Small master bathroom - Before & After
We have a small master bathroom - rectangular shape that is 6.3ft x 11.4ft. As you can see in the pictures, it was split into 2 sections...sinks/cabinets and then toilet/bath. I hated everything about it.
We couldn't change dimensions and we actually found out during demo the sink area is about 4" wider than the bathtub area due to some pipes in the wall.
Here's the after...
Great advice from Houzzians (?) to help us design it. What I love/learned:
- Walk in shower with no door and no curb. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!
- Wall-hanging toilet saves space
- Was able to re-use quartzite from kitchen counter remodel
- Better to have less cabinet space in bathroom. Less room for clutter.
- Taking out water restrictor from rain shower pretty much negates the need for handheld.
Few things I would do differently:
- Didn't add another electrical outlet by other sink while walls were open
- Height is adjustable on toilet before wall is covered up. Should have sat on it because it is about 1-1.5" too high.
- While the high faucets are pretty, they add to splashing of water on the countertop.
Be glad to share any/all items we used. And comments/criticisms are welcome!

Small bathroom before and after pics
Comments (34)Thanks for the info dpowlan. We had actually planned to put the toilet under the sloped roof and put a small shelf behind the toilet; essentially bumping it out about 6-8 inches, and then put a curbed skylight above it to combat the lack of headroom. Our contractor (at the time) seemed to have no problem with that. We were also going to run our shower all the way back to the roof and put in a shelf and a bench. However when the plumber showed up he told us he was pretty sure that that was not to code. My contractor then called me and said that all the walls in the bathroom had to be at least 5 ft tall per code. Which meant building a wall out from the sloping roof and losing 12 sq ft. Soo our small bath just became much smaller. It is good to hear that the internal dimensions of your lovely shower are 36 x 45. Our "new" dimensions will be approx 42 x 34. I looked at your pics and stopped hyper-ventilating a bit and thought, "Ok that looks roomy and do-able, if we are somewhere close to that size-wise we may be ok" Anyway, thanks for the help. You give all of us small bath people hope!!...See MoreBefore & After || Master Bathroom || Modern || Freestanding Tub

Comments (29)Bixa2805, we had a local handyman paint our cabinets a few years ago. It was about $1200 and he painted the doors, outside cabinet box and the post between the cabinets on the inside. He didn't paint the shelves or interior cabs. This was a few years ago, and it was a great decision!...See MoreBathroom Remodel Before, in Progress and After Pictures
Comments (12)@thisisnotadrill We had the bathroom stripped to the studs, so we installed a 2x6" notched into the framing (note this was not a load bearing wall) the full length of the vanity. We reinforced the inside of the vanity boxes with large L-brackets and screwed those into the 2x6" (behind the drywall at this point). If you can, it's undoubtedly better to buy a vanity made for wall mounting but we made it work and it's very sturdy. Good luck!...See MoreNoah Eisner
