Each era has its own home improvement style. In the 1990s and 2000s, the style for a master bath was a small walk-in shower, large Jacuzzi tub, and usually 12inch ceramic tile. Believe it or not, that style is now 20-30 years old! Many people are ready for a style update and frustrated with a large tub they never use.
So what do you change it to? Well, the sky is the limit, but most often people are choosing to replace the space guzzling corner jacuzzi with a smaller free-standing tub. The small elbow width shower is typically updated and expanded to be more comfortable. By keeping the walk-in shower feature, the bathroom remains accessible for aging.
For this project, we took the entire bathroom down to the studs. We started from scratch and upgraded the quality of the drywall. This bathroom was particularly congested with walls enclosing the toilet and shower. To meet the goal of increasing space, we removed the oversized jacuzzi and the extra walls.
We then began installation of a beautiful floor tile and updating the shower to be fully tiled with large, elegant, easy to clean tiles. Gold accents and fixtures added to the luxury feel.
We finished the bathroom with a free standing
tub, new vanity, and toilet, for a long lasting high end bathroom update.
We have lots of ideas for updating your 2000s bathroom. We could convert the shower into a fashionable spa shower, an oversized walk-in shower, or a tub/shower combination. We could install a closet or free-standing tub in place of the oversized jacuzzi. Built in shelving or a built in makeup vanity make even bathroom storage feel high end. If you can dream it, we can (probably) build it.
