Can this ugly Master Bathroom be saved?
Comments (5)This actually seems like a pretty easy one to fix because everything can sort of stay where it is, just tweak a bit to make it more functional. Of course you need to decide what you really want from the room. Get a console or floating vanity and put 2 medicine cabinets, one over each sink. I would make it smaller to match the opposite wall length and get rid of the angled side - chop it off square at 83" so the room feels more symmetrical. Put floor to ceiling cabinets on either side of the closet entrance. They could be open shelves or cupboards, depending on what you want to store. Only need to be 12" deep. Put a mirror on the closet door. Make those cabinets look luxe - fine wood or lacquer paint. Get a freestanding tub, 66 x 32 size or so, not too big since you don't seem to use it. It can go in the same corner, but without the huge surround. That gives you room to expand the shower, which should be all glass. If you really don't like baths and you have other tubs, you could make one huge shower taking over the tub space. Make the wall between the toilet and the shower glass (you can frost the lower half if you like more privacy for your WC). That way the light from the door reaches all the way into the room....See MoreCan You Help. New House; Horrible Master Bathroom
Comments (7)I was expecting something awful, but it's not bad at all. The issue is the gray paint, which will not work. Some of your inspiration photos lean that way, but you're correct that something in the cream/warm family would look better. Some pros may have suggestions for stronger colors, maybe sage walls and cream vanity or something. Another option for you would be wallpaper, if you have decent ventilation. That could provide a statement that would take the focus off the tile. One thing I've observed is that handicapped people can take a toll on bathrooms, banging into walls and such. That was certainly the case with my in-laws. My MIL had her bathroom festooned with grab bars - like a dozen of them. We had to retile the whole bathroom before selling the house. You may have to fill holes in the wall and trim, but that is easily done and will look great after. By contrast, your two bars aren't bad at all, and will work well as towel bars....See MoreAdvice for new master bathroom mirrors and lighting??

Thanks!
Comments (3)Thanks for your feedback! Here are the plans (they don't reflect the newest updates I made). We originally had walls around the toilet, but when I put it in Sketchup, it felt too enclosed and cut off the view of the mountains. Also, it felt very dated, like something that would have been done in the 90s. In terms of the closet, we really need/want the extra closet space. And we put the tub in the shower because we like the idea of having a "wet area" - which is sort of a new thing that's being done a lot these days. But open to your thoughts! We just wanted a view of the mountains from both the tub and the shower. Thank you!!!!...See MorePradeep Padmanabhan
