Master bathroom finishes

6 years ago

would love some design help In our master bathroom! We r looking in to doing some bathroom updates.

we moved in 2 yrs ago but plan to sell again soon so want to update but not spend a fortune. We just recently changed out our master ceiling fixtures to polished nickel. Our bathroom is all oil rubbed bronze and I would like to bring in polished nickel into the bath. Should we replace all the oil rubbed bronze (even the shower head/faucets/tub faucets) or could We keep the shower and tub as is and just replace the lights, sink faucets and cabinet hardware to polished nickel? We do plan to paint the cabinetry more of an off white/cream just to update. Probably removed mirror with just a piece of glass to fit the space? we do not want to spend $ replacing tile floors or other tile around shower even though I don’t care for it. Would love some guidance!! Thank u

I would leave all the ORB minus the faucets and cabinet pulls. Its okay to mix metals but If you wanted to save money on cabinets or countertop I would at least remove the top tier granite shelf as suggested. New faucets, cabinet pulls, mirrors, sconces and paint. It is a very traditional bathroom so add some modern elements to bring it up to speed. Perhaps paint the vanities dark olive green and pure white quartz counters if you're feel adventurous.

I wouldn't worry about the fixtures, but I would remove the countertop on the vanity or even replace the entire vanity. IMO that is what dates the bathroom. I think those niches were a nice look with the vanity at the time they were put in, but not now. Maybe that back piece can be separated from the countertop.

Thank u for the suggestions! My master bedroom i switched out to polished nickel fixtures so what would u make polished nickel in the bathroom? Also we Plan to sell our house in a year or 2 so don’t want to invest too much but do realize we need to do some updating. I think to change the counters I have to have a builder remove the upper cabinetry and then put back? Could get messy!! Also If I take off the existing tier granite part then not sure what I do with the wall ? A backsplash? Would need to buy Just glass that goes down farther?

Also I have a lot of navy in my bedroom as much as I love green it would clash! Would u do like a navy with white quarts then? I just worry about resale with the colors?

I would just have the cabinetry painted off-white and replace the mirror with one that has a silver frame and would paint the adjacent bedroom in a light neutral color.

I would do polished nickel light fixtures, TP holder, towel racks, robe hooks and cabinet pulls. I suggested the olive green because it would go well with the Tuscan style. Although I love navy blue I don't think it suites this style. If you are worried about clashing keep it neutral. The travertine tile bathrooms become very tonal and it is hard finding a colour that pops so maybe do a neutral vanity colour and leave the counter as is. Once the top tier is removed the drywall will have to be repaired and painted. The mirror should be taller and which will cover most of this area. If you are doing a frameless unbeveled mirror, install it an inch off the wall to appear floating. For a big first impression a suggestion would be for the sink with the wall sconces can have a full height mirror installed in between the sconces from the counter to the ceiling. Modern choices for lights, fixtures and hardware go a long way.

I was afraid of that. I was going to ask if it had a valence connecting 2 towers.
