Here are some tips for designing your custom master bathroom.
The master bathroom is where you start and end your day. It’s where you go when you’re sick or need to wash the stress away. Robin Ford Builders understands that having an overstuffed vanity or sharing a sink can throw off your day before you get dressed.
Like any other room in the house, we consider your needs and desires before starting. It’s important to create a master bathroom that matches you. Let’s review a few key decisions you may need to make when designing your custom master bathroom.
Consider the Space
While there aren’t any set rules for determining how big your bathroom should be, current master bathroom styles are luxurious and spacious. These luxury bathrooms are often an entire room adjacent to the master bedroom. Many have private areas for a toilet and bidet, walk-in showers, dual sinks, and walk-in closets.
While grand master baths are on trend, a master bathroom can be as small as 34 square feet if needed. This is ideal if you have a secondary bedroom or even an oversized closet to convert into a bathroom. A skilled contractor can help you determine how small your bathroom can be while still achieving charm and elegance.
Shower and Bathtub
There are so many choices when it comes to your shower and bathtub. If you love a relaxing candle-lit soak, you may prefer a luxurious freestanding bathtub. A glass-cased shower lends itself to a more modern look, while the right shower curtain can pull the bathroom’s aesthetic together for a shower-bath combo.
Toilets
We all take the toilet for granted, but we most definitely notice if there’s an issue. When building a custom home, consider your toilet preference. What height works best? Do you want a toilet with a heated seat? It’s also important to think about layout. Since this is a master bathroom, likely for two people, do you want the option of privacy? If so, a pocket door within the bathroom could provide just that.
Lighting is Key
Bathroom design is becoming technologically advanced in several ways. Remember when the Hollywood lighting above the vanity was considered cool? Now, having lights over your head produces shadows that hinder your ability to see your face. Alternatively, you can add lights on both sides of the vanity. Bulbs that release a natural-looking glow enhance your face. Consider adding general ceiling lighting on a dimmer to create a mood for your evening soaks.
