This season on The Block, contestants Courtney and Grant teamed up with last year’s winners, Steph and Gian, to transform the Clubhouse into a breathtaking day spa and sauna. Their collaboration brought together Courtney and Grant’s signature ‘Moderterranean’ aesthetic with Steph and Gian’s tranquil Japandi style, resulting in a luxurious, harmonious space that truly captivated the judges.
The Design Vision: Combining Moderterranean and Japandi Styles
Courtney and Grant’s ‘Moderterranean’ style typically blends warm, earthy tones with a modern twist, while Steph and Gian’s Japandi approach brings minimalist, natural serenity to any room. When these two styles came together, they created a unique atmosphere that exudes both warmth and tranquility. Shaynna Blaze described it as "two killer Block styles coming together in perfect harmony," capturing the essence of this beautifully balanced fusion.
A Show-Stopping Space: The Judges' Reactions
The judges were in awe as they stepped into the day spa. Shaynna’s excitement was palpable: “The Block has a day spa?” she exclaimed, taken aback by the luxurious setting. Marty Fox, amazed by the transformation, commented, “I mean, this was Scotty’s bloody shed last week, and look at it now!” Each judge was struck by the serene ambiance and thoughtful design, recognizing it as a space that felt like it belonged in one of the world’s top day spas.
The Millie Raw Basin: A Perfect Centerpiece
At the heart of the spa’s stunning bathroom design was Nood Co’s Millie Raw Basin in the colour Mushroom. With its natural tones and raw, textured look, the basin added an earthy sophistication that perfectly aligned with the spa’s tranquil vibe. Shaynna was quick to highlight its beauty, noting, “You literally couldn’t find a better basin.” This signature piece became a focal point in the space, grounding the design and enhancing the room's calming atmosphere.
Luxurious Details: Creating a Space for Relaxation
Every detail in the day spa was meticulously curated to elevate relaxation. The judges admired the heated Dekton slab - a thoughtful addition that Darren Palmer couldn’t resist lying on to test its comfort. Marty’s admiration continued as he discovered the spa’s saunas tucked in the back. “It does feel like you could be anywhere in the world, at any of the top day spas across the planet,” he remarked, highlighting the timeless appeal of the space.
