MASTER BATH

 


THE SHOWER AND LOCATION

One way to stop all the doors on a narrow hallway - linen, closet, toilet, closet  - is to angle the shower door. 

If you want a steam shower, you cannot have an arched opening.  You could, but it would cost more to create the arch and have a curved glass. 
What you can do is cost it out ahead of time - and see if it fits the budget. 

Another idea - don't use one 30" shower glass door - use two 15" doors.  This way they can pull either direction ~ leaving more room inside and outside



Extend the drop ceiling from wall to wall.  This will allow the shower to be longer.  Can't work with the width - stuck at 36".   Currently it's 46" long x 36" wide.  This would allow you 70" long x 36".  This gives you 2 feet more to move.  Place the shower head on the longer wall.  


It's harder to get to the controls - not sure where to place them.  


If you left it on the hallway side.

If you don't use a lot of glass in the shower - I would keep the shower tile lighter in color so it's not so cavernous or outdate itself.  But I like the soft green color paint and the black diamond floor.  The black diamond can repeat the color in the black glass doors. I would also carry it into the shower floor. 




Interesting contrast


SINK CABINETS ~ IN FRONT OF WINDOW

The wall is 91" wide. 
The windows with frame are 63" wide, with 14" of wall space on either side.



Mounted to the counter

Mounted from the ceiling - but the ceiling is slanted!



Scones are mounted on the side wall and mirrors are hung above window.  This is very doable. Also note the back splash is high and french like.  There is a 7" difference between the counter top and the window sill - this would hide it. 

Shutters on the lower half of window or cafe curtains. 


I'm thinking this is more your look.  Then you need to tone down the wainscoting. 


VANITY


2 / 24" cabinets with sinks. + 3 / 14" cabinets = 90" across

THIS IS MY FAVORITE!
No black door - simple glass, light colored beams, vintage flooring with black and dark cream, gold fixtures, touches of vintage marble to make it timeless. Keeping the room color drenched to cozy it up. 


BEAMS
Beams from the drop down ceiling to the slanted window wall. 


Now you have almost 75" from the vanity edge to the shower wall.  Room for a vintage cabinet to hold anything.  
There's at least 36" from the vanity to the door.  Room to move around. 



Just thought of another way.  As long as the plumbing is there for the tub - the vanities can face each other.  Then each has a wall for a mirror and sconces. The wall is 58" - you can get a 54" vanity on either side. 
It only gives you 47" between each vanity - which is tight.  Mine are 57/60".  
When they are against the window - you have about 80".



Concept of sink next to the window - which is larger.  They will extend beyond the window so they cannot go to the wall. 


With wainscoting - but use only 1 sink
