Your Guide To Designing Your Dream Master Bathroom

If you’re considering designing and building a customized home, this could be the home you’ve dreamed of for years. You want to get everything right during the initial build to avoid remodeling later.

Nothing is more disappointing than building a customized home only to realize it’s missing many of your requests. That’s why it’s important to work with an amazing home designer so every detail will be on the blueprint for your project manager and building team.

This guide will help you understand what options are available when designing your master bathroom.

SINKS AND VANITIES

Consider how many sinks you want in your master bathroom. Most master bathrooms in larger homes come with two sinks. Separate vanities are popular because they allow partners to “own” their space.

Dual vanities are still in demand because they offer an abundance of counter space. Think about how many items you would like to have on your countertop.

If you use several products in your daily routine and spend a lot of time primping in the morning, consider adding a makeup vanity with knee space so you can add a stool and sit to get ready. Your home designer can also help you design a lighting plan for this area that includes task lighting and other light fixtures that help you get the right amount of light and the best type of light temperature for this space.

LIGHTING FIXTURES AND WINDOWS

Consider what kind of light fixtures you’d like to have in the rest of your bathroom. Your home designer can show you different types of light fixtures and guide you toward window designs appropriate for this space to allow natural light into your floor plan.

For windowless bathrooms, installing sun tunnels can add mood-boosting sunlight.

POSITION, PRIVACY, AND USE

Have your designer show you options for the position of your master bathroom. Many modern homeowners enjoy having a master bathroom that attaches to the master bedroom and the master closet. Some homeowners prefer to keep the master closet and master bathroom separate. Think about who will use the bathroom and what each occupant's daily routine looks like to make the choice that’s best for you.

Consider adding a room for the toilet to add an extra layer of privacy. This creates a much more functional blueprint when the room is occupied by more than one person. Our clients like planning for a powder room in the master hallway, so a second bathroom is nearby for emergencies.

CEILING

What kind of ceilings would you like in your master bathroom? Lofty ceilings add elegance, while lower ceilings make the space feel cozy. Many of our plans include ceilings that are the same height as the master bedroom. Your home designer can tell you if custom sloped ceilings or tray ceilings are an option here.

SHOWERS AND PLUMBING

Ask your home designer to show you options for showers, soaker tubs, wet rooms, saunas, and other shower features.

The popular option used to be a separate walk-in shower paired with a garden or soaker tub but within the past year or so, we’ve seen a trend toward the tub and shower being included as part of a wet room.

You can also install a separate bidet from your toilet or you can have a bidet attachment installed on most standard toilets.

POWER OUTLETS

Remember to let your home designer know how many outlets you need in this space. If you use different hair dryers and curling irons, you may want more than one power outlet near your vanity area. If you use an electric toothbrush, flosser, and razor, you may want to add outlets to accommodate those tools.

Your home designer will be familiar with bathroom electrical code requirements.

LUXE MASTER BATHROOM FEATURES

Let your home designer know if you want to add storage features like linen closets or medicine cabinets. Make sure your under cabinet and drawer space is ample and tell your home designer what kind of towel racks you’d like to install in this space.

Your home designer can guide you toward appropriate flooring. To stay on trend, look for easy-to-clean and sustainable materials for your flooring. Make sure they’ll be light switches where they are needed. Be sure to let your home designer know if you plan to install waterproof mirror TVs, radiant flooring, or heated towel racks.
