Whitefish Bay Traditional Master Bathroom
Project Overview
As this couple’s children got older and started to move out of the house, the Master Bath become a new priority. The existing Master Bath was dark and felt cluttered with an awkward sloped ceiling that interrupted the bath and forced the vanity to be on an angle.
We were determined to find a way to allow for a bigger, more open shower along with a vanity that allowed for ample storage space and a much brighter feel all around. Having a bathtub was not an important feature to the clients, so we were able to remove this element from the project.
The result was a brighter, more open bathroom with a larger shower and more functional vanity. The toilet remained in the same location, but we removed a linen closet that acted more as a barrier than a storage space. We also extended the new shower wall into the Master Bedroom to create a larger shower. The entry door to the Master Bath was also relocated from the center to the angled wall.

Before
Due to an angled wall, the bathtub and vanity met at an uncommon angle and created a tight space. The bathtub and shower were also on separate sides of the bathroom.
During
A half foot of space was transferred from the Master Bedroom to the Master Bathroom to create a bigger shower. The door was moved to an angled wall to leave more space for necessities on the perpendicular walls.
After
This bathroom was brought back to life with an upgrade of luxury fixtures and finishes. By moving where the vanity and shower were located while also removing the bathtub, the space finally felt like a large, functional Master Bathroom.
