A Master Bathroom Transformation: Creating Two Modern Bathrooms

At Rowe Construction, we turn homeowners' visions into reality through quality craftsmanship and innovative design. We recently completed an exciting project in Fairfield County, CT, that transformed an outdated master bathroom into two modern, functional, and bright bathrooms. This renovation aimed to provide a growing family with the privacy and efficiency they needed while enhancing the home's aesthetic appeal.

The Project Challenge

The homeowners wanted to update their large, outdated master bathroom to better serve their family's needs by converting the master into two unique bathrooms. They envisioned two bathrooms, each featuring a modern, stylish design that would blend seamlessly with their home's overall aesthetic.

Why Two Smaller Bathrooms?

For a growing family, having two smaller bathrooms instead of one large one offers several benefits. It provides additional privacy and reduces the morning rush, making daily routines more efficient. In a family-dense area like Fairfield County, adding a bathroom can significantly increase a home's value, making it more attractive to potential buyers.

Maximizing Floor Space

When designing the new bathrooms, maximizing the working floor space was paramount. Efficient use of floor space ensures that every square foot is functional and practical, avoiding wasted areas. This focus on usability allowed us to create two bathrooms that are not only beautiful but also highly functional, meeting the family's needs effectively and efficiently.

Project Details

Connor led the project with precision and dedication. Understanding the importance of a well-coordinated renovation, he meticulously planned each phase, ensuring minimal disruption to the client's daily life. Here's a breakdown of the transformation:

01. Planning and Design

We began by collaborating closely with the homeowners to understand their needs and preferences. The design included ample storage, efficient lighting, and hardware and fixtures.

02. Permits and Coordination

We had to get permits for this job, as we do for many of our projects. We handle the entire process from start to finish for the homeowners, gathering information, drawing sketches, and submitting permits with the town. We coordinate with local building, zoning, health, and wetlands boards to ensure compliance with all codes. Scheduling inspections that push the envelope allows us to set deadlines and keep the project on track. Myself or a project manager is always onsite for inspections to ensure everything goes well and details are communicated with building officials and homeowners. This time-consuming process is one we make look effortless, adding another reason to hire us.

03. Demolition and Framing

Our team carefully removed the old fixtures and partitions and then framed new walls to create the two separate bathroom spaces. This ensured that each bathroom had adequate space and a logical flow. We also stole some space from a bedroom closet to expand one of the bathrooms, ensuring both rooms were functional and spacious.

04. Plumbing and Electrical Work

Updating the plumbing and electrical systems was a crucial part of the project. Our professionals rerouted plumbing lines and installed modern electrical fixtures to ensure both bathrooms were well-lit and energy-efficient.

05. Plumbing and Electrical Work

All new tile, mirrors, vanities, fixtures, electric, plumbing, and paint were part of what we affectionately call a total gut renovation—everything had to come out and be replaced with new, high-quality materials. We installed modern fixtures, including sleek vanities, contemporary faucets, and spacious showers. One bathroom featured a mix of gray tiles in both herringbone and geometric patterns with striking gold fixtures, creating a luxurious and elegant feel. The other bathroom used classic white and blue tiles, offering a timeless and serene ambiance.

06. Final Touches

Finishing touches such as modern hardware, decorative lighting, and elegant accessories tied the design together, adding sophistication to both bathrooms. While different in style, each bathroom complemented the overall aesthetic of the home and catered to the family members using it.

The Result

The end result was two beautifully designed bathrooms that met the family's needs for privacy and efficiency. The mix of gray tiles and gold fixtures in one bathroom added a touch of luxury, while the classic white and blue tiles in the other provided a clean, classic feel.

We delivered a functional and aesthetically pleasing solution that enhanced the home's overall value and comfort by addressing the family's need for privacy and efficiency. By transforming one outdated master bathroom into two modern, stylish bathrooms, we ensured that our clients could enjoy their home to the fullest.
