Master bath major remodel

5 years ago

last modified: 5 years ago

Greetings fellow Houzz designers:

Planning a major master bath remodel this summer. Pretty sure I will have a floating vanity (6 huge drawers) quartz top vanity nearly identical to photo below. Prefer 2 mirrors (over the double sinks) instead of full wall mirror.

I welcome your suggestions for wallpaper, (on vanity wall only) lighting sconces, vanity 7’ rug runner patterns, floor/ shower tiles, and your opinion of this floating vanity and freestanding tub in general.

Color scheme of marble, gray, white, and little teal (from adjoining master bedroom). FYI...bedroom carpet (not replacing) connects through short walkway (his and her separate closets) directly with tile at bathroom floor (pocket door opening). It’s is a medium beige tan cream color with same color “diamond cut pattern.” Should new bathroom “marble” gray and white tile floor incorporate beige/golds to blend with carpet or okay with just grays and white tile?

Floor tile placement pattern suggestions?

Is herringbone too busy? Use different tile patterns on floor? Planning faux marble non-slip porcelain floor tiles (unsure of tile size) throughout along with shower tiles —still undecided on two walls (accent shower shelf tile openings all up in the air). Should tiles extend upward on non shower walls throughout?

What is your experience with freestanding tubs? Any suggestions and pictures are welcome especially with the current gray and white marble bathroom color trends.

I’ve added my “2 cents” on various recent Houzz design kitchen question posts so reaching out for the first time to you all.

It’s entertaining and a nice distraction for a few minutes each day from our temporary quarantined existence. Sad 😔 but we will become stronger and kinder from all of this!!

Many thanks!! Stay safe during this pandemic and wish you all well!

Mary

Hi, I took a look at your bathroom idea book and here's my thoughts on some common elements.

You seem to like vertical sconces. I recommend a visit to a good lighting store once you have your floor plan finalized. I find lighting stores have excellent advice, often pick up on things to watch out for that I never would have thought of and will price match anything online.

The vast majority of your ideabook pictures have no contrast and I didn't see any wallpaper. What were you imagining for wall paper? A texture of a very subtle print?

I like the floating vanity a lot. I've never had a freestanding tub but love the idea of one. Will you use it a lot? A friend installed one and used it a few times and realized she liked the look of it better than the use of it. For her it became a expensive folly. Do you have a tankless water heater? If not, will your water heater support what is needed to fill the tub?

I wouldn't worry about incorporating beige into the bathroom. The carpet isn't permanent and may change some day and you really seem to like the overall grey bathrooms without beige.

I don't see that any of your ideabook phots have herringbone so not sure if that's what really strikes you. If you go with the overall marble look, i think herringbone is too busy.

Hope that helps.

Many thanks..most of my saved photos for bathroom remodel ideas are on Pinterest.

Wallpaper ideas are gray with white ...modern abstract art, white trees or blossoms, with sheen. I plan on using the freestanding tub about 5 times a week. Have a pretty big tub now and new hot water heater that can handle filling a large tub..not sure about the freestanding tub at 70x32 inch size.. Will research this. Thanks again for your feedback.

Just a thought, you might get more responses if you narrow the post down to one or two items for feedback. You will likely get what you need, it will just take several postings. It's an exciting remodel and I really like the direction.
