Often the spaces that define our routines make the most significant impact, and when it comes to bathroom remodels, it’s all about meeting form with function.

Featured in Season 2 of our Netflix show “Dream Home Makeover,” this master bath and closet remodel allowed our team to think about spatial planning in a new way, and we can’t wait to share more details of the process with you today.

Design Lesson No. 1: Open space planning allows for better use and flow

The idea of taking out walls can be intimidating, but sometimes re-imaging a space is about more than a new coat of paint. We are firm believers in stepping back and seeing your space in a new light, and in this space, we knew that taking out the wing walls would open it up and allow for better use. 

Design Lesson No. 2: Flooring durability is essential for longevity

It’s important to consider functionality in any design, but especially when planning a bathroom space. One of the first decisions we made with our clients in this space was to take out the carpet flooring and replace it with something more durable. Adding a tile in the bathroom and a low-pile, patterned carpet to the closet made more sense functionally while bringing more dimension and tone. 

Design Lesson No. 3: Light hues go a long way in brightening a space

Natural light is one of those things that is hard to create, but there are many ways to enhance it. Our clients had quite a bit of natural light in this space, but it became more apparent as we added in lighter hues. Although we went with a darker tile on the floors, the white walls, softer window treatments, and a light tone on the vanity allowed the whole space to feel brighter.
