Bathroom - Master Bath Remodel
the toilet in this bathroom could not be moved. Typically, Human would avoid a layout where you see the toilet when you first walk in, but in this case, he couldn’t avoid it. So instead of trying to force a toilet move, he worked to tone down the fixture and amp up the room’s beauty in other areas. “Now when you walk in, you really don’t notice the toilet as a focal point,” he says. “You notice all the subtle details and the beautiful tile work.”
Hide plumbing – display nice things Another opportunity for adding open storage is around a bath. Here, Ripples Bathrooms has created a ledge along the edge of this tub for pipework and to accommodate a chimney breast. Shelving and a low-level niche provide surfaces for plants, candles and good-looking essentials. A great touch here is that the niche contains two downlights, making for a spa-like experience for after-dark bathing. ? Add stained glass windows with up-lights (or from left side for evening feel) in shelving attachment (paint Center before installation) so not seen from clawfoot tub

A Copper Keeper A North Carolina homeowner turned her tub into a vintage beauty with a DIY project. Here’s how she achieved this vintage copper look: First, she painted the outside of the tub black. She then sponged copper metallic paint over the black. (It can sometimes take more than one coat.) To create the vintage look, she added a few verdigris highlights. Next, she wiped on a layer of antiquing craft paint. She recommends that you reapply the copper, verdigris or glaze as needed to get the desired look. She didn’t add a sealant over the outside because she liked the dull look, but she says you could add one, especially if you want a glossy finish. Tip: Allow several days to complete this project as each coat of paint will need time to dry thoroughly. The homeowner recommends letting each layer of paint dry for at least a day before applying another.
After: Blending a sense of fun with a traditional style befitting an old farmhouse was a goal for Lindsey Young of Designs by Dawn. She recommended Schumacher’s happily colored Chiang Mai Dragon wallpaper, based on a 1920s Art Deco print, and had the existing claw-foot tub painted to coordinate with the paper and the accent shade in the nearby kitchen. The tub now stands on a slate tile floor. Painted wainscoting of horizontal wood planks not only reduces the amount of wallpaper required, but also offers better moisture resistance.
After: To beef up storage, Nelson recessed two shampoo niches and two cabinets in the walls, concealing the cabinets behind framed artwork. A shorter tub behind a glass shower panel left room for a handy ledge opposite the shower controls. Touches of brass from the light fixture, mirror frame, towel holder and Kohler’s Purist faucets warm up the white-and-gray palette. A top-down, bottom-up cellular shade offers both light and privacy.
After: Lining the walls with a large-format, marble-effect porcelain tile went a long way toward giving the room an airy, luxurious feel. Interior designer Jaimie Nelson broke up the 1-by-2-foot tile’s straight lines by using marble hexagonal tile on the floor — made all the easier to see and clean by a floating vanity and a slim skirted toilet.
Before: Except for a medicine cabinet, this 36½-square-foot Minneapolis master bathroom had almost no storage, forcing the homeowners to balance toiletries on the grab bars and pile them under the console sink. The basic square wall tile had prominent grout lines that were hard to keep clean. It also didn’t extend very far up the walls of the unusually long alcove tub.
Don’t love open shelving? Use that niche space for an inset cabinet and get all that functional storage without having a large object protruding into the room at eye level. This will make the vanity area feel much more open and give you lots of extra elbow room. Keep in mind that plumbing, studs and other hidden conditions can affect where you can and can’t add a niche, so you should definitely talk to a professional before planning to open any walls.
space-saving pocket door separates it from the bedroom. A claw-foot tub, traditional-style furnishings and Carrara marble countertops exude classic style, while a wall-mounted towel warmer adds some modern luxury.

The claw foot tub. The cabinetry. The armoire painted to match the cabinets. The floor. The glass shower.
“Mix your stylesWho said cobbled flooring, a space-age-style light fitting and a classic, claw-footed bath don’t belong in the same room? Juxtaposing influences is a key principle of eclectic décor, and tying disparate elements together using a common thread can make anything work.”
clunky wood vanity had taken up valuable floor space in the 6-foot by 10-foot room, making it feel closed in. Giannasio knew it was important to keep the floor as clear as possible to make the room look bigger. A pedestal sink and a claw-foot tub keep the floor open. Classic black and white tiles suit the home’s vintage
Treat your bathroom like a living room When your bathroom contains a fireplace and original wooden flooring, like this one designed by ARCHEA, you’re already ahead when it comes to including character. However, these details have really been built upon here with confidence and style. Deep colours – the dark green walls, inky floor and mustard bath – bring to mind Victorian interiors and nod to the era of the building, while picking out the fireplace, window and sanitaryware in white enhances the classic feel. The introduction of a rug, artwork, plants and a vintage sideboard and light fitting complete the look, creating a space as welcoming as any Victorian sitting room.
