7 Spectacular Bathroom Makeovers Across All Designs

I really like dramatic before-and-after reveals, and they appear to get more striking than in the restroom. We have dug into many of these remodels on , from those that involved homeowner ingenuity, creative sourcing and DIY efforts to those with budgets which could cover an whole residence. Here’s a glimpse of every kind of remodel, from those that demanded one talented homeowner into those that chose a village to complete, in no particular order. If you happen to need to know more about some particular remodel, I’ve provided links to the complete stories.

2. From plagued with problems to classic vintage style in Washington, D.C.

Underneath the nasty red walls and dated tiles of the bathroom lurked a host of pipes and electrical problems, as well as rotting wood. Intelligent homeowner Megan Adams found ways to spend less, completing the recovery for about $10,000.

AFTER: One way she balanced the budget was finding a whirlpool tub and sink at Second Chance at Baltimore for approximately $200.

Sticking with a timeless subway tile onto the tub surround, backsplash and walls is a comparatively inexpensive choice, and the appearance won’t ever go out of style. Gray grout between is a lot simpler to keep looking clean.

Simple wall sockets give Adams a location to store and exhibit pretty soaps and vintage finds.

3. Design gets a fresh layout and appearance that is contemporary in Sonoma.

This California condo’s master suite was filled with wasted space yet had an extremely cramped bathroom.

Architect, Amy A. Alper

AFTER: Architect Amy Alper commandeered the wasted dressing area and window seat space and turned it into a relaxing tub and sink room. She kept a continuous line from the counters around the space, which is easy on the eyes and provides balance from side to side.

4. Clever salvage options add elegance in Texas.

This bath was not giving furniture dealer and stylist Brad Ross and his wife, Tiffany, the elegance they were yearning for.

Lindsay von Hagel

AFTER: performing the job himself, Ross altered a French door into a shower stall divider, which not only saved a great deal of cash but also inspired the style of the remainder of the room. A repurposed sewing machine cabinet painted gray, topped with marble and adorned with glass knobs, adds elegance, as does a thrifted silver-framed mirror.

5. From drafty.

This New England bath was not only drab and closed in but also chilly. Situated over an unheated garage, it was built before things such as LEED and tight envelopes were considered in construction, and thus was drafty and inefficient.

AFTER: A complete gut renovation by designer Megan Meyers included adding radiant heat flooring, a baseboard heating system, a heated European towel bar, a sunken limestone tub and a energy-efficient window to help maintain the heat.

As for the decor, clear glass in the shower makes the space look larger and provides clear opinions. A mixture of glass and ceramic tiles adds elegance and colour, along with the stenciled walls possess an ornate yet subtle layout.

6. From ’50s Pepto pink to bright and tidy blue at the San Francisco Bay Region.

Scary clanking sounds and bad electrical work have been a recipe for disaster in this bath. In addition the layout, style and storage were not working for this mother and her 9-year-old daughter.

AFTER: Bill Fry Construction transformed the never-used tub into a shower with a clear glass surround and brightened up the space with blue mosaic tiles the daughter helped select. Along with a new window, the color and material palette infused the space with vibrance and a zestfully clean feeling.
