Project Spotlight: Transforming a Master Bath into a Spa Oasis

At Blue Water Design Build, we recently had the pleasure of transforming a dated master bathroom in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood into a luxurious spa-like retreat. Our clients came to us with a clear vision: they wanted to create a serene and functional space that would provide a perfect place to unwind after a long day.

Challenges of the Existing Layout

The original master bathroom posed several challenges:

  • Swinging doors to the water closet took up valuable space
  • A deep jetted bathtub/shower combo was outdated and inefficient
  • A porthole window from the bathroom to the bedroom compromised privacy

Our team worked closely with the homeowners to address these issues and create a bathroom that met their needs and exceeded their expectations.

Creating a Spa-Like Atmosphere

To achieve the desired spa-like ambiance, we selected high-end finishes and fixtures:

  • Granite Countertops: Elegant granite countertops were chosen for their durability and timeless beauty. Due to the bathroom’s location, the countertops had to be carefully lifted into place using a boom truck through the sliding doors and deck.
  • Freestanding Tub: A stunning standalone tub was positioned to take advantage of the scenic views from the deck, creating a perfect spot for relaxation. A granite wall slab behind the tub adds a touch of luxury.
  • Custom Shower: The new shower is equipped with all the bells and whistles, including a beautifully lit tile feature niche, providing a spa-like experience.
  • Custom Cabinetry: To maintain consistency with the rest of the home, we installed custom cabinets that match the existing style. The cabinets feature convenient pull-outs and outlets for hair tools, ensuring functionality meets style.

Attention to Detail

No spa-like bathroom is complete without a well-appointed water closet. We installed a high-end bidet and custom wainscoting that seamlessly blends with the home’s original Craftsman-style molding. These thoughtful details elevate the overall design and create a cohesive look throughout the space.

The Final Result

The outcome of this Ballard bathroom remodel is a true oasis—a perfect blend of luxury, functionality, and style. By working closely with our clients and carefully considering every detail, we were able to transform a dated, inefficient space into a beautiful, spa-like retreat that will provide enjoyment for years to come.
