The Ashgrove project is a stunning example of how thoughtful design, expert craftsmanship and the right product selections can transform a classic Queensland home into a stylish and functional space. In partnership with Front Porch Properties, The Blue Space collaborated closely with Rachael Turner to curate bathroom and interior elements that respect the home’s character while bringing it beautifully into the modern era.
Project Overview
Nestled in the leafy suburb of Ashgrove, this renovation led by Front Porch Properties was driven by a desire to elevate an existing bathroom (and potentially adjoining spaces) into a cohesive and inspiring area. With strong aesthetic goals and practical functionality in mind, Rachael and her team set out to craft a space that feels both elevated and welcoming — a retreat within the everyday.
Design inspiration and Style
The design inspiration for Ashgrove grew from a balance of timeless and bold elements — blending classic architectural charm with contemporary flair. Textured features, statement wallpapers or tiles, and thoughtful layering of finishes helped define the space, creating visual interest while keeping the overall palette harmonious and serene.
Collaboration with The Blue Space
Working with The Blue Space gave the Front Porch Properties team access to a wide range of premium products — from tapware and fixtures to vanities and accessories — that perfectly supported the project’s style aspirations. This collaboration ensured that every selection not only looked beautiful but also performed reliably in daily use, contributing to a seamless design-to-install experience.
Product Selection and Detail
Key decisions in the Ashgrove renovation hinged on finding pieces that married aesthetics with durability. Elegant tapware, curated cabinetry, and quality finishes were chosen to complement the home’s architecture, while delivering a level of sophistication that makes the space feel truly special. Thoughtful attention to how materials, shapes and hues interact ensured a cohesive look throughout.
Outcome and Takeaways
The result of this collaboration is a beautifully realised space that showcases how considered design and expert product curation can elevate everyday living. The Ashgrove renovation stands as a testament to Front Porch Properties’ vision and The Blue Space’s ability to support diverse design needs, offering inspiration for anyone looking to balance character, comfort and style in their own home.
