The Block is back. Season 22 landed at Mount Eliza on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, with five teams renovating side by side and, in a first for the show, living together under one roof for the entire build. Scott Cam and Shelley Craft are back hosting, Dan Reilly's on the tools as foreman, and Darren Palmer, Shaynna Blaze and Marty Fox make up the judging panel. It's the first season in the show's 22-year history to be filmed on a water view site, and Sunday nights just got their reveal fix back.
We've been lucky enough to appear in more than a few of those reveals over the years. So to mark the start of Season 22, we're looking back at our favourite rooms featuring al.ive body, from ensuites to laundries, the ones that made it onto the bench, into the styling shot, and stuck in our minds long after the auction hammer came down.
Han & Cam · Main Ensuite
Han and Cam's main ensuite featured the Bathroom Duo in our Deep Plum colourway, set against warm timber panelling, dark stained cabinetry and glass vessel sinks. We love how our Deep Plum bottles compliment the warm tones of the bathroom.
Robby & Mat · Main Ensuite
Robby and Mat also chose the Bathroom Duo in Deep Plum, this time paired with an al.ive skin 5-piece Skincare Set on a dark walnut cabinetry with open shelving and warm mosaic tiling. The result is a considered styling moment rather than a crowded one.
Britt & Taz · Kitchen
Britt and Taz brought the Kitchen Trio in Natural Stone into their kitchen, styled on a light benchtop beside a chrome pull-down tap. We love that the Natural Stone colourway compliments the sink and benchtop instead of cluttering it.
Courtney & Grant · Main Ensuite
Courtney and Grant chose the Bathroom Duo in Natural Stone, styled in a marble-lined shower niche against brushed gold tapware and warm cabinetry. It's a pairing that leaned into the bathroom's palette rather than working against it.
Jessie & Paige · Bathroom
Jessie and Paige went with the Bathroom Duo in Midnight Blue, styled beside a freestanding tub and brushed nickel tapware. It's a deeper colourway that held its own against the room's scalloped, fish-scale tiling.
Kristy & Brett · Kitchen
Kristy and Brett styled their kitchen with the Kitchen Duo in Natural Stone, set against a deep marble benchtop and black sink, letting the pale colourway lift against the darker shades.
Eliza & Liberty · Laundry
Eliza and Liberty also brought the Kitchen Duo in Natural Stone into their laundry, styled beside a brass tap on a white stone benchtop, with walnut overhead cabinetry and an integrated hanging rail above. It's a reminder that the range earns its place well beyond the kitchen bench.
Scotty · Bathroom
2022 was the first year where co-host Scott Cam renovated a house alongside The Block contestants. Scotty's main bathroom featured the Bathroom Duo in Midnight Blue, styled on a timber vanity beside a clawfoot tub and vintage tapware. Against the room's deep blue walls, our Midnight Blue colourway served as part of a considered, moody palette rather than an add-on.
Omar & Oz · Bathroom
Omar and Oz chose the Bathroom Duo in Crisp White, a lighter pairing that sat cleanly against dark timber cabinetry, brass hardware and the room's herringbone tiling. We love how the Crisp White colourway compliments the clean styling of the bathroom.
Ronnie & Georgia · Master Bathroom
Ronnie and Georgia's master bathroom featured the Bathroom Duo in Crisp White, styled on an oak vanity with dual sinks and brass tapware. Set simply against timber and stone, the crisp colourway kept the room feeling calm rather than busy.
Jesse & Kirsty · Laundry
Jesse and Kirsty brought the Bathroom Duo in Midnight Blue into their laundry, set against navy cabinetry, mesh cabinet fronts and a subway tile splashback, proving the range earns its spot well beyond the bathroom.
al.ive body has been part of The Block since 2020, turning up in bathrooms, kitchens and laundries, wherever a bench needed finishing. Different teams, different briefs, different colourways entirely, but the same idea holds every time: a piece designed to be displayed, not hidden behind a cabinet door. Interlocking bottles, a considered colourway, a scent worth noticing. It's why the range keeps finding its way back onto the bench, season after season.
Season 22 is just getting started, and we'll be here for every reveal worth talking about. Catch this year's rooms as they air on our or The Block 2026 hub or shop the pieces that have made an appearance so far from our As Seen On The Block collection.
Here's to another season of rooms coming al.ive.
