5年前Rather than trying to “update” the bathroom, I think a total redesign is more practical. The whole room needs work to bring it out of the 80’s.DAB Interior Design, Inc.
5年前I have been a " Five Time Nationally Award Winning Architectural Interior Designer" for
35 years and I am an expert in Luxury Baths. You first have to give more information as to what level of change you are looking to do? I would find it impossible to make this a grey and white bathroom with any fixtures you currently have. Whirlpools and glass block have been out for at least 25-30 years. Today people are using beautiful free
standing tubs.
So trying to change the tile or vanity would just be needlessly spending
on something that will never give you the look you desire.
I would gut the whole bathroom, perhaps have a professional relay it out, in a moreup to date design, perhaps moving fixtures around but without a floor plan, window placement, drains etc., it would be impossible to say for sure, how to proceed.
The toilets ,shower equipment today conserve water and use less than 2 gallons to flush.Your current toilet probably uses double plus so you're wasting water and my guess
is the flushing of the toilet is much worse and gets clogged up, way more often than
one that is up to date, by today's standards. Some models today actually clean
themselves.
Shower are much more open and have more equipment available that has manymore features. That needs to be reworked. Of course get rid of glass block,
I haven't seen used for years. The vanity also has to go as it is a style that really
isn't used any longer .
Lighting is also critical to get the ambience and effects you desire. Not to mention that today, we use LED lighting, which is much more efficient, each bulb should last 25,000hours, not to mention your electric bill will go down.
If you would like some help, we redesign spaces, long distance, select materials and help you select by interviewing, checking local references, the best local contractors to do your job for you plus provide you with very detailed Architectural Drawings for your contractorto complete the project without any problems.

plans I am referring to, for the above bath, as well as before
and after shots, but even those aren't the complete

5年前Since you have beige/red/brown tile and vanity, gray and white are not going to look good unless you demolish existing tile, which will be pretty close to a gut rehab, so I'd recommend looking at the layout and doing a total redesign.
If you aren't planning to replace the tile, then you want to find a color that will go with the existing decor. I'd paint the walls cream.Storybook Home
5年前Please keep that amazing glass shower enclosure! It’s so cool looking! Of course, I tend to like vintage design so...Veronica
質問の投稿者5年前Thanks for the suggestions. I do plan on re-tiling everything. The area is about 9 x 12. I would love to keep the tub but if a freestanding one is better I will do that. I’m definitely planning on changing the fixtures. I just need some ideas on a picture of what the bathroom could be based upon my dimensions.Steven
5年前I would consider removing the step in your bathroom in your update. It could be a tripping hazard but I don’t know. Since you’re choosing to retile it seems like you’re leaning towards a near full demolition. If you’re leaning towards modern, I find all the curves in your bathroom are a nuisance. However, if you’re intending to keep a more traditional style, you may just retile everything as is, and stain the vanity a dark almost black colour...silviakunst
5年前Yes to ripping out the dark tiles ...all white or grey ...and I agree with Steven ..the vanity needs to be black ! Leave the glass enclosure ...it's old fashioned ..but looks good in your space ..and with everything lighter ..it will look modern ..ish
