A Heartwarming Surprise: Alisa and Lysandra’s Stunning Bathroom Renovation for Mum

Reading time: 5 mins

Alisa and Lysandra, the talented sister duo known for their amazing interior design skills, recently took on a heartfelt project to surprise their mum with a beautiful bathroom renovation while she was away. Let’s dive into their planning process, the emotional reveal, and the standout features that make this upgrade so special.

Crafting the Perfect Surprise: The Planning Process

With several months to work with, Alisa and Lysandra carefully mapped out every detail of the renovation. “We wanted to do something nice and surprise her because she deserves it. She’s had a tough upbringing, raising us as a single mum” said Lysandra, reflecting on their motivation. Their mum’s old bathroom was cramped and uninspiring, dominated by dull brown and beige tones. The sisters aimed to create a timeless space that would serve her well for years to come.

“We wanted to go for timeless inclusions. Nothing that we’ll have to renovate again soon,” Alisa pointed out, highlighting their goal of creating a design that would last. They chose classic subway tiles, a simple white colour palette, and minimalist floor tiles, complemented by a striking feature tile in the shower area tied together perfectly with beautiful brushed brass tapware and accessories.

The Big Reveal

The day of the reveal was filled with excitement and nerves. “We were getting so nervous picking Mum up from the airport,” Lysandra admitted, eagerly anticipating her reaction to the transformed space. By combining the separate toilet with the bathroom, they created a more open and functional area. “The biggest thing we wanted was to make one big space that felt more open,” noted Lysandra.

Three Standout Features

Alisa and Lysandra focused on both form and function in the new bathroom. Here are three key features we love about this bathroom, that make this renovation the perfect upgrade for their mum:

  1. A Spacious layout: By bringing the toilet into the bathroom, the sisters opened the space. “It feels way more open,” Alisa states, highlighting how much more comfortable the new design is. Maximise your reno space with our 3D planner tool, Imagin3D which allows you to work through different layout opportunities within your room dimensions.
  1. A Luxurious bath area: The inset bath features a full-width ledge running through the bath and shower, providing space to store their Mum’s products. This setup not only enhances functionality but also creates a peaceful spot for relaxation.
  1. Timeless fixtures: The sisters selected quality pieces, like the Mizu Drift Twin Rail Shower and the Kado Lux Rimless Toilet. The twin rail shower offers a fabulous day-spa experience with the flexibility to enjoy overhead or hand-held water output, while the rimless toilet is a breeze to clean and fits seamlessly into the room. “As soon as we saw this amazing new brushed brass finish from the Mizu Drift collection, we knew it was perfect for the space!” Alisa exclaimed.

This renovation was more than just an aesthetic upgrade; it was about creating a beautiful and functional space for their mum. “We think we picked the right materials and layout to last them for the rest of her life,” Alisa reflected.

Alisa and Lysandra’s renovation project shows how thoughtful design can transform a space and impact lives in a meaningful way.
