Loving their neighborhood but struggling with the functionality of their home, these Schaumburg clients reached out to OHi to help improve various aspects. Though originally considering a small addition, our team encouraged them to change the layout of their home instead to help save on costs. With three updated bathrooms, new flooring, and wall adjustment between their family room and office, the final product is perfect for both parents and children.
Apart from being dated, hello powder blue bathroom and shoe box master bathroom shower, the original layout was simply not functional for the family's needs. Originally, the basement bathroom required guests to walk through a maze-like corridor, making it almost impossible to find. This resulted in guests using the upstairs hall bathroom, which brought them into spaces the homeowner wanted to keep separated for their kids.
The solution was to play around with the floor plan. Upstairs, our team absorbed the original hall bath into the master bathroom, giving it plenty of space for a luxurious shower and Jack and Jill sink. Then, we took the guest bedroom closet with a portion of the closet from one of the kid's bedrooms to create a new hall bath. This also meant it was no longer right at the top of the stairs, leading guests to turn toward the basement bathroom. Finding the basement bathroom became much more accessible as our team relocated and opened up the space. This helped create a separate area for the children's playthings while keeping them in the site line of the main family room.
Originally, the master bathroom consisted of a small shower with a short shower head, a console vanity with limited storage, and minimal design elements to give the space a relaxing feel.
Meanwhile, the hall bathroom was located on the other side of the wall. It was complete with a retro powder blue bathtub and wall tile. The lighting was dim, and again, there was not much of an aesthetic. Our designer opted to absorb the hall bath into the master bathroom.
The final space is filled with details that help contribute to the earthy, relaxing aesthetic. Gone is the console vanity, and in its place is an extensive double sink vanity with stations for husband and wife. There is ample storage, including drawers and under-sink cabinets. The shower is the shining glory of the space. Much more spacious than the original, there are multiple showerheads, a foot rest, and an elongated niche for toiletry storage. The tile helps give an artisanal, handcrafted appearance. A favorite detail that is felt every day but not seen through pictures is the heated floors, helping create an extra cozy touch.
Before: The space the hall bathroom is now located used to be dead hallway space, as well as the closet to the guest bedroom and one of the children's bedrooms.
After: Made to be playful and relaxing, this space uses a bold, earthy emerald green tile for the shower and adds luxe gold finishes on everything from the shower head to the hardware to provide an extra pop.
Before: Elongated yet cramped, this bathroom was cut off from the rest of the house and functioned as a personal office bathroom. It didn't offer too much function and had zero style, apart from making everything beige.
After: The space is a perfect balance of bold and subtle. The shower has a playful, bright tile that perfectly matches the floor grout. This is balanced by a neutral-colored vanity that includes drawer storage.
