Design Case Study: Transforming a Master Bathroom into a Spacious, Functional, and Modern Retreat

‍Project Overview

The homeowners of a beautiful, contemporary home were seeking to transform their master bathroom into a larger, more functional, and organized space that aligns with their modern, European-inspired aesthetic. The existing bathroom was cramped and lacked sufficient room for comfortable dressing, leading to a need for a more efficient layout and storage solutions. The team at Refresh Renovations was tasked with creating a design that not only addresses these issues but also enhances the flow into the master bedroom and improves the overall property value.

Design Objectives

1. Make Space Feel Larger: Open up the bathroom to create a more spacious and airy feel.
2. Improve Functionality and Usability: Ensure the bathroom has enough room for the homeowners to comfortably get dressed.
3. Enhance Organization: Incorporate efficient storage solutions to keep the space organized and clutter-free.
4. Modernize with a Lean Toward European Design: Use contemporary, European-inspired elements to create a sleek and sophisticated look.
5. Provide a Good Flow into the Master Bedroom: Design the space to seamlessly connect with the master bedroom, enhancing the overall living experience.
6. His and Hers Closet and Hanger Cabinet: Install separate storage areas for both homeowners.
7. Free-Standing Tub: Place a free-standing tub on new LVP flooring for easy cleaning and water management.
8. Seating Area: Include a seating area in front of the tub for dressing and relaxation.
9. Heated Tile: Install heated tiles throughout the bathroom, including the shower, for added comfort.
10. Dual Shower Heads with Glass Sliding Door: Incorporate two shower heads with a glass sliding door for his and her needs, with easy access valves.

Design Implementation

• Open Space Layout: The existing walls and partitions to be removed to create an open, flowing space that connects the bathroom to the master bedroom. This change not only makes the bathroom feel larger but also provides a more functional area for dressing.
• His and Hers Closet and Hanger Cabinet: Two separate linen closets and hanger cabinets to be installed, one for each homeowner. These cabinets are designed with a modern, minimalist aesthetic and are equipped with ample storage for towels, linens, and clothing.
• Free-Standing Tub: A luxurious, free-standing tub to be placed on new LVP (Luxury Vinyl Plank) flooring. The LVP flooring is easy to clean and manage water, ensuring a practical and elegant solution.
• Seating Area: A stylish, modern seating area to be added in front of the tub. This area includes a small table for placing a glass of wine or other items, enhancing the relaxation experience.
• Heated Tile: Heated tiles were installed throughout the bathroom, including the shower area, to provide warmth and comfort. The tiles are designed with a subtle, modern pattern that complements the overall aesthetic.
• Dual Shower Heads with Glass Sliding Door: Two shower heads to be installed, each with its own easy access valve. The shower area is enclosed with a glass sliding door, which not only looks modern but also maximizes the available space.
• Storage Solutions: A custom-built commode cabinet to be installed to provide additional storage for toiletries and personal items. The cabinet is designed with handleless, flat-front doors to maintain a clean and uninterrupted look.
• Lighting: New, modern lighting fixtures to be installed, including recessed LED lights and a sleek, oil-rubbed bronze ceiling fan. The lighting is designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, enhancing the overall ambiance of the space.
• Color Scheme: The walls to be painted in a soft, neutral color to create a calm and inviting atmosphere. The color scheme leans toward a modern, European design, with subtle accents that add depth and sophistication.
• Materials: High-quality, easy-to-clean materials to be used throughout the bathroom, including the vanity top, countertops, and shower enclosure. The materials are durable and maintain a sleek, modern look.
