Master Bathroom Remodel
Comments (7)I was thinking of moving the new shower to where the tub is, moving the sinks/vanity to the wall where the shower is, but then I would have that big area of dead space where the sinks are now. I thought about adding a linen closet in that corner but I dont want a linen closet that big and there would still be dead space....See MoreSeeking help with master bathroom remodel
Comments (3)First question is always "what's your budget"? Other than the stained floor, nothing appears really wrong that styling won't help. So you may be able to achieve an attractive space without spending the world. See if you can have that terrazzo professionally cleaned and sealed. If that's possible, it's likely the easiest solution and will save a lot over the cost of replacement. The floor tile and vanity are cool neutrals. Replacing them doesn't make much sense unless they are broken. But the paint in there is a warm neutral and clashes terribly. Consider a pale blue or light grey. Consider adding more lighting. Updating the towel bars and existing lighting fixture/fan would help too. Then buy some towels that are a dark version of whatever paint colour you chose. That will add a bit of necessary contrast...See MoreMaster bathroom remodel tile questions. Would love your help!
Comments (3)I like the flooring on the right better. The one on the left that has a bit more going on feels kind of faux to me but not in a good way. I'd stick with 12x24. It just feels more contemporary than a square. I'd run the length of the tile with the length of the room. Enjoy the marble while it looks nice. I do hear it easily discolors with water stains....See MoreMaster Bathroom Remodel
Comments (6)I am not sure what to do for mirrors so it doesn’t look odd I'd do large mirrors the width of the two vanities; frame them -- with a frame they don't look builder basic. Smaller mirrors will play up the difference between the two (and are less functional). Also, should we match the shower floor tile to the bathroom floor so it has more of a flow to make the space feel larger? It's not a bad choice. Function dictates that tile IN THE SHOWER should be small -- makes it more "grippy" and safer. Whereas, tile in the general bathroom will probably be larger. I'm guessing, but I'd say stick with 9x9 or 12x12 in the main space ... or if you prefer a rectangular tile, go with something like 9x11. Are you sure you want tile in the main space? I prefer linoleum or wood, which are warmer and softer. I'd consider adding a heated floor while you're at it. Such a nice luxury. Other thoughts: - Where will you hang your shower towels? - Definitely put the shower controls on the shower wall shared with the toilet closet ... this'll allow you to reach in /turn on the shower without committing your body to the cold water. - Have you considered storage IN the shower? Niches give you more storage than those tiny corner inserts ... and you should build in more storage than you think you need. Personally, I'd go with a pony wall between the shower and the main bath ... and would put in a looonng niche that would be hidden from view. Shampoo bottles aren't really attractive. - Where will you place your bathroom trash can? You'll want access to it at both sinks and the toilet. Multiple trash cans = more work. - Will you keep a hamper in the bathroom? If so, where? - Where will you store extra toilet paper IN the toilet closet? Do you anticipate being elderly in this house? If so, consider you may need medical supplies near the toilet; storage would be a plus. - I hate toilets in closets ... but if you're going to do one, I'd suggest you flip-flop this one with the shower space. Why? Because then you could have a window in the toilet closet, where as a window in the shower is always a problem. Water will fight you 24/7 and will eventually win. - In fact, you're covering up your only window ... ideally you'd have that window in the main bathroom. Do you have the option to add another window on the left side? - I personally would skip the second sink nearer the toilet and go with a nice big linen closet. A duplicate sink is of little use, whereas space for extra towels, beach towels, bed linens, extra toiletries is always needed. - Your cabinetry choice looks simple and basic. You'll be able to change the look of the room easily with this as a background. - What will you use for a countertop? White, black or tan seem to be the obvious choices....See MoreSusan Brake
