This Massachusetts couple had a large (170-square-foot) master bathroom that wasted a lot of space. It had two entry doors — one off the hall and one off the master bedroom. They knew they’d be better served by separate spaces. Interior designer Kelly McGuill divided the generous room into a private master bath for the couple and a hall bath for their guests.
The Transformation
The new hall bath feels larger than its 41 square feet. Because the space is for guests and therefore doesn’t have the storage requirements of a bathroom used by multiple people on a daily basis, McGuill was able to use a beautiful marble pedestal sink that makes the room feel more open. Using lots of white also gives things a light and airy feel. The couple wanted a tub-shower combo to accommodate guests with little ones.
Style and Design
McGuill kept it simple and elegant. The clean lines of the tile, tub, and sink have a crisp look. The marble of the sink makes a luxurious statement, while polished chrome accents add shine. The slate floor anchors the room in a dark color that contrasts with all the white. The running bond pattern of the long floor tiles emphasizes the length of the room and makes it feel wider.
