Exquisite Primary Bathroom Update – Darien, IL
This update involved keeping the existing floorplan while using new materials to bring the space up to date.
Design objectives
-Modernize the space
-Use eye-catching tile
-Vanity with more storage
-Brighter finish on plumbing fixtures
Design challenges:
-Get more storage/functionality out of the same vanity space
-Tile selection – finding the right combination for the large the space
-Material selection – getting that wow-factor effect without being able to move walls or plumbing. This refresh was all about choosing materials with impact.
-Bringing in more light in a space somewhat defined by an existing vaulted ceiling.
Design solutions:
-Removed the old built-in tub look and replaced it with a sleek freestanding tub
-Continued the same tile from the shower walls behind the freestanding tub for a beautiful look on the back wall when you walk into the space
-Created a vanity with undermount sinks, all at one level to gain more countertop space
-Added floating shelves by the vanity – this added more options for decor and easy access to everyday items
-Large-format tile = less visible grout
