Alluring Aubergine The deep shade of purple on this double vanity provides a regal touch to a Beverly Hills, California, bathroom by Lindsay Chambers Design. Painted paneled walls, shaded wall sconces and gold-framed mirrors are among the other highlights of the space.

Bathroom of the Week: Classic Style Revives a Cramped 1920s Relic

Let me tell you my story of building out a second floor master bedroom over a one-story kitchen. I'm in a suburb of NYC, so factor that into the equation. But it's going to be WAY more expensive than just renovating within the footprint of the room you have now. I'm not sure where you are located, but even in a low cost of living area the costs will add up very quickly. We added a 10' x 10' extension to our 5' x 5' original master bath in our 1924 Colonial Revival home. Here's what we needed to do, total cost for labor and materials was about $110,000: Architect, survey and permits Bulk up the foundation and ceiling in the room below Framing, siding, roofing for extension Extend heating and A/C into new room rough plumbing and electrical (including GFCI outlets and dimmer switches) Add to alarm system for new room 2 vanities/sinks, custom cabinetry on a 10' wall marble flooring and counter tops/backsplash porcelain tile on shower walls separate commode room/new commode cathedral ceiling decorative lighting--pendant, 4 sconces, 2 fan-lights, 2 recessed halogens 4 new windows, one with a custom leaded glass insert recessed panel wood-working on all walls custom medicine cabinets and mirrors small clothes closet polished nickel hardware/decorative plumbing fittings window treatments professional painting We did not move the toilet, as that opens up a host of problems with the waste line; we just turned it 45 degrees. We did not do radiant heating in the floor, we had to draw the line somewhere and that was another $3,000 we didn't want to spend. So to answer your question, it will be much more to add on, depending on where you live, the finishes you choose, and any unforeseen problems that can crop up in an old home. If you feel you have enough room now, then work with what you have. If you need more room, and have the budget and the time to devote to a very large project, then consider adding on. We decided that we wanted to add on and invest the funds to do it just the way we want, because, like you, we are not planning on moving any time soon. Here is the result:

This Master bathroom we call it the fantasy bathroom, with open design let in natural light and intriguing materials create drama. Removed a unwanted fireplace to expand the shower and now the shower is a walk in dream that has 2 fixed shower heads and a hand held for ease in cleaning.

Utah-based design firm Studio McGee used a pair of distressed silver leaf mirrors and an antique brass double sconce set against a deep greenish-gray accent wall to make this bathroom feel open and airy.

The claw-foot tub alone makes this posh bathroom stand out. Add in antique-style mirrors, sizable chandeliers, of-the-moment gray cabinets and a flood of natural light and the room is even more striking.

This remodel went from a tiny corner bathroom, to a charming full master bathroom with a large walk in closet. The Master Bathroom was over sized so we took space from the bedroom and closets to create a double vanity space with herringbone glass tile backsplash. We were able to fit in a linen cabinet with the new master shower layout for plenty of built-in storage. The bathroom are tiled with hex marble tile on the floor and herringbone marble tiles in the shower. Paired with the brass plumbing fixtures and hardware this master bathroom is a show stopper and will be cherished for years to come.

Lighting types used: Overhead, wall sconces, undercabinet, accent Why it works: The recessed cove light well provides soft general overhead light, and the wall sconce mounted on the mirror is a great way to get nice, even light on you at face level.The undercabinet light makes the vanity appear to be floating, while the shampoo niche uses accent lights to illuminate the space. Pro tip: Floating vanities are great for making a space appear larger and more open. This can be easily achieved by installing undercabinet or toe-kick lighting with LED strip lighting. Not only does the room feel grander, but it also gives you another layer of lighting to control to create a spa-like feel.

50-Square-Foot Bathroom Goes From Dark to Light

remember to add niche in master bathroom next to toilet Nice niches. Whether single stems or a bouquet, flowers offer a bit of changing color and soft texture that complement all of those unchanging colors and hard surfaces. So introducing niches for flowers in unexpected places, like by the bath vanity, is a way to introduce a bit of variety and unexpected delight.
