Sadie embraced the challenge of making the small bathroom larger, updating its ease-of-use and ensuring its family-friendliness—all while keeping the original plumbing in the same location. To begin, smart space planning was needed to rework the floor plan. The space was extended by two feet, which helped accommodate additional storage, a full-length mirror and towel hooks. Orientation by the sink was shifted, accommodating an added storage cabinet for the family linens and bath necessities.
The client dreamed of a light, bright space that would stand the test of time. Small moments of color—like greens and yellows present in the penny round tiling, shower curtain and window shade—add a sense of charm without sacrificing functionality. Textural details and a mix of finishes, like unlacquered brass paired with bronze details and dark wood, bring warmth while remaining easy to clean and maintain. The space feels both unique and timeless while meeting all the daily demands of a bustling family.
