Exquisite Primary Bathroom Update – Darien, IL

This update involved keeping the existing floorplan while using new materials to bring the space up to date. Design objectives -Modernize the space -Use eye-catching tile -Vanity with more storage -Brighter finish on plumbing fixtures Design challenges: -Get more storage/functionality out of the same vanity space -Tile selection – finding the right combination for the large the space -Material selection – getting that wow-factor effect without being able to move walls or plumbing. This refresh was all about choosing materials with impact. -Bringing in more light in a space somewhat defined by an existing vaulted ceiling. Design solutions: -Removed the old built-in tub look and replaced it with a sleek freestanding tub -Continued the same tile from the shower walls behind the freestanding tub for a beautiful look on the back wall when you walk into the space -Created a vanity with undermount sinks, all at one level to gain more countertop space -Added floating shelves by the vanity – this added more options for decor and easy access to everyday items -Large-format tile = less visible grout
