We love a bold bathroom! And not all of our projects are major renovations–some only require a few upgrades to bring the space up to times!
The Before.
The existing bathroom was a perfectly-fine builder-grade space. Functional? Yes. Spacious? 100%. But definitely lacking in style and personality. And while we LOVE wallpaper
The Plan.
The overall goal was to modernize the space, add personality, and downplay a few of the existing finishes. In order to keep the budget in check we decided on keeping the solid wood maple vanity as well as the tile flooring. While it would have been a dream to remove that, the tile ran all the way through the first floor condo–meaning it was just not in the budget to replace.
The goal of the design was too:
- Modernize and brighten the space.
- Make the builder grade ceramic floors disappear into the design.
For a bold and modern look we opted for a black and white scheme for this space. A geometric wallpaper really set the tone for the entire plan. We upgraded the existing vanity with a honed black granite and a vessel mount sink–a nice departure from the classic marble look quartz we often see.
The oversize mirror and LED bath wands not only emphasize the tall ceilings, but are extremely function for the 6′-6″ tall client!
