granite

What color?

Tiger Brown or Magma if wanting dark or Lennon or Netueno Bordeaux if wanting lighter.

What about in shower?

Stick to travertine, go lighter in tone.

Great question, but it does depend on a few factors:

Travertine is beautiful, easy to replace, color match and cut/shape. It is also arguably more environmentally sound because it's a natural stone.

However, it is also more expensive and requires more maintenance. It's very porous so in addition to acidic substances (basic household cleaners), even water-based substances can cause problems.

Granite or quartz might be more suitable solutions for counters and porcelain tiles for the floor and walls in your shower. You can still have a modern look with a low profile acrylic shower base, but a zero threshold/tiled look will be the cleanest and most contemporary.

There are millions of photos here on houzz but I also invite you to check out our page and site for design inspiration and guidance. At Revive we focus 100% on bathroom remodels and renovations. Hope this helps and good luck!!

I'd kinda rather see hardwood floors. If well sealed, water shouldn't be a problem. Other than that, then go with white - you can go in any direction you want with other decor/design choices. Just seems when anyone goes in a beige direction they stick to beiges and browns for everything else - it's hard to change the look. Ever. And looks boring from the start.

Lisa, what kind of budget are you working with? knowing this would help narrow down the options.

Having said that, if you want your bathroom to look more modern, go with a flat counter - no backsplash, no bullnose edges. Paint the cabinets. Add cool cabinet hardware that works with the faucet finish; new counters means new sinks and faucets.

Keep the new shower as simple as possible since this is not a large room. Glass shower wall and door with no metal trim would be great.

Keep it neutral and light and then you can add accessories for some colour without spending a lot.

If you want to go modern then forget about granite - that's "transitional" and a fad that has seen better days. For countertop thing of more sleek white - quartz counters - with undercounted sinks.

Are you keeping the travertine floor? Someone ^^^^ mentioned travertine in the shower - yes you can do that - it would look nice

but what might be rather nice is a marble wall in warm browns with a lot of veins - just against the back wall. - - so it coordinates / compliments with travertine floor but doesn't repeat it. and use glass walls/ door. Using a bold pattern in the small space can actually make the space look bigger.

Of course it depends on your budget AND your taste. :-) Have fun

Great advise. Thanks

p.s. when I say marble wall - I mean the whole slab - - so no grout lines!!! Now that's sleek & modern and also practical ;-)

Loved these

Will be my Master Bath. How about this idea?

yes, your room is not as large - if you can't build out, so use some of the essences of what you see ^^ That one awl of marble is in the being of what I was talking about (no pun intended).

One on left is lovely = = are you able to do a gut renovation? If ye, then go for it :-)

If do wood on the floor, bamboo might be the best choice for that---and environmentally good, too.

Don't do marble. Hard to maintain.

Oké

Hi Lisa,

Very beautiful photos/ideas you have. The white accent color looks great and definitely helps with making it look more modern. Are you planning on keeping the vanity and just updating the counter tops? Or replacing the entire vanity?

As for the shower, we have a unique alternative to materials. We offer a variety of shower bases in our signature blu•stone™ material, which is durable, eco-friendly and easy to clean.

I think you need to decide how much you want to spend.

A relatively inexpensive option would be to keep the tub, but remove the shower door and get a nice shower curtain. Then get a new, sleeker vanity. Maybe something in a medium wood tone with slab doors. Since that looks like a standard 60" vanity, you should be able to find appealing options at a variety of price points.

Light colored Quartz countertop - base color to match the ceramic bath tiles, with flecks that pick up in the floor travertine (which looks dark for travertine). An extra thick Quartz countertop with squared edges would look cool. This is where I would splurge.

Undermount sinks. Personally, I would consider going to one sink to add storage. especially since it looks like a pretty tight fit already. The only "bad" thing about you current bath is the laundry basket. A laundry pull out would be nice.

New faucets and lighting.

If you want to spend more, then the next step would be replacing the tub with a shower. At that point you are going to have to deal with a lot more cost variables and decisions. It might make sense to just gut the whole thing. Because I think travertine has become a little dated (although I have had it and liked it and definitely never had an issue with maintenance).

It is not a huge master bath and it is not ugly or in horrible condition. I doubt a gut reno would be worth it. I would err on the side of doing less.

Just a note about marble - countering a small comment above ^^ it is NOT hard to maintain. I'm an interior designer - I use it all over the place for back-splashes, bathroom, bath & kitchen floors. EAST to maintain - ESPECIALLY when you do a slab of marble and have no seams!! Important to seal it properly - I make sure my contractors seal it 3 times for floors - - 2 times for walls. I was just visiting with an old client - - 7 years ago - - the marble kitchen floor is still looking GORGEOUS - They had it resealed about 2 years ago - other than that - just normal cleaning - - of course use marble cleaners - creamy cleansers - nothing with grit.

As an aside - the BEST cleaner for grout lines - - Hydrogen Peroxide - - and it's cheaper too.

The photo is not master bath. The one below is! I will be moving into this house after remodeling baths and paint job. It's a vacation home. This is master bath. And also needs ideas. Not my decore lol

Main bath= Want to take tub out and replace with shower. Glass door, new lighting and faucets and countertop

This bath maybe the same size as your existing bath.

• It has a double vanity with quartz banjo top that extends over the toilet to expand the space.
• A matching full height mirror to visually extend your bath.
• A full shower with built in seat and framless hinged glass door for shower.
