SOLUTIONS
Flip-flopped locations for desk and washer/dryer. Tucked stacked washer and dryer
unit in corner to be out of the main view and to utilize vertical space and gain
storage. Placed utility sink on an angle in the corner next to washer/dryer at 36”
counter height with cabinetry above and below for storage. Located desk area under
window to capture view at 31” high and incorporated file cabinets and pencil drawer
for storage. Cabinetry is clean lined in a stained maple with brushed metal hardware.
Laminate counters are a textured fiber pattern in terracotta tones with accents of
blue, which is picked up in the wall color. Recessed ceiling and under cabinet lighting
is used for task areas, with an overhead light for ambient.
Replaced tub/shower unit with custom built-in tiled shower and bench. Incorporated
a combination of two different ceramic tiles in varying sizes for interest as well
as a decorative border for color accent. Ceramic tile flooring replaced carpet and
clean lined stained maple cabinets replaced dark dated ones. Counters are a neutral
acrylic, with a stone sink in terracotta tones all accented with a tile backsplash
using the same tiles and deco border as the shower. A neutral paint replaces wallpaper
and oval mirrors replace square to soften the straight lines of other elements. Incandescent
wall sconces replace overhead fluorescent lighting adding a functional, yet decorative
element.
Narrowed large view window and omitted small windows on bed wall. Maple wood flooring
replaced carpet, which also runs through adjoining hallway and guest bedroom. Added
new furniture, bedding and custom window treatments.
Replaced shower and bidet with jet tub/shower unit. Custom tiled surround incorporates
two tile sizes of the same colorway along with glass tile accent border for a splash
of color. Tile also replaced carpeted flooring and a neutral wall paint replaced
gold-brown wallpaper. A new vanity configuration was created to improve functionality
and storage. Cabinets are cherry and countertops are quartz with a hint of berry
to pick up the tones in the shower accent tile. A custom shower curtain also coordinates
with all elements, adding a softness to contrast the hard materials in the space.
Crystal wall sconces replaced a hanging fixture for more adequate lighting as well
as adding a decorative touch.
