4 Ideas for Remodeling Your Master Bathroom

SAN JOSE — If you own an older home, you may have a small master bathroom that’s “master” in name only due to it being attached to the master bedroom. Whether you’re planning to expand your master bathroom or you simply want to improve the use of space, consider the following remodeling tips:

1. Replace that massive, outdated spa tub with a walk-in shower to make the bathroom feel more open. You can also replace it with a modern standalone tub that meets your needs without making the space feel cramped.

2. A decorative backsplash can heighten any bath design. To balance out a bold accent, use a simple, modern faucet design.

3. If you want more space to get ready or store essentials, construct a separate vanity away from the main sink area.

4. Eliminate your shower “cave” by removing the opaque walls and installing a glass shower enclosure. You can also increase the amount of natural light in your bathroom by adding/enlarging windows or skylights. This can highlight the beauty of a master bathroom regardless of the size of its footprint.
