Flourtown – Master Suite

A 1957 split level rancher, the master bathroom here was a very bright canary yellow tile, with a stall shower and a tiny footprint of 4’, 6″ x 8’ or 36 sf.  This room was a total gut renovation. All mechanicals into the room were completely updated but the locations maintained.

To help maximize the feeling of space in this tiny bathroom we:

• eliminated the tiled wall between the shower and the rest of the bathroom, using instead a  transparent shower screen to keep the bathroom dry. 
• selected a smaller sized toilet
• installed robe hooks instead of towel rods
• used a wall hung custom vanity
• installed bright shiny and tall medicine cabinet sconces to help make the space feel larger
• eliminated a feeling of clutter by selecting an integrated sink and counter for the vanity
• used large scale wall tile run from floor to ceiling, again to accentuate the height of the room and eliminate any feeling of clutter
• added a seat in the shower by stealing 2” from the closet behind
