Transforming a Family Bathroom with Luxury Freestanding Baths from Austpek Bathrooms

When Sydney-based interior designer Lisa Carter took on the renovation of a mid-century family home in Mosman, the bathroom posed a particular challenge. The space was outdated, crowded, and lacked both style and function. Her clients, a young couple with two children, envisioned a sanctuary where they could unwind after a long day, but also a durable, family-friendly space. The solution? Luxury freestanding baths, sourced from Austpek Bathrooms.

Lisa explains that the choice of a freestanding bath was pivotal to achieving the look and feel the clients desired. “We needed a centrepiece — something sculptural yet functional. The freestanding baths from Austpek not only provided aesthetic elegance but also unmatched comfort and durability,” she says.

After browsing several models online, Lisa and her clients chose a modern oval-shaped freestanding bath made from solid surface stone. Its smooth matte finish paired perfectly with the brushed brass tapware and natural timber cabinetry that defined the rest of the bathroom palette. The seamless design also ensured easy cleaning and maintenance — a must-have for the young family.

Installation was straightforward thanks to the lightweight composition of the bath and the clear guidelines provided by Austpek Bathrooms. Lisa also credits Austpek’s customer service for helping ensure that everything from water outlet compatibility to floor reinforcement was addressed in advance.

But the transformation went beyond aesthetics. “The bath changed how the space was used,” Lisa notes. “The kids now love bath time again, and the parents have a dedicated space where they can genuinely relax.” The deep soaking design of the bath allowed for longer, more comfortable bathing sessions. It quickly became the family’s favourite feature of their newly renovated home.

Austpek Bathrooms offers a broad collection of luxury freestanding baths in various styles, from minimalist and sleek to ornate and classic. For Lisa, this variety was essential. “Having access to such a wide range of options meant we didn’t have to compromise on style or functionality.” She also appreciated that many models come in different sizes, allowing her to tailor the bath to fit smaller spaces without losing that sense of luxury.

The project was completed within six weeks, and the final reveal exceeded expectations. The bathroom, once a dated and confined area, now feels like a high-end retreat straight out of a design magazine. Austpek’s freestanding bath sits proudly in the centre, framed by terrazzo floors, textured wall tiles, and ambient lighting.

Lisa’s takeaway? “Never underestimate the power of a freestanding bath. It anchors the space, elevates the design, and enhances the way a family interacts with their bathroom.”

For homeowners, renovators, or designers looking to upgrade their space, Austpek Bathrooms provides the ideal selection of luxury freestanding baths that fuse practicality with sophistication.
