Top 3 Master Bathroom Remodeling Ideas

October 17, 2019

master bathroom remodeling ideasWhy do bathrooms–even master bathrooms–always feel so Spartan? Porcelain, metal, and industrial echoes are not the way to make a house a home. 

A master bathroom remodel is a perfect time to take a minute and plan what you’d like to be around when you’re in there. How would you prefer to feel about the space? 

Below, we’ll briefly discuss three of our favorite master bathroom remodeling ideas to make this oft-neglected room feel as cozy as the rest of the house.

 

Master Bathroom Remodeling Idea #1: Earthiness

Perhaps the most dominating characteristic of the average American bathroom is the fact that when you walk in, it feels like you’ve entered a chemist’s cleanroom. Shouldn’t there be hazmat suits hanging on the towel racks?

But you’ve actually walked into what may be the most important room in your home. Why not be greeted with a little warmth and brush of natural color? Wood is used as a bathroom building material so rarely, but it’s so beautiful when it finds its way in.

Consider this master bathroom remodeling idea ; look especially at the first picture. Like a tree, the wood makes up the bottom of the counters and as the eyes travel up, they see lush green almost sprouting out of the wood.

 

Master Bathroom Remodeling Idea #2: Spaciousness

In addition to being full of harsh lines and sharp corners, bathrooms frequently also feel so cramped.

In the picture linked above, notice how the counters, in addition to being wood, are longer than they are tall. This trick achieves a cozy sort of “stretching out” feeling. The room couldn’t possibly be too small and crowded; look how comfortably everything fits inside.

There are so many ways to make a room–any room–feel more spacious. Oftentimes, these tricks are even more effective in a smaller room like a bathroom, especially since most of us are so accustomed to stressful bathroom feng shui

 

Master Bathroom Remodeling Idea #3: Color

On one hand, hard floors and metallic surfaces can be justified. Bathroom spills are the worst and hard surfaces absorb less. Understandably, most of us will take whatever we can get to make cleaning a bathroom spill easier.

But why all the off-white? If nothing else, color makes a bathroom feel cleaner by hiding grime and stains from the casual glance. We all know not to wear white when we eat at Italian restaurants; why do we dress our bathrooms in such pale, transparent tones?

Of course, white and off-white can be used beautifully and are perfectly valid color choices if you prefer them–but if you don’t, feel free to explore the alternatives.

Creating a welcoming, clean, and safe environment is central to maintaining healthcare and retirement homes in the Willamette Valley. These spaces are more than buildings; they’re where residents and patients find care and comfort. So, every detail in the physical environment, from the lighting to the layout, should reflect your commitment to their well-being. One key yet often overlooked detail? Interior painting. When done thoughtfully, it goes far beyond aesthetics—it shapes the atmosphere, reinforces safety, and contributes to a sense of care that’s felt by everyone who walks through the door. Understanding the Needs of Healthcare and Retirement Homes It goes without saying: healthcare and retirement facilities have unique painting needs that go beyond aesthetics. High-traffic areas experience regular wear and tear, and frequent cleaning can cause paint to degrade faster than in typical environments. Additionally, maintaining a sanitary and safe environment is paramount. This is why painting should not only be about beautification but also about durability and hygiene. Seasonal painting schedules allow healthcare and retirement homes to address their most critical areas—like hallways, communal spaces, and entryways—at the right time, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum effectiveness. Seasonal Painting Considerations It’s all about having a predictable maintenance plan, simplifying your to-do list and keeping your facility looking its best throughout the year. 1. Spring/Summer: Refreshing the Exterior and Common Areas Spring and summer are ideal seasons for tackling exterior painting projects. The mild weather conditions mean paint will dry faster, and there’s less risk of moisture interfering with the application. Also consider brightening up communal spaces, such as dining areas and lounges. This can lift spirits and provide a fresh, inviting atmosphere. Seasonal colors like pastels or light neutrals can help create a calm and pleasant environment for residents. Summer into early fall is an ideal time for exterior painting too. The lower chances of rain and consistent temps allow for larger projects to be completed faster and with less interference from the weather. 2. Fall/Winter: Focus on Interior Updates The cooler months are ideal for tackling interior projects. During fall and winter, healthcare and retirement homes often operate at a more predictable pace, making it a good time to schedule interior painting updates without significantly disrupting daily routines. Winter is a great time to refresh patient rooms, hallways, and bathrooms with more durable finishes that can withstand regular cleaning.
