San Francisco Victorian with Braun + Adams

Guest bathroom with antique vanity. Leaded glass window.

An original turn-of-the-century Craftsman home had lost it original charm in the kitchen and bathroom, both renovated in the 1980s. The clients desired to restore the original look, while still giving the spaces an updated feel. Both rooms were gutted and new materials, fittings and appliances were installed, creating a strong reference to the history of the home, while still moving the house into the 21st century.

This stained glass window was not original to the space. It was removed from a different house just before it was going to be torn down and installed in this house. It does a perfect job of letting light in with privacy. Photographer: John Wilbanks Interior Designer: Kathryn Tegreene Interior Design

The Cat's Meow

The Kitchen Studio of Glen Ellyn

Download our free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW This master bath remodel is the cat's meow for more than one reason! The materials in the room are soothing and give a nice vintage vibe in keeping with the rest of the home. We completed a kitchen remodel for this client a few years’ ago and were delighted when she contacted us for help with her master bath! The bathroom was fine but was lacking in interesting design elements, and the shower was very small. We started by eliminating the shower curb which allowed us to enlarge the footprint of the shower all the way to the edge of the bathtub, creating a modified wet room. The shower is pitched toward a linear drain so the water stays in the shower. A glass divider allows for the light from the window to expand into the room, while a freestanding tub adds a spa like feel. The radiator was removed and both heated flooring and a towel warmer were added to provide heat. Since the unit is on the top floor in a multi-unit building it shares some of the heat from the floors below, so this was a great solution for the space. The custom vanity includes a spot for storing styling tools and a new built in linen cabinet provides plenty of the storage. The doors at the top of the linen cabinet open to stow away towels and other personal care products, and are lighted to ensure everything is easy to find. The doors below are false doors that disguise a hidden storage area. The hidden storage area features a custom litterbox pull out for the homeowner’s cat! Her kitty enters through the cutout, and the pull out drawer allows for easy clean ups. The materials in the room – white and gray marble, charcoal blue cabinetry and gold accents – have a vintage vibe in keeping with the rest of the home. Polished nickel fixtures and hardware add sparkle, while colorful artwork adds some life to the space.

7,219 British Colonial Bathroom Design Ideas

One of the most common yet expensive spaces to design or renovate is the bathroom. This space is moving away from the idea of being a merely functional private zone to a relaxing room. All good bathroom designs start by addressing the layout, colour schemes, and bathroom tiles. A British Colonial bathroom design should tie all elements like layout and accessories to suit the overall design. After all, well-done bathrooms add value and comfort to your home. If you’re looking for bathroom ideas, look no further than Houzz Find inspiration from many bathroom images, showcasing various designs and ideas.

How do I determine my British Colonial bathroom design?

Bathroom layouts are tricky, so focus on the site and the needs of your family. Start by checking all the pipelines and plumbing. Also, try to use bathroom ideas that fit the existing electric and plumbing points or ensure they can be changed without much effort. Next, think about the other fixed asset placements like the sink, shower cubicle or bathtub, and the toilet. If you have multiple bathrooms, opt for a bathtub only in the master bath. This way you can ensure the other bathroom designs focus on storage.Also, make sure the toilet and shower cubicles are placed at a strategic distance to avoid a wet mess, or install floor-to-ceiling glass screens to create a barrier. Remember, all the British Colonial bathroom design ideas will center around the needs of your family, so if you have elderly people at home avoid a step at the entrance and always have a wide door. If you have children, think bathtubs.

What materials and accessories will enhance my bathroom design?

Stone, granite, and mosaic are the top choices for bathrooms because they have a good aesthetic appeal and are easy to maintain. You can achieve many different British Colonial bathroom ideas with theses finishings. Pick a bathroom colour scheme according to the mood you want this space to set. Dark jewel tones represent luxury while softer pastels will add a lively feel. Next, think about lighting, most Indian bathrooms have windows which serve as a source of natural light. If you have windows, think about a bath/ shower room under natural light, if you don’t, add lights to either side to amplify the effect. A bathroom renovation calls for upgrading to new fixtures. Bathroom fixtures like shower heads, hand showers, multi-way jets and faucets come in a variety of finishes and go a long way in enhancing the look,mood, and experience too.

How can I add more bathroom storage?

Bathroom furniture is a great way to add storage space. If you are looking for additional storage, adding a bathroom vanity is the way to go. Vanities are available in various sizes like oversized or double. Match the vanity and finishing style to ensure your bathroom interiors match. If you are looking to maximize the space, wall-mounted bathroom cabinets and ladder shelving are also good options.

How do I decorate my British Colonial bathroom?

No renovation is complete without adding the finishing touches; in this case the bathroom decor. In this particular room, any element can be used as decor. Add fixtures with finishes that match the style of the design you are trying to create, and coordinate soap dispensers, toothbrush holders and wastebaskets for a cohesive feel. If you have extra counter space, add some artwork or a plant (creeper or Bamboo). Explore bathroom mirror designs to elevate lighting and the overall look of the space. Look through many bathroom photos to get decor ideas that will help you stay in budget.
