When planning out your master bathroom remodel, there are a few things that will make this room your ultimate relaxation zone! Take your next remodeling project to the next level with these ideas from our PBH Builders design team in San Diego!
Double Vanity
Our first must-have isn’t so groundbreaking. But it’s so essential to any master bathroom that we have to mention it! Even if you’re not sharing your master bathroom, having the double vanity can increase your home value.
Touchless faucet or single-hand faucet
Speaking of vanities, you’ll want to choose the right hardware! Touchless faucets are popular with modern remodels because they keep your space cleaner.
Of course, not everyone likes a touchless faucet, as they can sometimes be finicky. Instead, you might enjoy a quality single-hand faucet. These are more convenient and sleeker than your traditional bathroom sink faucet knobs.
Tech integration
There are lots of ways that you can incorporate technology into your bathroom remodel. Here are a few:
- Smart toilet
- Smart shower
- LED mirrors
- Bathroom speakers

Ventilation
Good air flow is key in any master bathroom remodel. This is especially true if you’re interested in the latest bathroom sauna trend that’s taking over the internet!
Storage options
The best bathroom remodel designs are the ones that are going to continue looking amazing years after our job is done. And one way to achieve that is with proper storage options that will cut down on clutter. Here are a few ideas:
- Personalized storage solutions for your most-used items. Whether you use a hairdryer, electric shaver, make-up supplies, or skin products, having the right place to store them will simplify your routine.
- Towel storage. Towels that are currently in use should be placed in a strategic area that will get the most air flow and be convenient to reach when you’re stepping out of the shower. Fresh towels will also need a hidden storage area to keep things tidy.
- Toilet paper, hygiene products and other essentials. No more shoving everything under the sink and digging around when you need a new roll of TP. Compartmentalized storage will keep things organized.
Windows
Natural light is a great choice for any room of your home, but things get tricky when it comes to the bathroom! You want to maximize that sunshine without sacrificing privacy. There are many different solutions, such as lightly frosted windows, shutters, sheer curtains, or mirror glass.
There’s also the option to install smart glass, or switchable glass, which toggles between transparent and frosted or tinted glass on command.
The right countertop material
We often get asked what the best countertop material is for bathrooms. The key is to choose something that is resistant to warping from humidity (so wooden countertops are out) and staining from toothpaste, beauty products, and standing water (goodbye marble.)
Granite, quartz, and modern tile are durable, stain-resistant options that are great for bathroom countertops.
A touch of nature
Natural materials are a good way to add depth and character to your bathroom. Plus, they create a sense of calm and relaxation. Here are a few ways that you can incorporate natural elements:
- Wood accents. Treated wood can be a good option for your bathroom as long as you have good ventilation and aren’t exposing the wood to contact with water. Storage shelves, window frames, or small stools or side tables are good options for wood accents.
- Plants. Humidity-loving plants are perfect for bathroom decor! They’ll make your space feel lush and tranquil without needing too much care to thrive.
- Terracotta tilework or accents. Terracotta is a rich material that is popular in bathrooms here in San Diego. That’s because it adds a natural element with lots of personality and charm. Whether you opt for a terracotta tile floor, backsplash, or planters, this natural material will elevate your bathroom remodel.
- Woven wool rug. We know, it feels wrong to put wool in the bathroom. But actually, you can use wool rugs in your bathroom design with confidence! This material will release moisture faster than acrylic fibers and withstand the high traffic of your bathroom.
Standing shower
It’s 2024, and we’re getting away from shower/bath combos that force you to step precariously in and out of the bath everyday. Instead, consider installing a standing shower in your next master bath remodel for ease and beauty.
Want to make this feature even more appealing? Consider a double standing shower!
Separate tub
If you have the space, a separate tub will make your master bathroom look absolutely luxurious. One option is to go with a classic look by installing a vintage clawfoot tub. Or, step into the future with a more modern freestanding tub. What we like about these modern tubs is that they can be designed for a more comfortable soaking experience. No more trying to find the perfect position to enjoy your bubble bath!
