The master bath was the only area left in the house that hadn’t been remodeled since the homeowners moved in. But just because it was the last room transformed in the house doesn’t mean it was the least important. “Our clients desired a glowing transitional bathroom with the same sophistication and cohesive architectural vocabulary found throughout their home,” says designer Paul Knutson. “They wanted a more open plan, better lighting and storage, a more luxurious bathing experience and a more defined connection with the master bedroom.”
