Kat Robbins Interiors won an honorable mention at the IDA (Interior Design Awards) held in Philadelphia, with bathroom cabinetry custom made by Superior Woodcraft.
How do you take an existing bathroom that seems overcrowded, make everything bigger and end up with a space that feels more open and light? Sounds impossible!Here’s how we did it:
The existing bathroom did not meet the clientʼs needs. The corner shower was
cramped, a jacuzzi tub was rarely used and blocked access to the window, and the double vanity made the 6ʼ x13ʼ space feel crowded. However, the client valued all of these features and eliminating any of them was not an option.
We designed a vanity that was only 19” deep, with open space underneath and added
legs to give a more spacious feel.A A wall cabinet was added atop the counter, which not only created more storage, but adds visual interest to the large, high wall above. A 28”x40” Japanese soaking tub was designed specifically for the space to allow total body immersion with a smaller footprint. The client, an active athlete, enjoys its therapeutic benefits. The tub was moved to the wall opposite the sinks. We moved the vanity a bit to the left to create more room for the shower. The formerly
cramped 36”x36” corner shower stall was expanded to 40”x60”.
Pendant lights that hang over each sink replaced the insufficient recessed lights. Without sacrificing any functionality (in fact storage space was increased), this bathroom now feels more open and spacious. A calm retreat from a busy, stressful world.
Once again, Kat Robbins Interiors and Superior Woodcraft worked together to bring utility, beauty and harmony into this client's home and life.
