the kitchen, ensuite and living areas.

Beyond aesthetics, the pivot door also helps contain water within the shower zone while preserving an open, spacious feel.

Everyday Comfort, Elevated

Every element in this bathroom was designed around daily use:

• A ceiling-mounted rain shower and handheld shower offer flexibility for the whole family
• The floating vanity provides generous storage without visually overwhelming the room
• The back-to-wall bath creates a dedicated space to unwind
• Electric underfloor heating delivers gentle warmth beneath the porcelain tiles — especially valued through Sydney’s cooler months

These are the details that are easy to miss in photos but felt every single day.
