Troutdale Bathroom Remodel

Specktacular Home Remodeling

We always recommend our clients think about how they will use their home in years to come - and that's just what this couple did! They were ready to remodel their master bathroom in their forever home and wanted to make sure they could enjoy it as long as possible. By removing the unused soaking tub, we were able to create a large, curbless walk-in shower with a relaxing area by the window. This master bathroom is the perfect size for this pair to enjoy now and in the future! And they even have extra room to display some of their sentimental art they've collected over the years. We really appreciate the opportunity to serve them and hope they enjoy the space for years to come.

This beautiful living room is the definition of understated elegance. The space is comfortable and inviting, making it the perfect place to relax with your feet up and spend time with family and friends. The existing fireplace was resurfaced with textured large, format concrete-looking tile from Spain. The base was finished with a distressed black tile featuring a metallic sheen. Eight-foot tall sliding doors lead to the back, wrap around deck and allow lots of natural light into the space. The existing sectional and loveseat were incorporated into the new design and work well with the velvet ivory accent chairs. The space has two timeless brass and crystal chandeliers that genuinely elevate the room and draw the eye toward the ten-foot-high tray ceiling with a cove design. The large area rug grounds the seating area in the otherwise large living room. The details in the room have been carefully curated and tie in well with the brass chandeliers.

Transitional Powder Room Design Ideas with Glass Sheet Wall

Think of your powder room as a small bathroom that’s always on display. Likely to be frequented by guests or used as a second bathroom by family members, it should always look its best. Consisting of little more than a vanity, toilet and sink, you could be mistaken that transitional powder room designs are easy to execute, but the tight space can be tricky to get right. As you plan your bathroom renovation, consider the following.

How do I plan the layout of my powder room?

If you're building from scratch, an architect may be the best person to ask. There are three main objects to consider when planning the layout of your transitional powder room: the door, toilet and sink. Pocket, sliding or folding doors will give you more options for toilet and sink placement, while wall-mounted toilets will help save you a few inches of floor space, and make the room feel more spacious. To ensure ease of use, make sure the toilet has at least 38 centimetres of unobstructed space on either side, and 61 centimetres at the front. Powder rooms are primarily a place to use the toilet and quickly wash your hands, so unless you have the square meterage, you don’t need a full-blown vanity. Look for compact options, like a pedestal or wall-mounted sink instead.

What materials should I use in my powder room?

There’s not much space to work with when designing a transitional powder room, so keep your design fairly simple. Otherwise, too many different patterns and textures will quickly overwhelm the space. To avoid a disjointed design, opt for one statement piece or element, such as a fun splashback, benchtop or vanity, and choose subtle materials like stone, marble or granite for everything else. If you fear you haven’t created enough visual interest, fill the void with bathroom accessories such as hand towels and soap dispensers. High-quality bathroom fixtures – including everything from your toilet roll holder to faucet – with matching lines and style, will make a big difference in a such a small space, so if you have the budget, splurge a little!
