Ideas for Designing Your Master Bathroom

Let’s review some ideas when designing your custom master bathroom.

The master bathroom in your home is where you typically start and end your day. It’s an area where you go when you are sick or need to wash the stress away. Robin Ford Builders comprehends that having an overstuffed vanity or sharing a sink can throw off your day before it even starts.

Like any other room in a house, we consider your personal needs and must-haves before starting. It’s critical to create a master bathroom that matches your style and personality. Let’s review some ideas when designing your custom master bathroom.

Consider the Space Utilization

While there are no set rules for determining how large or small your bathroom should be, current master bathroom styles are comfy and spacious. These luxury bathrooms usually consist of an entire room next to the master bedroom. Additionally, many have private toilet and bidet areas, walk-in showers, dual sinks, and walk-in closets.

While grand master baths are trendy, a master bathroom can be as small as 34 square feet if necessary. This is suitable if you have a secondary bedroom or even an oversized closet that you can convert into a bathroom. A skilled general contractor and custom home builder can help you determine how small your bathroom can be while still maintaining charm and elegance.

Shower or Bathtub?

There are many choices when it comes to the style of your shower and bathtub. If you enjoy a relaxing candle-lit soak, you might favor a luxurious freestanding bathtub. A glass-cased shower offers a more modern look, while the right shower curtain can blend the bathroom’s aesthetic for a shower-bath combo.

Toilet Preference

We all take our toilets for granted, but we most definitely notice if there is a plumbing problem. When building a custom home, factor in your toilet preference. What height works best for you? Do you prefer a toilet with a heated seat? It’s also essential to consider the layout. Since this is a master bathroom for two people, do you want the option for some privacy? If so, a pocket door within the bathroom could be your solution.

Lighting Matters

Bathroom design is becoming technologically progressive in multiple ways. Back then, the Hollywood lighting above the vanity was considered trendy. Now, having lights over your head creates shadows that could hinder your ability to see your face up close. Alternatively, you can integrate lights on both sides of the vanity. Remember that bulbs that release a natural-looking glow improve your face. Consider adding general ceiling lighting on a dimmer to develop a mood for your evening soaks.
