A young couple have shown off the incredible renovation of their old run down, retro bathroom.

Amelia and Dean from Christchurch, New Zealand, transformed their space into a serene retreat for $12,000 – and the result was well worth the hard work. 

The couple began their transformation with a fresh coat of paint onto the walls and added new ceiling lights to instantly modernise the room.

The LED mirror light from Trade Depot sits above the sink and a gold heated towel rack was screwed onto the opposite wall to compliment the bathroom tap.
