In Mitch & Mark’s bathrooms, have they used tiles or “wet wall panels” and do you have any advice on these panels?

The thing that confuses me most is the above mount sinks. From what I’ve heard they look great but don’t function well, with a lot of spat out toothpaste and water splashes everywhere.

That was one of my favorite recaps of yours!! Best read with my morning coffee, got me laughing so much, great way to start my day on lockdown day 1254678.
I agree with you on Tanya & Vito’s bathroom, I thought the look was so refreshing. Not a huge fan of the shower tiles…. But aside from that the feel in the bathroom was great. I would love that bathroom.

Thought Kirsty and Jesse’s bathroom was the best. Though totally agree about the brass. Ronnie and Georgia nice but boring. The twins no way outside bathtub and that horrible storage cupboard. M&M way too busy. Loved their first bathroom so don’t know how they got this one so wrong. As for Tanya and Vito I would forever use the other bathroom as I thought that was the worst I’ve ever seen on the block

I’m with you Chris, I thought the bathrooms were all a bit safe. There was nothing from a design point of view that hasn’t been done before.

I’m wondering when the double vanity phase is going? There’s no room on the bench for me to do my makeup. I would personally prefer one basin.

In reply to Glenda Smith. Hey Glenda. Yep I know, I just hate seeing that patch of carpet when you're in the bathroom. It would bug me :)

Chris the carpet at the door of the Twins bathroom is in the walk-in wardrobe. You open a wardrobe door like Narnia & you are “transported” to another room.

Oh Chris, Tanya and Vito`s is horrible.
40 years ago we had similar and bulldozed it, surely this look and colour is not coming back.
As for the black toilet, I bought black loo paper after seeing it on the block years ago and everyone thought it disgusting, wasn`t a hit at all.

I hated the tile in T&V’s bathroom, but then, I am old enough to remember them in all bathrooms in the 80’s and have a violent reaction towards that shiny mustard colour on tiles. It doesn’t help the actual ledge is quite mean which makes it feel like a left over constructional constraint that they just had to dress up. The black toilet is a miss for me as well on a practical cleaning level. They could have made the point with the lamp and the towels.
K&J should change the door as per judges comment and fix the screen to be all the way up, and then the bathroom is AAA.
J&L like the hardware, but so much to hate about the bathtub and the glass doors before them: The opening of the sliding doors, doesn’t align with the corridor created in the bathroom, the frame is hideous and clashing with the rest of the bathroom. I also want to know why the judges and a lot of reno shows don’t discuss how bad it is for the environment to have any external heaters, electric or tank on all levels. The outside aspect as you wrote is just not ok.

I loved Tanya and Vito’s bathroom, those arched shower screens were stunning and I loved that pendant light, what a fab find. But I love the 70’s and styles that aren’t beige.

The two tone basins in Jesse and Kirsty rooms were already saved on my pinterest board for my own reno coming up so a big hands up for that choose. Their bathroom was beautiful, the only thing that I feel let them down (besides the wobbly floor spout) was the shower screen, I would have opted for clear glass screen. I am not a fan though of having to clean a bathtub every time I have a shower – especially behind the bathtub when my coloured hair dye goes flying everything.

Yes Ronnie and Georgia’s was great, safe though.

I always believe in a house not appealing to the masses but stealing the heart of a few so the person becomes emotionally attached to the house, and can’t just find another one around the corner that looks that same. That way, come auction time, they simply have to have the house.

I totally agree with you this week Chris. I think Tanya and Vito’s room was the most daring, I actually loved the tile and the shower screen were bold and exciting but not the loo. I thought Ronnie and Georgia was the most saleable but not groundbreaking in design. I love the boys idea but thought the execution was a bit meh. I think enclose the bath and put in massive skylights to bring “the outside in”and you would conquer spiders the bath, too cold in Melbourne scenario. I wasn’t overwhelmed by the blue bathroom, loved the blue but thought the ideas were a bit too Instagramable(could be a good thing).
Mitch and mark had too many functional errors for my liking.

Kirsty and Jesse’s bathroom was my favourite, loved the blue tiles and vanity. I wasn’t sure about Tanya and Vito’s brown tiles but they do work with the vanity and towels. Agree with you about Mitch and Mark and Ronnie and Georgia’s bathrooms. Love the idea of a courtyard bath, but I’ve been to Melbourne and I’m pretty sure it will get used maybe twice a year.
