bathroom remodeling

7 years ago

We are remodeling a master bathroom. Our ceiling is pitched in this area. We are trying to figure out a way to make this look so funky

Current design (picture one). Large bathtub with built in surround which takes the whole width of the windows and about two feet on both sides.

New design (picture 2) remove window on the right which is where a wall will go. Remove semicircle window because the windows will no longer be centered under it. Add a free standing bathtub centered under remaining three windows.

Is there anything we can do to make this asymmetrical ceiling not look so odd aside from fixing the roof line from the outside (which isn’t an option). From the outside it won’t really be seen.

The walkway into the bathroom is right in front of the bathtub.

Thank you for any advice!

I see the previous post now, Beverly. In that post, OP explains the right hand space is to be used for a washer/dryer area. OP hasn't come back to either thread yet.

(Haven't finished my coffee yet so perhaps this is why I'm not getting this dilemma.) Your current bathtub seems centred under the windows.Why do you want to remove one of windows? What do you have on your outside wall? Brick? Siding? Seems like an expensive reno for...what purpose exactly? I don't understand your goal here.

If you can share pictures of the whole bathroom with your goals, perhaps it will be clearer and people will have suggestions for you.

Why can't you just replace your current bathtub with a freestanding tub centered under the arched window? You need space around a freestanding tub for cleaning purposes. A ceiling painted a solid color or the same color as your walls would draw less attention to it. You can paint your window trim the same color as the walls too in order to bring less attention to the windows, including the arched one that draws you eye upwards toward the ceiling.

You posted the same photo twice, one with black marks, one without. That doesn’t help us. Show us the whole bathroom so we can offer ideas.
You will remove the half-round window....good. You will need to fix the exterior where that window was removed.
What do you plan to do there?
When you remove the monster tub, will you retile the whole bathroom?
The bathroom ceiling appears to be painted a different color than the walls. That accentuates the ceiling. Paint the walls and ceiling the same color to make the ceiling less obvious.

What is the purpose of the proposed wall where the X'd window is?

The cloud ceiling is drawing attention to itself.

You will spend four figures to remove those windows, repair drywall, rework interior trim, remove exterior trim, replace exterior siding and it will leave you with a funky off center tub. It seems unwise. We need to understand the entire project and what you are trying to accomplish by moving the tub.

Even a freehand sketch of the floor plan would be helpful to understand what the possibilities may be. Note any limitations i.e. plumbing, heating, vents that can't be moved, what floor this is on, is cost a factor, is this a gut-to-the-studs? DIY?
