Leaving clear and clean spaces makes a world of difference - even in a limited area. Using the right color(s) can change an ordinary bathroom into a spa like experience.

ASID Design Excellence First Place Residential – Kitchen and Bathroom: Michael Merrill Design Studio was approached three years ago by the homeowner to redesign her kitchen. Although she was dissatisfied with some aspects of her home, she still loved it dearly. As we discovered her passion for design, we began to rework her entire home for consistency including this bathroom.

Design ideas for a large contemporary master bathroom in Vancouver with flat-panel cabinets, dark wood cabinets, a curbless shower, white tile, gray tile, a drop-in tub, stone slab, white walls, concrete floors, an integrated sink, solid surface benchtops, white benchtops and a shower seat.

The statuary marble walls and porcelain tile floor give this master bath a sophisticated and sleek modern look. The unique details, Decotec vanities, Robern mirrors, Dornbracht faucets and stainless steel towel warmers, highlight this fabulous room. Complete with the oval free standing porcelain tub, it is a luxurious space to come home to thanks to our Princeton Design Build team.

Our goal on this project was to create a live-able and open feeling space in a 690 square foot modern farmhouse. We planned for an open feeling space by installing tall windows and doors, utilizing pocket doors and building a vaulted ceiling. An efficient layout with hidden kitchen appliances and a concealed laundry space, built in tv and work desk, carefully selected furniture pieces and a bright and white colour palette combine to make this tiny house feel like a home. We achieved our goal of building a functionally beautiful space where we comfortably host a few friends and spend time together as a family. John McManus
