Tranquil Oasis: Crafting a Spa-Inspired Sanctuary in a 1980s Bathroom
A spa-like retreat was what the homeowners wanted. Their original 1980s bathroom consisted of a large, decked whirlpool tub, two small vanities, a tiny shower, and minimal storage. The walk-in closet was small, with a hallway that took up precious space. Taking a small bump out from the bedroom created a beautiful walk-in closet with plenty of storage and an excellent entryway into the primary bathroom. The bathroom was completely gutted, and all fixtures were relocated to create a more functional space. The feature wall in the shower has a tile reminiscent of ocean waves in a warm, sandy tone, highlighted with an LED wall wash. The other walls are the same color tile with a smooth finish. The wall-hung vanity cabinets have a beautiful textured teak finish. The amazing height and angular walls of the ceiling are enhanced with a tongue and groove panel detail, which round out the spa-like atmosphere in this primary bathroom.
