The Block 2026: Week 2 Family Bathroom Reveals, Courtney and Sev Take the Win

This week on The Block, the spotlight was on family bathrooms, and Courtney and Sev delivered a space that felt warm, luxe and genuinely family-ready. Their winning design combined a warm ivory tile palette, statement brushed gold tapware and a clever skylight moment over the vanity. From beautifully chosen tiles to considered storage and warm metallics, their bathroom was a masterclass in family-friendly luxury.

The power of tiles

Tiles set the tone for the whole room. A soft, warm ivory palette brought warmth to the walls without tipping into cold or clinical, while a matching floor tile kept the space feeling calm and cohesive rather than busy. The Sereno Ivory Marble Grain Honed Porcelain Tile brings that same honed softness to your walls, paired with the Frankie Vanilla Matte Porcelain Tile underfoot.

Gold tapware that elevates

Brushed gold tapware continues to prove why it's a bathroom staple, warm, contemporary and endlessly photogenic. Every fixture in this room shared the same finish, tying the whole scheme together. Recreate it with the Phoenix Vivid Slimline Basin/Bath Mixer Sets, Shower Wall Mixer and Oval Wall Shower System, all in Brushed Gold.

Statement bath and toilet

A soft matte white freestanding bath was the hero of the room, transforming the space into a genuine family retreat. Paired with a concealed in-wall toilet, the whole footprint felt considerably more streamlined.

Vanity, storage and that skylight moment

The judges couldn't stop talking about the skylight flooding natural light over the double vanity. You can borrow the effect with a well-lit, well-stored vanity of your own. The ADP Glacier Lite All Drawer Slim Vanity and Telbix Zecca Wall Light recreate that same soft, flattering glow.

Our takeaway

Courtney and Sev's win worked because it layered the right elements: warm ivory tiles, consistent gold metallics, and a genuinely thoughtful approach to light and storage. The result is a family bathroom that feels every bit as luxe as an ensuite, proof that the right combination of tile, tapware and light will always outlast a trend.
