Charming Traditional Guest Bath in Glen Ellyn

TKS Design Group

Download our free ebook, Creating the Ideal Kitchen. DOWNLOAD NOW This charming little attic bath was an infrequently used guest bath located on the 3rd floor right above the master bath that we were also remodeling. The beautiful original leaded glass windows open to a view of the park and small lake across the street. A vintage claw foot tub sat directly below the window. This is where the charm ended though as everything was sorely in need of updating. From the pieced-together wall cladding to the exposed electrical wiring and old galvanized plumbing, it was in definite need of a gut job. Plus the hardwood flooring leaked into the bathroom below which was priority one to fix. Once we gutted the space, we got to rebuilding the room. We wanted to keep the cottage-y charm, so we started with simple white herringbone marble tile on the floor and clad all the walls with soft white shiplap paneling. A new clawfoot tub/shower under the original window was added. Next, to allow for a larger vanity with more storage, we moved the toilet over and eliminated a mish mash of storage pieces. We discovered that with separate hot/cold supplies that were the only thing available for a claw foot tub with a shower kit, building codes require a pressure balance valve to prevent scalding, so we had to install a remote valve. We learn something new on every job! There is a view to the park across the street through the home’s original custom shuttered windows. Can’t you just smell the fresh air? We found a vintage dresser and had it lacquered in high gloss black and converted it into a vanity. The clawfoot tub was also painted black. Brass lighting, plumbing and hardware details add warmth to the room, which feels right at home in the attic of this traditional home. We love how the combination of traditional and charming come together in this sweet attic guest bath. Truly a room with a view!

Griffin Designs

Smokey turquoise glass tiles cover this luxury bath with an interplay of stacked and gridded tile patterns that enhances the sophistication of the monochromatic palette. Floor to ceiling glass panes define a breathtaking steam shower. Every detail takes the homeowner’s needs into account, including an in-wall waterfall element above the shower bench. Griffin Designs measured not only the space but also the seated homeowner to ensure a soothing stream of water that cascades onto the shoulders, hits just the right places, and melts away the stresses of the day. Space conserving features such as the wall-hung toilet allowed for more flexibility in the layout. With more possibilities came more storage. Replacing the original pedestal sink, a bureau-style vanity spans four feet and offers six generously sized drawers. One drawer comes complete with outlets to discretely hide away accessories, like a hair dryer, while maximizing function. An additional recessed medicine cabinet measures almost six feet in height. The comforts of this primary bath continue with radiant floor heating, a built-in towel warmer, and thoughtfully placed niches to hold all the bits and bobs in style.

Combined Bath And Toilet Designs & 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 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 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 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 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 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.

West University Master Bathroom | Houston, Texas | 2015

Sweetlake Interior Design LLC

This West University Master Bathroom remodel was quite the challenge. Our design team rework the walls in the space along with a structural engineer to create a more even flow. In the begging you had to walk through the study off master to get to the wet room. We recreated the space to have a unique modern look. The custom vanity is made from Tree Frog Veneers with countertops featuring a waterfall edge. We suspended overlapping circular mirrors with a tiled modular frame. The tile is from our beloved Porcelanosa right here in Houston. The large wall tiles completely cover the walls from floor to ceiling . The freestanding shower/bathtub combination features a curbless shower floor along with a linear drain. We cut the wood tile down into smaller strips to give it a teak mat affect. The wet room has a wall-mount toilet with washlet. The bathroom also has other favorable features, we turned the small study off the space into a wine / coffee bar with a pull out refrigerator drawer.
