Design ideas
Design ideas for bathrooms, kitchens and renovations
Design concepts to help you brief your project: layouts, materials and finishes for bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, extensions and new homes. Every image on this page is representative imagery, not a photo of a completed Bright project.

How to use these design concepts
These concepts are here to help you put words to what you want. They show a style or a layout idea, not a finished Bright project.
Save what catches your eye
Note the concepts that feel right and what you like about each one: the layout, a material, the way the light comes in.
Add how you live
A concept shows a look. Your brief should also cover storage, who uses the space and what isn't working in it now.
Bring them to the site visit
We'll talk through how the ideas suit your home, what's buildable and what drives cost. If you need drawings, your designer or draftsperson prepares them and we build to the plans.
