GRAY + WHITE
as a color palette
The homeowners , two busy accountants with two teenage kids and two dogs , wanted an ensuite with a cloud-like and airy feel to retreat to at the end of a busy day . Their request was a white bathroom that didn ' t feel cold or overly modern . To stay on budget , most of the plumbing fixture locations were kept in their original place . One item that was moved was the tub filler . The previous location created challenges with the flow of the space so the tub filler was relocated into the corner . The homeowners wanted a large shower with controls at one end and the showerhead at the other , so a wall was built and some plumbing was moved to accommodate this request . Now the homeowners can control the water temperature before getting soaked !
The renovated ensuite features soft white tiles and finishes and offers plenty of storage . The vanity is fitted with integrated storage for the various hair tools and bath products . It was important to provide niches for soaps and robes but keep a clean look so additional space between the studs of the built-out wall was used to create integrated storage . A tall linear shower niche and robe niche were also included in the design plan .
The doorless , curbless shower is a favorite element for both the designer and homeowners . The subfloor had to be modified to accommodate the required slope but the results were well worth the effort . This really opens up the space and improves the flow and function of the entire ensuite .
