“Luxury, scale and serenity come together in this new ensuite, a critical value add that completely repositions the home.”
For this week’s Selling Houses Australia transformation, the Gisborne ensuite was reimagined into a calm, light-filled retreat layered with warmth, texture and timeless finishes. Once lacking cohesion and personality, the space now feels elevated and effortlessly liveable, balancing everyday functionality with soft, contemporary styling.
A Spacious Ensuite Designed for Everyday Luxury
This transformation focused on creating a bathroom that felt open, calm and elevated while still functioning beautifully for everyday living.
A softer palette, layered textures and streamlined fixtures now work together to create a sense of serenity throughout the space. Large mirrors and clean lines help maximise light, while warm finishes ensure the room feels inviting rather than clinical.
The result is an ensuite that feels luxurious without being overdesigned, balancing functionality with timeless appeal.
The Hero: Timberline Vanity in Light Pistachio Satin
At the heart of the ensuite is the beautifully detailed Timberline Windsor Vanity in Light Pistachio Satin.
The soft green tone introduces warmth and personality while still feeling calm and refined, the perfect way to bring colour into a contemporary bathroom without overwhelming the space.
Paired with brushed chrome handles, double above-counter basins and elegant shaker-style detailing, the vanity anchors the room beautifully while delivering generous storage and practicality for everyday living.
The matching Timberline shaving cabinets further elevate the design, creating a cohesive and highly considered look throughout the space.
A standout feature of the vanity design is the stunning Timberline SilkSurface vanity top, selected in a soft neutral finish that beautifully complements the Light Pistachio cabinetry.
Designed to deliver the elegant look and feel of natural stone without the high maintenance, SilkSurface combines refined aesthetics with everyday practicality. Its soft matte finish and subtle veining introduce texture and sophistication while keeping the space feeling calm and cohesive.
SilkSurface is also 100% silica-free, non-porous, stain resistant and easy to maintain, making it an ideal choice for busy family bathrooms where durability matters just as much as design.
Together, the Timberline vanity and SilkSurface top create a bathroom that feels elevated, timeless and designed for real life.
Timeless Chrome Finishes & Bao Luxury
Polished chrome tapware and accessories create a clean, cohesive finish throughout the ensuite, enhancing light while balancing the softer tones of the vanity and tiles beautifully.
The success of this ensuite lies in its beautifully restrained material palette.
The Tumbled Natural Calacatta Gold Marble subway tiles introduce softness, movement and warmth while adding subtle texture throughout the room. Their handcrafted appearance works beautifully alongside the soft green cabinetry and chrome finishes, creating a space that feels layered yet calming.
It’s a perfect example of how thoughtful colour and material choices can completely transform the feeling of a bathroom.
