Help me with my master bath renovation!

last year

I'm struggling to come up with a new layout for our master bathroom, specifically what to do with the space where the tub currently is. We don't want a bathtub and we want to keep the shower in the same place that it currently is (making it bigger). Help! I'm not creative.

    Hi H C! I’d be happy to help with your master bath renovation. Here are some ideas for maximizing your space and achieving a fresh layout without the bathtub:

    1. Remove the bathtub: Since you don’t want a tub, consider replacing it with a spacious walk-in shower. This allows you to expand the shower area while creating a more open and luxurious feel. A glass enclosure can enhance the sense of space and light.
    2. Dual showerheads: To add a touch of luxury, think about installing dual showerheads or a rainfall showerhead with a handheld option. This can elevate your shower experience and make it feel like a spa retreat.
    3. Vanity space: Use the area where the tub was to create a larger vanity or additional storage. A floating vanity can make the space feel lighter and more modern. You can also add under-cabinet lighting to brighten the area.
    4. Storage solutions: Incorporate built-in shelves or cabinets in the space previously occupied by the tub. This could be a great spot for towels, toiletries, or decorative items, helping keep the bathroom organized.
    5. Tile and lighting choices: Select large-format tiles for the shower and floor to create a seamless look. Consider using a lighter color palette to make the space feel larger. Layered lighting with dimmers will allow you to create a relaxing atmosphere.
    6. Personal touches: Add elements that reflect your personal style, such as artwork, plants, or decorative mirrors. These can enhance the overall ambiance and make the space feel more inviting.

    Your best bet is to create a shower in the tub area and a linen closet in the current shower space.

    Thank you, both, for the ideas! We unfortunately do not want to have to deal with changing out the exterior window etc. to put a shower where the bathtub currently is. Storage there would probably be ideal since we don’t have a linen closet in the bathroom!!

    I would put one vanity in front of the window and one where the current one is. The shower can be made bigger and even space for storage. There are lots of inspiration photos on here where vanities face windows.
