The bathroom dimension that often decides whether the whole layout works — and the first thing we check on a tight bathroom plan:

From the centre of the toilet to the nearest side wall, you need 400mm minimum — 450mm is noticeably more comfortable. That means a centred toilet wants 900mm of wall width all to itself.

In front of the toilet: 600mm minimum clear space, 700mm preferred. Between toilet and basin (or bath): 400mm minimum.

If the room is too tight to meet these, look at a back-to-wall (space-saver) toilet — they sit 550–600mm deep from the wall instead of the usual 680–720mm. That reclaimed 100mm can be the difference between 'it fits' and 'it doesn't.'

Her work is the kind you don't notice immediately — and that's exactly the measure of it. A well-designed kitchen doesn't announce itself; it just makes everything in your day easier. The bathroom that flows without you thinking about it. The space that feels right before you've worked out why. That's her standard.

"The banks need to be very sure that the amount they're lending is going to finish the job — and the customer isn't left with a half-done renovation."

Linda from Loan Market NZ explains what the banks are looking for in a renovation mortgage.

We partner with Loan Market because they know how to present an application correctly the first time. It changes the answer from "no" to "yes."

𝗔𝘂𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱'𝘀 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗳𝘂𝗹. They're also not like anything else a builder will encounter.

Asbestos in the ceiling battens. Unconsented additions from the 70s. Ancient galvanised plumbing that looks fine until you open a wall. Undersized joists that weren't designed for modern wet areas. The list goes on.

Generic builders learn this on your job. Renovation specialists who've worked on hundreds of villas and bungalows plan for it before they start — and budget for it properly.

If you own a character home and you're thinking about renovating, this is the guide to start with.

If you're installing a freestanding bath, the one thing most people miss is the cleaning clearance. It's a question we field on almost every bathroom renovation.

50–100mm gap between the bath and the wall on each long side. Minimum. 150–250mm if you want it to read as properly freestanding rather than wedged between two walls.

At the tapware end — 300mm if the tap is floor-mounted, 100mm if wall-mounted. At the non-tap end — 50mm minimum, 150mm preferred.

Walking space past the bath: 700mm minimum, or you'll scrape your hip every time you walk past. A freestanding bath jammed into a tight alcove is the worst of both worlds — it costs more than a built-in and loses all the visual benefit.

You don't realise how much of your day you spend mid-scroll until the one room you should switch off in… doesn't let you.

This Auckland bathroom went from "get in, get out" to the part of the house they actually want to be in. Warm finishes, proper lighting, nothing fighting for attention.
Slowing down at home shouldn't take a holiday. Sometimes it just takes the right space.

A mid-range bathroom renovation in Auckland costs $25,000–$32,000 in 2026. That's above the national average — Auckland's higher labour rates push prices up.

Labour alone is 40-50% of your total. Then tiles, fixtures, plumbing, electrical, and the stuff people always forget — waterproofing, consent fees, and contingency.

Swipe through for the full cost breakdown. Save it for planning.

You make coffee in this room five days a week for the next twenty years.

A kitchen without morning light is a kitchen you spend two decades avoiding before breakfast.

Get this one right. Everything else is negotiable.

If your kitchen feels cramped, this is usually why — and it's the first dimension our team checks when we plan a new kitchen layout.

The rule: 1000mm minimum between any two opposing surfaces — bench to wall, bench to island, anywhere you need to stand or walk. 1200mm is properly comfortable. Under 1000mm and you're bumping cabinets every time someone opens the oven.

Two-cook kitchen? Push it to 1500mm between the main run and the island. That's the difference between 'we can both work in here' and 'one of you needs to leave.'

We design walkways first, then work the cabinetry around them. Everyone does it backwards and regrets it.
