Warm Wood Vanity

dRemodeling

Everything inside the bathroom was removed and newly installed with a smaller Jacuzzi, new vanities with bigger cabinet space, and brand new state-of-the-art shower and heated flooring. The former monotone space was replaced with carefully selected color palette to create a spacious room of comfort. The construction process required the bathroom to be entirely stripped down to its wood frame. The wall separating the shower/toilet area and the remaining bathroom was taken away. The existing closet was demolished and rebuilt at two feet away from original location to create a bigger shower. Brand new heated flooring with programmable digital thermostat was installed, along with electrical work and new marble tiling. The replacement of the Jacuzzi required new plumbing and electrical lines, a new wood frame built specifically for the tub selected by the client, and a new granite top with new modern styled faucets and drains. The new vanities allowed for extra storage space and only necessary items around the sink area. The removal of the former pocket door created a brighter area for the shower/toilet and an easier flow of circulation. Inside the shower area, a whole new set of fixtures were installed including body sprays and faucets with thermostatic valve. The shower walls were finished with moisture resistant drywall, and the innovative built-in shelf allowed for a clutter-free shower space. It also has a new style of drain, which has the ability to handle high water flow, ideal for multiple body sprays in the new shower. Its lack of visible screws is also comfortable for the foot when showering. The final outcome of the bathroom remodeling was exactly what the client had been searching for: updated vanities and shower, more standing area, and detail designs of everything. All the fixtures throughout the bathroom have been replaced with a simple, modern design that better suits the client’s lifestyle. The entire color composition of the backsplash, mirror frame, countertop, cabinets and tiling added a comfortable and warm atmosphere to a better functioning room. Visit us at www.dremodeling.com!

Lifeguard Tower Home

Design + Build by Lazar

A Beacon of Light Steve Lazar grew up by the ocean and, as an avid surfer and a craftsman, he has always been inspired by seaside architecture. His latest home, The Lifeguard Tower, features an expansive living area and kitchen, four bedrooms, three full baths and a powder room in Hermosa Beach. The architecture is comprised of three trapezoidal structures, one atop the other. From the base, the residence narrows as it reaches the “look-out” tower room that gives way to a picturesque, 1,600-square-foot grass-covered entertainment and dining deck facing the ocean. At night, the tower glows like a beacon of light, as it is beautifully illuminated through multiple windows that surround the structure. Our Green Approach The Lifeguard Tower is also an experience in green living, as it incorporates the weatherworn reclaimed wood of a 100-year-old barn. Lazar has sheathed the house in such a way that it can breathe and endure the elements. The home also utilizes a sophisticated water filtration system and features on-demand radiant heating and air. Dual-glazed windows, coated with a shaded reflective film, will reflect the heat of the sun, keeping the residence cool year-round. These windows, coupled with the unusual 36-inch-long eaves custom designed by Lazar, create more shade than what is typically found in ordinary construction. Beachside Living at its Best Lazar has creatively and methodically managed to appeal to both traditional and contemporary architecture buffs with the Lifeguard Tower. It is a romantic gesture to the past and a simultaneous whimsical nod to contemporary California beachside living.

Master Suite Escape

Bradley Bowden Design, LLC

The large, open corner shower was created as a spa walk-in space. The Bisazza glass mosaic floor tile was used in the accessory niche as an accent. The walls in the shower are slab man-made material allowing a visually clean look to balance other textures. An added bonus is not having to worry about cleaning and performance of the grout on the walls over time. The two clearstory windows were incorporated to add outside light into the shower space.

Bathroom Design Ideas with Limestone Floors and Granite Benchtops

If you’re looking for bathroom ideas, look no further than Houzz. Our image gallery brings you a large range of photos with inspiration for your viewing pleasure, and not only that - you can also save your ideas in ideabooks and find the professional that has done the job. When planning your bathroom design or update, start by collecting images of designs you like and take it from there. Whether you are designing your bathroom from scratch, redesigning, updating or simply decorating, you’ll be sure to find ideas for every possible scenario. And once you're ready, you can find the architect and/or builder to get the job done. But let’s start with the bathroom design basics.

How to Plan Your Bathroom Design

A good bathroom design brings together beauty and functionality. It reflects your personality in its style, colours, fittings and fixtures, but serves your needs to a tee both when you’re getting ready for work in the morning and when you want to wind down in your bathtub after a long day.

1 Collect Bathroom Ideas to Decide on Your Layout

Firstly, consider your space. Is it rectangular or are you working with a long, narrow room? This will determine how many wet walls you can accommodate, and if a bathtub can fit. For example, in a narrow room a freestanding bathtub may not work, and a one-wall layout that lines up shower, toilet and vanity on the same wall will make sense in most cases. (It’s also the most budget-friendly option in terms of plumbing). Maybe separate rooms for toilet and shower make sense? Maybe you want to work with a window above a bathtub or in the shower. You may live in an old house where you can keep some of the original character of the home, or you may be working with a small apartment space. All these considerations are vital in deciding on which layout will work best for you. Have a look at some popular ideas to get started.

2 Consider How You Use Your Bathroom

Once you’ve gathered some inspiration, have a think about who is using the room, and how they will be using it. A single guy needs a lot less storage than a teenage girl, and a family bathroom may need to consider elderly family members. Making your bathroom wheelchair accessible could save you thousands down the line. You may also want to accommodate a washer and dryer in the bathroom, since it’s where clothes are taken off frequently. Also consider safety and cleaning. Ensure no-one will slip and hurt themselves, and consider that many little tiles will make for many little nooks for grime to accumulate, whereas big surfaces like a sink that is integrated with the vanity counter, or a big mirror will make wiping down the surface much easier than having sinks sitting on top or an intricately designed mirror.

3 Your Style Determines The Colours and Fixtures You Choose

When looking at bathroom photos on Houzz, you’ll probably lean towards a certain style pretty soon. Are you into rustic charm, modern beach house style or a mix of styles? This will determine if you opt for whites, greys and blues or if you go for dark cabinets, black floor tiles or bronze fixtures. Specifically, you want to consider:

Tiling

Are you going to tile floors and walls? There’s so many possibilities, from your choice of tile to how they are laid. If you’re budget conscious, you may want to consider a wallpaper or paint for certain areas. A simple grey tile can make room for other elements to shine, while mosaics or a subway tile can make a great feature wall.

Lighting

Lighting doesn’t only look pretty, but can impact your bathroom experience significantly. The mirror is a special area you want to light well, so that you don’t miss any hair when shaving or can apply that perfect line to your eye.

Furniture & Fixtures

Pay attention to how colours of cabinets and floor can impact a room. You may want to consider a wooden floor for something different and pair it with simple white vanity and cabinets, or you may want to go for the steampunk look with bronze tubes and black walls. Consider what type of shower, bathtub (if any), toilet, sink and vanity you want. Maybe you have space for a generous spa with walk-in shower, or maybe you want a freestanding bath to be the feature of the room.
