An Extreme Master Bath Makeover
This dysfunctional and disjoint space received a badly needed, extreme makeover. The “before” had a cramped, poorly ventilated room that housed a small shower/tub combination, the toilet and the bidet; in the adjacent space, a dated vanity with only one sink, poor lighting, and two closets with non-optimal storage functionality. After reviewing, designing, and rendering 20-some possible layouts, what emerges is an oasis-like spa bath that befits the large master suite. The new bath centers around a beautiful tub for two--a jetted, heated model with self-cleaning capability. The tub surround and vanity counters are made from easily maintained quartz that looks like real marble in a creamy golden shade (Silestone ‘Caramel Rhine’). An oversized shower with sparkling glass walls is outfitted with an adjustable hand-shower, a rainfall showerhead, toiletry niches, and a teakwood bench. It is bathed in natural light during the day through a wide transom window. A generously sized vanity contains double sinks and provides storage for a dressing bench. Above the vanity, three medicine/toiletry cabinets hide behind the mirrors. Additional cabinetry includes three full-length, recessed units (two mirrored) in the main bath area and three wall cabinets in the water closet.
