Love The Block Australia? Here’s How to Get That Look Right Here in South Africa — With a Little Help from Bella Bathrooms

If you’re hooked on The Block Australia — or if you’re just looking to finally turn your house into a home before your next big dinner party — it’s no wonder you’re brimming with ideas. Watching savvy contestants transform dated spaces into jaw-dropping showstoppers is addictive… and inspiring.

The good news? You don’t have to import everything from Down Under (and pay Aussie prices or wait months for shipping) to get the look. Here’s how you can recreate some of The Block’s most stylish moments right here in South Africa, with a little help from Bella Bathrooms & Tiles.

🪵 Start With Show-Stopping Floors

Just like on The Block, the floor often sets the tone. Whether you’re revamping to enjoy yourself or hoping to flip for a profit, start from the ground up.

• Laminate is perfect for high-traffic areas where you want low maintenance and a sleek look.

• Vinyl planks offer a different texture, tons of modern colour options, and they’re super durable.

Best of all? You can source both right here — at local prices — meaning more budget left over for eye-catching fixtures and finishing touches.

🏠 Tiles That Would Make Any Contestant Jealous

Marble mosaics, metro classics, wood-look wonders, terrazzo showpieces — if you’ve spotted it on The Block, chances are we have a match (or something even better).

🖤 The Block’s Secret Weapon: Matte Black Tapware (Meir’s Specialty)

Matte black taps and mixers are absolutely everywhere on The Block. They give spaces that instant modern edge.

Here’s the best part for local renovators:
✨ Bella Bathrooms is one of the very few exclusive distributors of Meir in South Africa.
Meir is an award-winning Australian brand, loved for its sleek matte black taps, mixers, shower heads and kitchen sinks. They’ve set the standard on The Block time and again — and we can help you bring that exact look into your own home.

Browse Meir’s matte black collection here or pop into our showroom to see how beautifully these pieces pair with everything from minimalist spaces to raw urban-industrial designs.

🚰 Upgrade Your Kitchen Like a Pro

No renovation is complete without refreshing the kitchen. Even small tweaks — like new taps, a bold black sink, or a set of designer cabinet handles — can completely change the feel of the space.

If you’ve seen something on The Block that makes your heart race, show us. We’ll help you replicate the look for less, with quality that will last long after the camera crews would have packed up.
