This Auckland family used statement wallpaper, blonde wood accents and a touch of greenery to create a modern, Scandinavian inspired new loo
This Auckland loo got a Scandinavian inspired makeover
Who lives here? A family in Auckland.
What was the space like before? The room was basically the same size but we pushed the handbasin wall further out so it was flush with the door. There was a small cabinet where the mirror is now, which we removed as we keep all the cleaning products in the laundry.
What did you do to make it over? Everything is new except the toilet and mirror. The walls have been relined, we installed new lighting, and the window architrave has been redone (the window is original). We also put in a new basin and added the shelves and wallpaper.
Biggest challenge? Thankfully, we had none.
What do you think of the room now? We absolutely love the space – it has a lovely Scandinavian feel and we’re super happy with the wallpaper.
Budget: $2400 (excludes structural work)
The herringbone wallpaper helps to give the space a chic Scandinavian feel
By moving cleaning products into the laundry they were able to get rid of the cabinet under the mirror and create more space.
The window is original but the window architrave has been redone.
The total budget was $2400 excluding structural work.
Get the look:
Basin and tap from Metrix. Mirror from Douglas & Bec. Ferm Living ‘Herringbone’ wallpaper from Paper Room. Shelves from Citta. Corker pendant light from Max Harper. Trestle Union plant stand from Tessuti. Plant and pot from Indie Home Collective.
