Need Help with Masterbath

10 years ago

Hi Everyone! This is my very first post. I am definitely not one who is good at decorating, so I need all of the help I can get. ;) We are in the process of building / moving into a new townhome. I have never had a nice space to live, so I desperately want it to come out nice. I am leaning towards a palette of whites and grey through the home. I thought this was a sound decision until I started reading some of these posts, lol. Anyways here is what I'm thinking....

Here is floorplan of Masterbath. It is on the smaller side.

We will do a white vanity with carrera marble top, with either chrome or white mirrors and chrome light fixtures above mirrors. Cabinet hardware will be chrome or glass. We have decided a half wall of tile will run from wall with vanity, continue along wall on right to edge of shower. I'm thinking walls will be painted grey? Trying to decide between white subway tile or carrera subway tile for half walls and shower. If I do white subway tile, I was thinking of having back wall of shower an accent wall of carrera subway.

We will have a triangular seat in the corner of shower and probably smaller ones for shampoo and conditioner. Thinking a carrera marble for these. I've been thinking about carrera hexagon, in a slightly larger size, or a carrera basket weave as floor tile. I would probably use whatever we use for floor also for floor of shower. I want the room to feel beautiful and timeless, not cold and sterile. Anyone have ideas? Open to all advice.

And don't change or even question your color pallete just because you read a few comments that don't align with your plan. It's great to have nice, but strive for a look that you and your family will love, nothing more, nothing less. Your plans sound gorgeous and you should trust your gut.

Carrera. Keep the room peaceful and serene. No chrome - too cold. Go with polished nickel - just goes with marble.

I agree about sticking with your design choices. I want to make a statement about the angled toilet though. Don't do it! The bathroom dimensions don't look right to me with aisle widths but it is hard to see. Also, does the angled toilet create an angled wall in the bathroom behind it? I would post your layout in the bathroom forum for some great advice. I assume changes in the layout are possible.

google Sarah Richardson bathroom. She's done a number with carrera marble that may help you decide on tile.

You are aware, I assume, about the maintenance issues with marble, yes? If not a concern, great. If so, they do make some good looking quartz products with more durability.

Re the water closet, in swing doors are a safety hazard and the door there should swing out.

Annie, there's not a door on the water closet area. I'm not sure why the plans are showing one. I wasn't aware of the upkeep of marble until reading some of the posts on these boards. I'm now looking for other materials with a similar look. I will look into quartz. Any particular lines to look for?
