Mastering the Details

The entire master bathroom remodel was designed to the detail by Castle Design to be both functional and beautiful. The challenge the designer faced was that the size and shape of the space of the bath in the historic Clayton residence couldn’t be modified. Thoughtful and creative planning transformed the space into a more functional master bath. 

Luminous Powder Room

This small powder room can’t help but catch your eye. The luminous radiance makes a small space sparkle. The reflection of the tile wall and the antiqued mirrors on the vanity drawers give depth to the space, while the wood floor and vanity add textural contrast. A touch of glimmer comes from the metallic silver paint on the wooden mullions on the mirrored vanity drawer fronts as well as the border on the top and bottom of the vanity.

Peaceful Retreat

After 25 years in their home, the owners decided to gut their master suite. Desiring a clean, peaceful space to retreat, they worked with designer Nancy Barrett, Beautiful Rooms, LLC, to create the space of their dreams. A fresh, patterned fabric set the natural color palette of gold, white and gray.

Rustic Retreat

Located in a rustic area, this master bath captures the natural setting while providing all the modern comforts. Designer Mark Dysart, Marc Christian Fine Cabinetry, added wood paneling and beams to warm up the visual look of the space, while heated flooring enhances physical comfort. The vanity mirrors were built by first building 3” deep framework. LED lighting tape was applied to the frame, then the stacked stone tile backsplash was installed. The mirrors were overlaid on the stone to look as if they are floating.

Separate, But Together

With 260 square feet to work with, this couple had plenty of space to create a master bath with separate spaces while still being together. Designer Elizabeth Kavlock, Dashing Design, created a shower for two, a tub for two and a vanity for two to give the couple exactly what they desired. Access to the master bath through the walk-in closet allows for everyday grooming and day prep to be done within their own spaces. The husband has his own private water closet, while the wife has an extensive makeup dressing vanity.
