Colour Selection - Interior - Bathrooms

There are hundreds of upgrades we can chose from. But we only upgraded the one we really want and the ones which will be hard to change later on.

As part of our package, we got this Impression Upgrade included. Therefore, we have a few things we do not need to upgrade anymore.

Bathroom upgrade prices are not that shocking, comparing to the living/dining upgrades. Probably because we have done enough research to keep our budget under control...


* Shower screen frames
Standard shower screen hight is about 1.85M. But if you have a partner who's more than 1.9M tall... then it's better to spend $350 per shower to raise frames to 2M to keep the splash in the shower. This is not a upgrade, this is more like a special request.  2M is the highest it can go up to. You see how guys can be pricing sometimes as well.

$250 shower upgrade is something everybody will get, I assume, to upgrade from white plastic base and frame to nice chrome. That's one step up. More upgrades available for semi frameless and frameless shower frames.

* Accessories
- basic bathroom accessories are single towel rail and toilet holder. That's right, NO hand towel ring!
- $50 for matching hand towel ring
- $60 to instal an extra single towel rail or $70 to upgrade from single towel rail to double

* Vanity - drawers
- standard vanity is a two-door cupboard matte finish
- adding 3-drawers bank cost $250 each
- vanity moved to the wall side (against the wall), to avoid the awkward gaps

* Shower head
Yes.. we spent $790 on top of the upgraded shower head on this awesome looking Caroma Essence wall rail shower with overhead wels chrome. and for both of the bathrooms!

Well... it started with the discussion of upgrading the toilets. The upgraded toilets requires 1.2M wall tiles because the back of the toilet is fixed onto the wall. S didn't want to spend thousands of $ on tiles and fancy toilet.. so I suggested to go for a smaller upgrade like the showerheads....

There is nothing wrong with the shower head in the Impression package. It was just me wanting something nicer looking ..... emmm... and somehow I won... and yes, that's how women shop..


Originally I'd like free standing bath, which cost $1,200 appx, and it seems MJH only has one free standing bath option. But it can be a pain to clean the dust stuck on the joint of the floor. Plus it leaves too much gap everywhere, where can be used as bench space if it is built in.


* Tiles
- bathroom floor tiles in the bathrooms does not go up as skirting - in the bathrooms, if it is different from the wall tile. So there is no ugly two tone joint in the shower
- wall tiles are used for the skirtings in the bathrooms and on the side of the built in bath tub
- skirting in the laundry and separate toilet is the same as the floor

* Mirror

- $350 to upgrade to the wall mirror in the main bathroom, same as the display homes
- standard mirror has metal frame around it, and it costs $100 to have a frameless and polished edge


There is nothing upgraded for the laundry, as we are planning to make customised simple shelves after handover. There will only be a sink like this.
