Saddle River Master

Thyme & Place Design LLC

Peter Rymwid Architectural Photography. A total remodel to the second floor of the home allowed for complete redesign of the master suite including the master bathroom. Priority number one for this new master bath was to create an environment where the client could close the door to escape and recharge. For this an oversized air tub for two and a generous steam shower were absolute necessities. By placing the tub on a bed of flat cut river stone tiles a feeling of floating on a pond is created. The windows above the tub were left unadorned to bring more of the outside in from the private acreage beyond the windows The same tile is repeated on the shower floor. A large bench tucked into the shower allows the user to stretch out and enjoy the steam. Privacy for this young professional family was also an important feature. A separate commode room mirrors the shape of the shower and a recessed entrance to the bath creates privacy from the bedroom. Easy care porcelain tiles are used on the floor and wall behind the vanity. The same crisp white subway tile pattern is repeated in the shower. A white vanity with strong furniture lines and details provides all the storage you could want. Easy maintenance quartz counter tops repeat the white and grey marble patterned floor tiles. Beautiful framed mirrors reflect light throughout the room. Black crystal knobs adorn the cabinets and continue the black accent details. Polished chrome fittings and light fixtures with crystal accents add to the glam while the black shades and color accents provide the edge. Granite, a rich paint color from Benjamin Moore adds just the right amount of dramatic color to the walls. The subtle glimmer of glass tile and crystal details combined with the black color of the flat stone tile and the cabinet hardware meld the world of glamorous luxury and edgy style.

Hazy Retreat

Jarrett Design

Downsizing doesn’t have to mean compromising. This master bath remodel proved to be quite the opposite. The homeowners’ wish list was actually exceeded. Wish we could say that for every project! Not only did the new design accomplish the generous his and her vanities and large shower they desired, but we were able to achieve a semi-private water closet by incorporating a tall armoire, providing extra storage as a bonus. Some aging in place features were added without detracting from the beauty. The finished room feels spacious and bright. Crisp white cabinetry, warm counter tops, and gorgeous tile are inviting and relaxing in this hazy retreat. Matt Villano Photography

15th St NW Washington, DC

Bath + Kitchen

Built in 1929, this condo on 15th St NW near Logan Circle was originally constructed as a church. Here are some items shown in the photos that you may want to consider for your remodeling project: +The bathroom includes a new 400 pound cast iron tub. As you can see it was quite the effort hauling the tub up a flight of stairs. If you like long hot baths cast iron is the way to go as it's great at retaining heat. +A mounted medicine cabinet with SteroStik speakers on the sides for your bathroom. It's a great way to jump start your day with music or catch up on your news. +A double towel bar to maximize space. +A shower package that includes a fixed shower head and handheld. The handheld is great for keeping your tub or shower clean. +A toilet topper cabinet for storing your extra storage needs. +A quartz counter top. With quartz you won't have to worry about re-sealing every year. +For the window we installed waterproof blinds. Here are more specifics on the materials, beveled subway tile from Daltile, and a marble floor tile with accent from The Tile Shop. The cabinetry is fromWOLF, fixtures are the Kohler Bancroft series, and paint is from Sherwin-Williams for Your Home for Your Home.

A face lift for a bungalow built in 1968

Tracy Berman Interiors

This 1968 single story bungalow had great bones but serious design and storage issues. The kitchen had a drop ceiling and a door that lead into the guest bedroom. The peninsula and cabinet overhang made the kitchen feel small and crowded. A few too many DIY projects made for a mess of style! The bathrooms had never been updated, the closets were in the wrong spots and all the lighting fixtures were dated. A face lift was in order!

Bathroom Design Ideas with Purple Walls and Engineered Quartz 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.
