Zen Like- Modern/Rural Master Bath Remodel in Gwynedd Valley

Wood paneling and large corner Jacuzzi tubs were cleared out of the way for this modern makeover for a master bath in Gwynedd Valley. Dated wood paneling covered the walls in the hall and bath, contrasted by a bright white walk-in shower and huge Jacuzzi tub. The large windows were inspiring, but left some need for privacy so top up/bottom down shades were installed that didn’t sacrifice the view. With the addition of radiant heated flooring, the homeowners can cozily enjoy this bright and sunny space year round comfortably.

A desire for a modern Zen-like bathroom steered the design towards minimalistic but powerful design features. A white sculptural tub and its modern tub filler is the main focal point upon entering the space, silhouetted by the large picture windows overlooking Philadelphia’s countryside. A custom frameless glass shower enclosure on the left, overlooks the tub and out into the woods. Backed by natural slate pencil tile, it brings a sense of security and warmth to the open space. Soapstone threshold compliments the ink black pebble stones for a truly “at one with nature” showering experience. A floating vanity in a rich warm cinnamon wood finish resonates in the space and is topped by modern stainless steel fixtures, integrated sink tops, and a frameless mirror. Overhead lighting is provided by 4” recessed LED light fixtures that illuminate the space softly. Wall sconces on the lower level light the soaking tub and commode tucked behind the half wall separating the shower from the lower level. The wall hung toilet provides easy cleaning access with its tank tucked neatly behind the wall.

While working in the master bath, new carpet, fresh paint, and new ceiling and lighting fixtures were installed in the bedroom.  A complimenting wood makeup vanity was installed in the hall to coordinate with the bathrooms, picking up the soapstone in the countertop and the rich warm wood tones.  All the master suite needs now is a bed
