MAIN BATHROOM A curved brick wall at the front of the home (designed to hide the front door from the street) makes a shapely statement in
the family bathroom. “The bathroom sits here as it didn’t require a window,” says Heather. Instead, a large skylight invites natural light in, while
an extra section of wall hides the toilet – a practical feature in a large, open wash zone. Overhead storage with mirrored doors was custom-made
by INZ Kitchens and recessed into the wall to maximise space. ‘Craquel’ wall tiles in Grey Gloss from Beaumont Tiles team perfectly with 600mm
x 600mm ‘Kierrastone’ floor tiles in Ash from Color Tile Australia. A ‘Kado Lussi’ freestanding bath from Reece adds extra curves to the space. >

House Rules judge Saul Myers
shares his top tips to make
the most of natural light- If you’re bound by walls, look up
and think about windows in your roof!
Installing ceiling skylights, light wells,
roof windows or sun tunnels will bring
a new sense of depth and volume. - Use large mirrors and floor mirrors
and position them in a place to catch
the natural light and bounce them into
other rooms. They can be disguised
as functional mirrors or wall art
that serves a double purpose. - Consider glass panel doors
(opaque glass is a good option
for privacy) to let in natural
light from adjacent rooms.
