Making Every Inch Count for a Functional Ensuite

 

This client contacted us to help turn her basic bathroom into a functional ensuite. She was very excited to have someone guide her on where to start.

Our client’s current bathrooms were not working for her. We quickly determined her main concerns: taller vanities, easy-to-clean surfaces, restful space, better organization, and a soaker tub.

As you can see, the ensuite bathroom had a few things that could be improved on. The shower stall was small and dark, situated behind the door to the room. Her vanity was quite low, and all the open storage made it difficult to organize her everyday items. The bathtub was much too large for the space and had a lot of wasted space around it.

After dissecting the space and going over the function needed, we opted to replace the large double vanity with two single vanities across from each other. This allows space for the shower at the far end of the room, creating a much more open feel. By using a narrow soaker tub and placing a custom shower next to it, we made every inch count. Using a large tile in a horizontal pattern tricks the eye into thinking the room is wider than it is. We also used the same tile on the floor and a soft beige wall colour to minimize contrast, allowing your eye to sweep over the room. The bold art above the tub gives the space some personality!

The vanities and mirrors were custom-made so that there was no wasted space. Our client likes to fold laundry in her bathroom, so the vanity was designed with a built-in laundry basket and a storage tower. Drawers were added to both vanities to ease organization. Now everything has a place, and her counters can be clear of clutter.

While the shower is narrow, it is quite airy due to the clear glass that lets in the natural light. Chrome fixtures were chosen to add sparkle to the nature-inspired colour palette.

A taller custom vanity was designed that included two deep drawers for better storage. We also removed the bulkhead in the shower, enabling us to install the shower head higher for her very tall boys.

Lisa and her boys are thrilled with their full-service renovation, and we look forward to working with them again for their next project!
