Designline Kitchens & Bathrooms has been named the winner of “Best Bathroom Renovation” at the 2025 Australian Cabinet and Furniture Association (ACFA) Awards, a national celebration of exceptional craftsmanship, design innovation, and leadership within Australia’s cabinet and furniture-making industry.
Widely regarded as the pinnacle of design excellence, the ACFA Awards (which were judged ‘blind’ for complete impartiality) recognise the country’s most outstanding creators in cabinetry, furniture, and design. Earning this title places Designline Kitchens & Bathrooms among Australia’s most trusted home renovators, a testament to their meticulous attention to detail and design-led approach.
Company Director and Bathroom Designer Jackson Mikhael expressed his gratitude and pride at receiving the honour:
“ACFA brings together Australia’s best cabinet and furniture makers who are leaders in their field and who warrant immense respect. To be recognised among such high-calibre peers is humbling. I couldn’t be prouder of our team and the dedication that made this achievement possible. Thanks to them and to ACFA for this incredible outcome.”

Behind Australia’s Best Bathroom Renovation
The award-winning Sydney bathroom renovation that secured the national title was an exceptional project in Rozelle, where contemporary luxury met historic character.
Initially, the project appeared fairly straightforward until walls were removed to reveal original Sydney sandstone dating back to convict times. Jackson and the Designline team quickly realised that the opportunities far outweighed the challenges. They wasted no time reimaging plans that would ultimately celebrate and preserve this heritage feature, turning a discovery into the defining statement of the space.
The result blends bespoke custom cabinetry and modern indulgence, featuring soft-close timber joinery, smoky mirrored accents, and ambient LED feature lighting that highlights the sandstone’s natural warmth. Underfloor heating and heated towel rails complete the experience, ensuring that beauty and comfort coexist in perfect balance.
It’s a renovation that captures the essence of Sydney living, seamlessly merging history, innovation, and timeless design excellence.
