In season 2, episode 4 of Bath Crashers, titled "Clean and Green," host Matt Muenster takes on a bathroom renovation with a focus on sustainability. The homeowners are a couple who are passionate about eco-friendly living, and they are in desperate need of a bathroom makeover. Their current space is small, outdated, and in need of serious TLC.
Matt's first step is to completely gut the bathroom and start fresh with sustainable materials. He chooses cork flooring, which is durable, renewable, and naturally hypoallergenic. For the walls, he selects eco-friendly paint that is free from harmful chemicals. He also installs a high-efficiency toilet and a low-flow showerhead to reduce water usage.
Next, Matt tackles the design of the space. He creates an open-concept layout that maximizes the available square footage. He also incorporates plenty of storage to keep the space clutter-free. For a modern touch, he installs a sleek wall-mounted vanity with a recycled glass countertop and an undermount sink.
One of the most impressive features of this bathroom makeover is the shower. Matt creates a custom shower that is both luxurious and eco-friendly. He installs a rainwater collection system on the roof of the house, which feeds into the showerhead. This allows the homeowners to use rainwater instead of tap water for their showers. The shower itself is made from recycled glass tiles, and a low-flow showerhead ensures that the water is used efficiently.
To finish off the space, Matt adds some stylish and sustainable accessories. He chooses bamboo towels, a bamboo bath mat, and a bamboo robe hook. He also installs a bamboo privacy screen that adds a natural element to the space while providing privacy.
Overall, this episode of Bath Crashers showcases how sustainable design can be both functional and beautiful. The homeowners are thrilled with their new bathroom, which not only looks great but also helps them live a more eco-friendly lifestyle. Matt's innovative design ideas and focus on sustainability make this episode a must-watch for anyone looking to renovate their bathroom with a conscience.
