For most homeowners, when giving first-time guests a tour of their home, they move quickly through the primary bathroom (or skip it entirely). But for this remodel, the primary bathroom is a showpiece in itself, allowing the homeowner to throw open the door and say, “Welcome to the spa.”
The bathroom is large and spacious with tall ceilings that enhance its airy feel. It features a separate wet room that houses both a freestanding tub and a curbless shower. The wet room boasts an elegant arched window with frosted glass, creating ambient natural light while maintaining privacy.
The wet room concept is common in Europe but, until recently, was mostly under the radar on this side of the Atlantic. Now it’s becoming popular in high-end bathrooms in the U.S. Instead of waterproofing just the shower area, the entire room is tiled and waterproofed. As a result, you can say goodbye to shower curtains, sliding glass doors, and shower curbs.
Another benefit of the wet room is its ability to create an attractive visual flow with the rest of the bathroom. You can see that in this remodel, especially since each area has a shared color palette.
Within the wet room, white tiles add brightness to most of the wall area, but fin-shaped (fish scale) and multi-toned green tile adds style and visual appeal. This type of tile has a curved, overlapping pattern that evokes the movement of water — a perfect choice for a spa-like retreat. Gold shower fixtures and robe hooks add a touch of luxury and shine that perfectly complements the tile work.
The wet room is huge, including the tub and ample shower space, while never feeling cramped. As an added luxury, the floors are heated, and the tub is temperature-controlled, enhancing the spa-like feel of the entire space.
The wet room also stands out for its little details. For example, there are tiled niches near the shower and tub. The tile in the niches matches the floor tile, adding another layer of color and texture. Right at the entrance to the wet room, a floating wood shelf for towels sits above two gold robe hooks.
Adjacent to the wet room, the main area of the bathroom includes warm, layered lighting with six wall sconces that provide an inviting glow throughout the space. The gold sconces and green cabinets create a harmonious look with the rest of the bathroom’s aesthetic. For everyday usability, the bathroom includes three large mirrors and a dedicated seated vanity area.
Whether getting ready in the morning or just taking it slow on an at-home spa day, this stunning bathroom remodel feels like a dream.
