This gorgeous bathroom renovation in Saratoga Springs, NY perfectly illustrates how we can evolve our homes to better meet the needs of our families as we grow and change. Improved storage, maximized efficiency, and luxurious details make this a stunning transformation.
This project was a total renovation. The homeowners and their older children no longer felt a bathtub was the best use of their bathroom space, opting for an extra large shower instead. We also created a smaller room for the toilet only, with a pocket door to maximize space.
We removed dated features like the old vanity and chipped tile floor in favor of excellent upgrades like new custom cabinets with a quartzite top, new tile throughout, and a tile warming system. A new transom window that allows light, gives much needed privacy, and opens replaced an old window which could not be opened. Recessed lighting was added throughout the space, as well as new vanity lighting and lighted mirrors at the vanity.
To address storage needs, we installed floor to ceiling custom cabinetry for linens, a perfectly sized corner cabinet in the toilet room, and custom designed built-ins for the walk-in closet that is off the bathroom.
Design decisions were also made with an eye to aging in place, like a comfort height toilet with bidet seat, higher vanity counter tops, and a curbless shower.
The new bathroom is also packed with special touches that add serious aesthetic “wow factor” and luxurious modifications. The use of a neutral, over-sized tile for the back wall adds visual interest. We then used an accent tile in the lighted shower niches that has a subtle color and a bit of sparkle. The spa-like shower contains multiple heads on either side, massaging body sprays, and a hand held extension, as well as a linear drain that blends in seamlessly with the floor.
The final result is a modern, sophisticated, and highly functional space that will work beautifully for the homeowners through all seasons of life.
