My 5 favorite master bath ideas

April 30, 2021 by Kelli Ellis

A Las Vegas project came as a completely empty concrete shell. Some clients of mine and most normal people would see a huge headache, but as many of you designers would too, I saw a blank canvas. One of the areas most have difficulty with is the bathrooms. Often times, they’re awkward spaces in terms of size and layout. I really wanted these rooms to be as cool as I planned the rest.

I want to share with you a few ideas I love for a stunning and unique master bath ideas.

1. Vanity with a view:

Ultimately for my particular location, I decided I wanted to somehow incorporate the amazing view. At the same time, I really didn’t want to take away mirror space which I find so irritating when missing in other bath areas. I opted to have the sink and vanity facing out towards the view of the strip. I then hung long, vertical mirrors in front of the sinks and vanity from silver wires as if they’re floating. This way you get the beautiful view framing the mirrors with a perfect natural light during the day instead of putting the sink or vanity in a dark awkward corner just to hang a mirror.

2. Floating counters:

For particularly small or awkward bathroom spaces, putting in a full counter with storage, etc. often takes up too much space and makes it look even smaller. I really like using floating counter tops in spaces like that because they get the job done but also keep enough floor area open so it still looks spacious. For a small bathroom, you really don’t need to worry about useless under sink storage anyways. Extra shelves is a good alternative that keeps the bathroom looking open a well.

3. Decorative Sinks:

Sinks are usually overlooked and just a simple hardware store model is thrown in in many project, but taking a little time to rethink this little detail can have a big impact on overall look. I love the look of a mosaic sink in a really modern, clean bathroom like the example above. If you’re working with a really simple design or neutral color scheme, this is a perfect way to make the space really pop without adding pointless accessories and art.

4. Warmer With Wood: 

I’ve really started to love the traditional timber mixed with modern elements that’s been popular. No matter what style you’re going for, I think adding a naturally element helps warm up a space that’s normally a bit “colder”. For modern styles with dark colors, dark, rich woods are a perfect match and fits in perfectly color scheme wise. For white bathrooms, I like lighter woods for a natural touch. Wood also looks great as a base for a stone basin like in the first example in this blog.

5. Layered Lighting: 

One of the most important elements to any bathroom, as any designer (or woman) will know, is lighting. Everyone hates a bathroom with bad lighting. There’s a few tricks that will guarantee perfect bathroom lighting no matter what the size of the space. I make it a priority to layer bathroom lighting so there is an even glow around the room. You can do this by using lighting around the mirror and then overhead lighting as well. I also like to hang lighting low around mirrors for an even effect.

I hope this was some good inspiration! I’ll be sharing more of my penthouse bathroom designs soon!
