In season 2, episode 12 of Bath Crashers, entitled "Contemporary Metal Spa," the host Matt Muenster and his team are tasked with transforming an outdated bathroom into a modern masterpiece. The homeowners, a family of five, are looking for a serene spa-like retreat where they can unwind after a long day.
Matt and his crew start by tearing apart the old bathroom and removing everything down to the studs. They decide to keep the existing layout of the space, but completely update the look with sleek, contemporary finishes and fixtures.
To create a spa-like atmosphere, they choose a calming color palette of soft blues and grays and incorporate natural elements like wood and stone. Matt also introduces metal accents throughout the space, including a custom metal tub, to add a modern edge.
One of the standout features of this bathroom is the shower. Matt and his team install a massive shower enclosure with multiple showerheads, including a rain showerhead on the ceiling, and bench seating. The entire space is tiled from floor to ceiling with a striking combination of white and blue glass tiles.
To add even more luxury to the space, they install a floating vanity with dual sinks and a matte black faucet. The vanity is topped with a sleek quartz countertop and includes ample storage for towels and toiletries.
Another unique feature of this bathroom is the metal bathtub. Matt works with a local metal artist to create a custom tub that fits perfectly in the space. The tub is made of hand-formed stainless steel and includes a sloped back for ultimate comfort. Matt and his team install the tub in its own nook with dramatic lighting overhead to highlight its sleek design.
To complete the spa-like experience, they install a state-of-the-art sound system that can be controlled from a smartphone. The speakers are hidden throughout the space, including in the showerhead and tub, to create a fully immersive experience.
Overall, the family is thrilled with their new contemporary metal spa bathroom. Matt's choice of calming colors, natural elements, and metal accents creates a sophisticated and luxurious space that they can truly relax in.
