Need help with my bathroom

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

I live in a bungalow and rent out the basement. This bathroom is the only upstairs bathroom. We removed the bedroom closet and installed the sliding door from the master bedroom to the bathroom. I didn't even think about the furnace pipe going from the floor to the ceiling. Due to budget and existing house construction all fixtures need to stay as is. I was given Travertine tile for the floor years ago and still want to use them.

What am I going to do with ugly furnace pipe going floor to ceiling?

I want to remove tub and have walk in shower, maybe even no doors just a 1/2 wall.

This is the main door from hallway.

And this is the new sliding door to master bedroom. Love this just not sure how to make it work.

Build around it with a bump out with some storage

I agree with Brandi. Make a cute storage/cabinet to hide it. And maybe a little vent to warm you as you read.

I agree with the above. More storage is always a good idea. If you want purely decorative though, build it out around it and cover it with brick facade for a fun urban loft feel. I would do the build out 3 exposed sided, the 4th side attaching to the bathroom wall. It would give the appearance that a real chimney is passing through the room.

It would be nice to make a bit of a privacy wall around the pipe...maybe build it out to where the vinyl is already cut. There definitely would be room for some storage in front of the pipe to which is always handy.

Thank-you for all your comments. Consensus seems to be build a wall with storage, I had already thought about doing this. If I put storage there then there will be a huge area behind the main door that would be unused. I was thinking more along the line of a pillar around the pipe just don't know how to actually accomplish this. Regina's idea of the chimney look is great too! This might give it the Spa feeling I am looking for.
