Search results for "Space hogging" in Home Design Ideas

Sometimes the shape and size of a space is great but the details inside seem wrong. That was what my clients thought about their primary bathroom in their newly purchased mountain home. As only the second owners of this large house built in the early 90s, they were eager to be rid of an array of artifacts from that period: a wall of glass bricks at the shower; a huge Jacuzzi tub and deck; and an odd, unnecessary run of shelving about a foot down from the ceiling line. These clients spent many years living on the east coast and brought with them a wonderful classical sense for their interiors—so I created a space that would give them that feeling of Classicism while simultaneously feeling fresh and current.
To start we chose a cooler color palette for the entire space. Tiles that look like Statuario marble are set off by a white and blue marble Arabesque mosaic medallion in the center of the room.
Once the space-hogging Jacuzzi tub was removed, I was able to fit larger, dueling vanities in a lovely French green (a grey with a slight, cool olive tone). These furniture-style units feature a breakfront sink base flanked by fluted columns topped with rosettes. A sculptural, contemporary tub now sits in the alcove looking out over the lush hillside.
The Neo-Classicism of the Georgian aesthetic inspired my choices for light fixtures. The central chandelier and vanity sconces feature glass finials and simplified flourishes.
We removed the glass bricks and rebuilt the entire shower to accommodate a linear drain, making it a true zero-clearance shower without a curb. My clients are now able to waltz into the shower without navigating oddly placed walls and an unusually high step into the pan.
Even the adjacent make-up vanity got a make-over—and a beverage refrigerator concealed by a panel of the same French green--to blend with the new, lighter style of the space. Finally, I designed custom Roman shades in a stunning embroidered material of cream and aqua to complete the room. The high style of the space references the past while reveling in a current moment of comfort and convenience.

Our client embarked on a complete backyard and deck renovation project to maximize the breathtaking mountain views. The new, larger deck was to be a total of 588 SF with a Trex RainEscape below. This allows the homeowner to double their outdoor living space. During the design phase, our client expressed a desire for a distinctive 4'-wide, closed step staircase. Rather than protruding from the side of the deck, we designed a staircase integrated into the deck itself . The owner opted to use Deckorators Voyage Sedona for the decking material, with single dividing boards to eliminate butt-seams and end boards to provide a polished appearance. Enhancing the the visual appeal is a WildHog steel deck railing with 3" posts and 4" grid panels.

This 25-year-old builder grade bathroom was due for a major upgrade in both function and design. The jetted tub was a useless space hog since it did not work and leaked. The size of the shower had been dictated by the preformed shower pan and not the desire of the homeowner. All materials and finishes were outdated.
The Bel Air Construction team designed a stunning transformation for this large master bath that includes improved use of the space, improved functionality, and a relaxing color scheme.

Previously a utilitarian space with hog wire gates, gravel, and scattered storage, this side yard in Davis has been thoughtfully redesigned into a welcoming garden pathway. The flagstone pavers were creatively repurposed from a small, seldom-used backyard patio and now form a charming path connecting the front and back yards. Inviting plantings, natural mulch, and a view framed by terracotta vessels create a serene passageway that feels like a destination. What was once just a pass-through is now a peaceful, beautiful part of the home’s landscape.

This four level TimberTech Terrain deck features a main deck that wraps around half of the house, a utility deck that leads to a brick walkway, an upper dry deck that protects the utility deck from rain using TimberTech DrySpace, and a garden deck that looks over the picturesque landscape. To provide an unobstructed view, the homeowners chose to combine hog panels with painted cedar handrails.
