In this masterbath renovation we removed the shower and tub and redesigned this bathroom with a tile shower and makeup vanity area. The cabinets are Medallion Cherry cabinets with natural finish in the Potter’s Mill door style. The countertop is Uba Tuba 2cm Granite with 2 rectangular biscuit sinks accented with Moen Brantford Collection Chrome 2 handle faucets and new vanity lights. The shower tile is American Olean Avante Ceramic porcelain shower wall tile, on the floor of the shower is Island Stone Absolute Pebbles. And on the bathroom floor is Avante porcelain floor tile.

Inside this master bathroom, you'll find: his and hers vanity separated by a makeup counter top (with space for a chair below); furniture style vanities with feet; full wall mirror with wall sconce lighting; glass shower enclosure; soaking tub; his and hers walk in closets; separate toilet room.

We like to use drawer organizers in the bathroom to help keep your make-up organized and clean. Using liner in bathroom drawers helps keep them clean.

Neutral body color with white trim and a darker version of the body color as an accent work well with the surrounding homes and the shingle shake roof.

A spa-like, luxury mater bathroom can exist in a small space. Here a 6'x9' NYC bathroom space was transformed from ordinary to splendidly right for a couple relocating to the City. This bathroom renovation was part of a full-scale Manhattan apartment renovation. The existing bathroom space was slightly expanded by relocating two partitions and carefully balancing the space needs for the adjacent bedroom and living room. The resulting bathroom space is luxurious and elegant and includes plenty of storage and a comfortable make-up vanity perfectly suited to the lady of the house. Photo Credit: Jesse Epstein

THE SETUP This client lives in a great high-rise condo in downtown Chicago. Alicia has already remodeled a few areas of her home, including her kitchen and home office. The bathroom is one of the last big places the client wanted to update. The existing bathroom had a large, outdated whirlpool tub in the corner. It was a darker space that had a lack of natural light. There are no windows (due to the bathroom’s location within the high-rise building). So, the idea was to brighten up the space and give the client an updated, elegant primary bathroom that is more her style and tailor-made for her routines. Design Objectives: - Make the space brighter. - Create different daily routine stations to maximize functionality while keeping things clutter-free – a makeup station, a blow-dry station, and a sink-needs station. - Achieve the client’s specific style and function needs while also keeping the look and design open to future possibilities: different users of the space/resale clients. Design Challenges: - Toilet cannot be moved. (In a high-rise, you can’t really move plumbing around too much when reimagining a space) - Existing bathroom had a soffit that hid a lot of electrical wiring, so completely removing the soffit wasn’t an option. - The blow-dry station needs to accommodate the client’s preference for standing up. - Finding a place for the make-up station, which the client wants oriented for sitting. - Create storage within the shower that can eliminate the clutter of personal care products that are actually needed every day. Do this, while keeping the client’s favorite things about the existing shower: the shower bench, a tub filler faucet (for rinsing shaving cream when shaving legs) and a low niche for placing her foot when shaving her legs. THE RENEWED SPACE Design Solutions: - Extended a bit of wall near the toilet to give the commode its own area within the space, but without closing it off into a claustrophobic WC. - Worked within the reality of the existing soffit situation, reshaping it to align with the new shower. Can lights were also added. Installed a beautiful ceiling light fixture that works within the new soffit shape, commanding attention and adding light, as if the sofit shape was chosen for it. - Created a nice, furniture-looking 42”-high cabinet with pullout drawers to be the blow-dry station, complete with a mirror and a nice top. The pullout drawers are all powered, concealing a Dyson dryer and curling iron (and all the accoutrements) while keeping them plugged in, which is ideal for easy usage and put away. A stylish mirror on the wall above the cabinet, and proper lighting, make this the perfect blow-dry station. The top has a grommet that can accommodate a power cord should the client ever want to have a powered device on top of the cabinet. - Put the sit-down makeup station where the tub used to be, putting the mirror back into a new recessed wall just a bit, allowing the area to have more room. - Created a niche in the shower’s inner wall so that you can’t see it unless you are literally inside the shower. At the client’s request, it also has a hook so she can hang her loofa. Hiding the utility niche in this way allowed us to use the full main wall of the shower as a canvas for a beautiful accent stripe of raised decorative tile. The new shower has her old favorites, too: the tub filler, foot niche and bench. Alicia’s client loves her new primary bathroom, especially the blow dry area. It is very accommodating for her, as a tall lady, while being very easy to use. The drawers store everything. Being powered, they make using already-plugged in appliances very easy to use and put away. Her previous makeup station was a freestanding vanity with a single drawer, so beauty products were all over the surface top. With her new makeup station, everything is nicely tucked away and organized in drawers. The new lighting is fantastic and the colors are light and soft. The clients loves the overall look and feel of her new bathroom and raves about how well the functionality-minded design makes her morning routine – and her life – easier and enjoyable!

Creating a warm and inviting make up studio in a small space doesn't have to feel stuffy or "break the bank". The "pièce de ré·sis·tance", light grey velvet tufted settee adds a truly luxe feel without overcrowding the space. White velvet drapes adorn the windows and doors to allow for much needed natural makeup light. A makeup day wouldn't be complete without "champs" stored on a glass & gold bar cart. The grey & white shag area rug welcomes naked toes. Plenty of product storage shelving and seating at the dining table for makeup parties and lessons.

A bathroom remodel to give this space an open, light, and airy feel features a large walk-in shower complete with a stunning 72’ Dreamline 3-panel frameless glass door, two Kohler body sprayers, Hansgrohe Raindance shower head, ceiling light and Panasonic fan, and a shower niche outfitted with Carrara Tumbled Hexagon marble to contrast with the clean, white ceramic Carrara Matte Finish tiled walls. The rest of the bathroom includes wall fixtures from the Kohler Forte Collection and a Kohler Damask vanity with polished Carrara marble countertops, roll out drawers, and built in bamboo organizers. The light color of the vanity along with the Sherwin Williams Icelandic Blue painted walls added to the light and airy feel of this space. The goal was to make this space feel more light and airy, and due to lack of natural light was, we removed a jacuzzi tub and replaced with a large walk in shower.

The quartz countertops were selected for durability, aesthetics, and low-maintenance. They were designed intentionally into the bathroom, the laundry closet, shower niche, and the pony wall creating a seamless look. Four sconces were perfectly placed above the vanity providing even lighting for makeup application and shaving. The paint selection, 'Snip of Tannin' from Kelly Moore, expertly tied the room together.
