A well designed master bathroom
that keeps the budget, meets the timeline and the demands of the homeowner has its
challenges both in the case of remodeling and new construction.
Newer construction of master bathrooms tend to offer larger square footage, are sometimes awkwardly laid out and can offer inadequate accessibility to the bedroom and dressing areas. I find they also tends to feature super sized bathtubs, small showers and occasionally undervalue the ever important storage advantages of the vanity. I am finding the water closet is neutral at the moment. Not seen as a priority for the younger set but still popular in larger scale designs. So if space permits, it is a nice bonus We even see two water closets in higher end large masters baths.
Basic three-piece bathrooms are typical of older construction where minimum space is utilized for the hygienic function alone. Current homeowners are seeking to remodel these spaces for a more inspiring and rejuvenating experience where larger showers featuring jet sprays and/or steam offer a spa retreat experience. Many times in these remodel cases, the bathtub is sacrificed for the roomier customized shower in these older homes. Secondary bathrooms especially. Where the homeowner is investing in all new baths, they often times keep a tub in the secondary bath while replacing tubs with showers in all remaining baths.
Here the homeowner collaborated for this clever shower room with a lovely undermount soaker. Perhaps the best of both worlds!
