In season 1 episode 6 of Bath Crashers, called "Modern Make Over," host and contractor Matt Muenster takes on a dated and cramped bathroom in a suburban home and transforms it into a sleek, modern space.
The homeowners, a couple with a busy lifestyle, have been living with their outdated bathroom for quite some time and are ready for a change. They love the idea of a modern, minimalist look and feel, and have even picked out some sleek new fixtures to incorporate into the design.
Muenster begins by removing the old tub and shower surround, which were in poor condition and taking up too much space in the small room. He replaces them with a spacious walk-in shower featuring body sprays and a rain showerhead, and finishes the walls with gray subway tile and a band of mosaic tile.
To save space and create a more streamlined look, Muenster installs a wall-hung toilet and a compact floating vanity with a shallow vessel sink. The vanity also features a large, built-in storage drawer that helps keep clutter off the countertop.
The homeowners had requested a separate makeup area, and Muenster delivers with a clever solution: he installs a custom makeup shelf above the toilet, complete with a mirror, task lighting, and plenty of storage for cosmetics and other necessities.
Muenster also adds some high-end touches to the space, including a heated tile floor, a towel warmer, and a voice-activated sound system that allows the homeowners to listen to music or news while they get ready in the morning.
Throughout the renovation, Muenster also takes care to incorporate the homeowners' preferred color scheme of gray, white, and black. The gray subway tile and mosaic band provide a neutral backdrop, while the black fixtures (including the showerhead and faucet) and black-framed mirror add contrast and interest.
In the end, the homeowners are thrilled with their new bathroom, which combines form and function in a sleek and modern design. With its spacious walk-in shower, clever storage solutions, and high-end touches, the new bathroom is sure to make their mornings a little brighter.
