bathroom remodel help

2 years ago

Hello everyone! I need to update my master bathroom but I do not want to spend 50,000 to do so. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can tackle this project. We want to keep same layout. We just want to make it look more modern.

IMO the layout is part of the problem and we need a to scale floor plan to really help.How much money do you have to spend. Start with the lighting get some good fixtures with LEDs in 4000K also the pot lights cajnged to the same LEDs that will at least modernize the lighting. I dislikrejacuzzi type tubs and it looks like you have a small walkin closet . I would wait until you can redo the layout, do you need a tub , would you like a bigger shower I think a complete gut and redo would be a huge improvement and also good ROI when you go to sell.

Thank you for your feedback! The walk closer is pretty spacious that picture doesn’t do it justice. When you say redo layout what do you mean? Do you think replacing the tiles with a different flooring and replacing the cabinets/ mirrors and light would not be enough?

am curious about the towel ring location. I have a similar layout, and the "obvious" spot seems to be as AJCN suggested, but ti's so near the outlet that I wonder about that. I guess it's not a concern.? In my instance there is a tad more space on either wall. Color wise I have similar flooring and have been strongly considering SW Sea Salt which is similar to watery. I think those colors are nice, but I think the lighter ones considering the dark vanity would work better. In our guest bath which has white flooring and white tiles/tub, I think I really like the Really Teal and the Lagoon. (but we have no windows there just the vanity lighting).

Thanks! The trim laying on the floor is unfinished. We had originally planned to stain trim to match the floors and the rest of the basement, but then decided to wait until we had decided on a vanity before we chose a trim color. The walls are honestly not as dark and beige as the pic shows. The room is dark as we have not yet installed any vanity lighting. The bathroom will not be a kids bathroom per se, just a basement bathroom, but small children will be using it when downstairs

Yes you need a professional plumber to fix the mess-that little accordion-looking pipe is definitely a handyman special. You mentioned the shower was extended-I’m almost afraid to ask...did the same handyman extend the shower?

Smaller windows above the water line,and a big shower. I have a 4 1/2 x 10 shower and I thought it was ridiculous (and to some it is) but I really like having my own area. .We have shower heads on each end with a rain head in the middle. If anything were to happen, it easily would accomodate a shower chair or an extra person if need be. We are in Florida so temperature and being chilly isnt a concern. I wouldnt dissuade you from building a big shower. You have to weigh whats important to you. I had the same size shower as you have in my last home, the larger shower is a game changer.
