Master bath -finishing

I am happy with our master bath. I need to get a shower curtain and new mat for in front of the shower. Right now everything is quite neutral. I could go with a new white curtain but I find the idea of adding something terracotta/orange/rust interesting too. That could be via the rug. Suggestions?
here are some pics

HUGE master bedroom; TINY master bath
Comments (24)I'm bumping this back up because I've been thinking about scaling back. We are reno'd out after our kitchen, and now bogged down with painting nearly every room in the house. We also have to take out some carpet and install hardwood. The thing I hate the most is the sink right across from the toilet. We do use the bathroom at the same time, but there is barely enough room for toilet and sink use simultaneously. Plus, I hate having a mirror right across from the toilet. So, I'm thinking of keeping the vanity as a single vanity, 48", but moving the sink closer to the shower. Then we'd put tall cabinets across from the toilet for towels, toiletries, etc., which we currently keep out in the hall closet. Though I still worry about the huge size discrepancy between the bedroom and bathroom....See MoreMaster Bath lacks space for a Master Feel?!???
Comments (15)Classic Comfort, great job on post and pics! I am in the same situation with my master bath.. We need to remodel for ourselves now but also consider future sale in (5years?). We have a HUGE corner jacuzzi that has been used a total of 5 times in 13 years, 1 by me the rest by my grandchildren. We have no other tub in the house and our shower is currently really dated but a 2 person space with 1 shower head no body sprays. I plan to remove the tub and re tile that floor area but stub out the water supply and hide it and the drain but leave a diagram so it is accessible if a future owner wants to put in a tub. So a dedicated tub space that I will use for an exercise bike or lounge chair, there is a double sided gas fireplace next to the tub so it could become a reading nook. I have not decided. A future owner could easily put in a freestanding tub or a tub with a deck. We will then gut everything and rework shower access and bathroom access to be ADA approved for easy use of a wheelchair and curbless shower. My husband and I are fully mobile but I figure if I am remodeling and not sure what is in store better to be handicap accessible and not look like it! We are in the San Diego area. This is an expensive remodel but I don't think we can DIY with all the plumbing criteria....See MoreFloor Plan Advice/Help - MasterBed too big, MasterBath too small?
Comments (4)To me, the floorpan seems to make sense as it is. You could extend the bath slightly into the bedroom to give you a longer countertop space, about where the wall of bedroom2 runs, but you need to know if that works with your bedroom furniture. You could also slide the shower over to the back part of your closet, accessed from the shorter end, to slide to toilet down and have more countertop. It depends on your priorities....See Moremaster bedroom, master closet, master bath, 1/2 bath and laundry
Comments (9)Do you have another bathtub in the house...for bathing kids? Unless you or your spouse enjoy baths...maybe eliminate the tub in the MBA? I am glad I have a linen closet in my MBA. I agree with eliminating the reach-in closets and adding windows. Also think about how you dress; a walk-in closet can hold all the things people used to store in dressers. (You really don't *need* a window in a closet, although Mark gave it one.) I agree with him about losing the (dated) double doors -- and creating an entry, rather than plopping right into the living room. If you'll eat at the kitchen island a lot, consider seating that's not all-in-a-row. It makes conversation difficult....See Morelocaleater

6 years agoI love your bathroom! Here is a shower curtain from Bed Bath and Beyond that has rust in it. They also have several others you might like.

6 years agoIngrid- yes, I think I want an oriental style rug
Aktillery - Thats a very pretty curtain, I think I have to get the curtain last though to make sure the combination of curtain and rug arent too busy. (I have low threshold for busy :) )
I have purchased this watercolor which I will need to have framed when it arrives. I have been eyeing it for a very long time.
This rug is a possibility, but one of the reviews says it is brighter than it appears and that the binding is almost fuschia.
