Master bath with blue cabinets, freestanding tub and shower.

  Free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW   This client came to us wanting some help with updating the master bath in their home. Their primary goals were to increase the size of the shower, add a rain head, add a freestanding tub and overall freshen the feel of the space. The existing layout of the bath worked well, so we left the basic footprint the same, but increased the size of the shower and added a freestanding tub on a bit of an angle which allowed for some additional storage. One of the most important things on the wish list was adding a rainhead in the shower, but this was not an easy task with the angled ceiling. We came up with the solution of using an extra long wall-mounted shower arm that was reinforced with a meal bracket attached the ceiling. This did the trick, and no extra framing or insulation was required to make it work. The materials selected for the space are classic and fresh. Large format white oriental marble is used throughout the bath, on the floor in a herrinbone pattern and in a staggered brick pattern on the walls. Alder cabinets with a gray stain contrast nicely with the white marble, while shiplap detail helps unify the space and gives it a casual and cozy vibe. Storage solutions include an area for towels and other necessities at the foot of the tub, roll out shelves and out storage in the vanities and a custom niche and shaving ledge in the shower. We love how just a few simple changes can make such a great impact!

Master bathroom

Black and White bathroom with forest green vanity cabinets. Glass cabinet pulls with brass accents.

Zen and beautiful is actually what we designed. The long linear built-in cabinets and double modern sinks is not only functional but very modern. We love how the tub and shower flow effortlessly in the space.

Gorgeous master bathroom features a freestanding tub in front of a ship lap wall with a large window. The all white double vanity sits across a large walk in shower.

We carried the dark + moody hues into the powder room by adding a shiplap feature wall. The floating white oak vanity accents the chunky quartz countertop + backsplash. Adding a black wall mounted faucet to accent the black cup pulls grounds the space. This powder room also has a patterned cement tile floor!

Changing the size of the tile from the glass enclosed tub/ shower to the rest of this Master Suite allowed us to create a seamless transition between the two. His + her's vanities complete with a central make up station, stunning brass tub filler, separate toilet room and sliding barn doors, this ensuite mixes clean + crisp lines with soft, warm tones for the perfect balance.

The walk-in shower features gorgeous hardware, a built-in shelving area, and a corner bench enclosed in glass. The glass helps both the shower and the bathroom seem larger.
