Remodeling our bathroom

13 years ago
last modified: 13 years ago
We are looking for ideas for our bathroom project. I am horrible with design and decorating, so I would love some ideas. This bathroom is used, primarily by our kids and their friends. They are ages 14-16.

    Could you please draw up a little plan? I'm a little confused over the layout, where the windows and doors are.

    Thank you so much. I apologize for not having better pictures, etc. Your ideas are wonderful and will certainly be put to use. I appreciate your time.

    It would be fun to have a shower in the dormer with a full glass door (your picture: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/remodeling-our-bathroom-dsvw-vd~364010). A double sink where the bath used to be and a bath under the sloped ceiling. Attach a lid on the bath that opens like a hatch, so it can be sat on when unused.
    When you build a shower with a slightly higher floor, the drain could go around the corner (cove) towards the bath.

    And I'd suggest neutral flooring and white/neutral tiles halfway up (with a bold bright color on top?). A double sink has a major plus; drawers and towels in the middle, both kids have their own space.

    pretty decent bathroom. it just needs livening up with colours, wall art/paintings & some organization for all your items on the counter... pick silver/metallic along with turquoise coloured items etc to decorate.. plus those knobs are too plain, add metallic/steel/silverish knobs on drawers.. mirror is too small for the counter n an awkward shape to have with that inclined roof. get a round or oval large mirror with metallic sides to create harmony with that inclined roof. note mirror in pic:

    buy counter decor in silver plus add a turquoise coloured glass bottle for artificial flowers on counter.. add grey floor mats.

    take this as your inspiration for overall bathroom:

    note that dividing the walls using a strip and painting the lower portion with a different colour will fill up all those empty walls for you easilyyyy. your current blue needs brighter blue like in the photo.

    you can hang your tower rail near counter like in this pic to clear that wall:

    deal with that other space shown in your other discussion for same bathroom like this with such a fancy wall paper with such a wooden shelf minus the sink, right below your window, place a lidded laundry basket beneath it, as shown here:

    I didn't see this when I commented on your alcove but in keeping with that idea, I would put a large round rug in the center of the room. Put a dresser or storage unit under the window between the shower and stool. Oval or round mirror with sconces over sink. Small chandelier over the dressing table in alcove small sconce on small wall around corner from door near shower.

    like the idea of the rug & chandelier. but chandelier would be nice in the junction of the three extended arms of the room..

    Your three posts are becoming quite confusing, Steph. I'd like to see your feedback on reactions, but now we need to move forward and back to see posts..

    What did you come up with so far?
    And when you said remodeling, to what extend? What is your goal and budget?
