Most Popular Bathroom Renovations in Melbourne (2025)
Every year, a new wave of renovation trends floods Pinterest, Instagram, and design blogs. But what are Melbourne homeowners actually choosing for their bathrooms in 2025?
At Bluestone Build Co., we’ve seen the full range — from bold statements to timeless classics. Here are the most popular bathroom renovations clients are asking for this year, and why they work.
1. Walk-In Showers with Frameless Glass
They make even small bathrooms feel bigger.
Clean lines, no ledges, no bulky frames — just spacious simplicity.
Paired with linear drains and floor-to-ceiling tiles, walk-in showers have become the go-to upgrade for both aesthetic appeal and low maintenance.
2. Wall-Mounted Vanities
Floating vanities aren’t just sleek — they free up floor space and make cleaning easier.
Most Melbourne homeowners are going for:
Natural timber tones
Slim stone tops
Push-to-open drawers
It’s the perfect blend of modern minimalism and functional storage.
3. Brushed Brass or Matte Black Tapware
Chrome is out. Statement tapware is in.
Brushed brass adds warmth and elegance, while matte black brings in a cool, architectural edge.
Both finishes are now considered standard in high-end bathrooms across Melbourne.
4. Large Format Tiles
Whether marble-look porcelain or soft concrete tones, big tiles = fewer grout lines and a more luxurious finish.
We’re seeing them used on both floors and walls, especially in:
600x1200mm
750x1500mm
Even slab-like options for full wall coverage
It’s clean, cohesive, and feels expensive — even if it’s not.
5. Backlit Mirrors and LED Strip Lighting
Lighting is no longer an afterthought.
Homeowners are choosing:
Backlit round or pill-shaped mirrors
LED strips under vanities or along niches
Dimmer switches for mood control
The vibe? Spa-like comfort with smart control.
6. Niche Storage (and Built-In Benches)
Shampoo bottles on the floor are a thing of the past.
Niches — tiled in matching or contrasting styles — are now a must-have.
Some homeowners are also requesting built-in shower benches, perfect for relaxing or shaving.
7. Underfloor Heating
Not just a luxury anymore. More Melbourne renovators are adding underfloor heating for that “hotel bathroom” feel, especially in ensuite projects.
It’s energy efficient, invisible, and makes cold mornings much easier.
8. Warm Neutrals & Earthy Tones
Cool greys are giving way to warmer palettes — think:
Soft taupes
Sandstone
Olive green accents
Brushed clay or terracotta tiling
These tones create a calming, timeless backdrop that still feels fresh.
Why These Features Work
These aren’t just trends — they’re tried-and-tested upgrades that add:
Functionality
Style
Value to your home
