Australian bathrooms are evolving from purely functional spaces into luxurious retreats designed for at home relaxation and rejuvenation. Driven by growing interest in health and wellbeing, homeowners are increasingly seeking to incorporate design elements typically found in high-end resorts.
"Today's homeowners want bathrooms that make a statement," explains Gorni Cahani, Master Artisan at CimentArt Australia. "We're frequently asked to help create stylish spaces featuring built-in soaking tubs, curved vanities and smooth finishes."
Material choice is key to achieving this aesthetic and CimentArt microcement is fast becoming a go-to solution among designers and architects. This innovative surface finish delivers a seamless appearance ideal for creating calming, spa-inspired spaces reminiscent of traditional Turkish Hammams.
"Clients appreciate the consistent and refined textures achievable with microcement," notes Cahani. "The absence of grout lines instantly creates a sense of spaciousness. But it's more than just the look they love—homeowners value its practical advantages too. Without grout, there's no mould and no risk of water seepage behind tiles and that means a lot less maintenance."
The versatility of CimentArt Microcement makes it appealing for bathroom renovations. The thin yet exceptionally durable and crack-resistant surface can be easily applied directly over existing tiles or other substrates such as plasterboard, MDF or plastic, simplifying and speeding up the renovation process.
"Microcement's flexibility and customisation possibilities allow us to deliver bespoke finishes tailored to each client's vision," says Cahani. "Whether it's soft, natural textures that evoke a sense of calm or striking marbled effects for visual impact, microcement allows us to turn ordinary bathrooms into extraordinary retreats."
As the popularity of spa-inspired bathrooms continues to rise, CimentArt microcement is quickly becoming a must-have design element, combining stylish aesthetics with practical functionality to create truly contemporary bathroom spaces.
