Concord California Rustic Master Bathroom Remodel by Jackie Lopey of Venue Custom Cabinets Barn Door Freestanding Tub Wet Room

Crafting a Modern Country Bathroom

How did my clients embrace their traditional style while creating a contemporary master bathroom?

First, fix the chopped-up space plan.

Remove walls so that three rooms become one
Opt for one wet room instead of separate shower and tub areas
Add bigger, better windows

Third, carefully curate the furnishings and fixtures.

Celebrate dark, rich bathroom furniture and natural granite
Mix up the tile finishes with natural sliced stone, wood-look porcelain, and stone-look porcelain
Choose details like industrial lighting and rail-road inspired cabinet hardware
