These Designers Transformed an Empty Bedroom Into a Hidden Bathroom Oasis

What do you do if you want to add an en suite master bathroom to your home? Of course, give up the extra bedroom to build your dream bathroom.

Megan Crosbie, principal designer and founder of Megan Crosbie Design, had two clients who wanted to create a bathroom for their first home by replacing one of the bedrooms, and Crosbie actually demonstrated the idea to a greater extent. The result is a chic, neutral bathroom with an open plan and thoughtful details – the perfect place for a little rest and relaxation.

Bloor West Bath was designed to make the space as warm and welcoming as possible, essentially turning it into a private oasis in the master bedroom. Crosby’s clients favored a calming, neutral color palette, and Crosby also worked with a variety of textures to create a space that offered plenty of visual appeal.

Crosby and her client wanted to create a calming, spa-like atmosphere in the bathroom. Warm neutral colors make the space feel both cozy and relaxing; Crosby used polished brass for all the bathroom fixtures, creating a luxurious feel.

The vanity features clever shelving and storage solutions, while open linen shelving at the base creates a true spa-like feel. Sleek handles on drawers and vanities complement the adjacent sink and shower. Double sinks add a bit of symmetry, while warm lighting and a large mirror make the space feel larger and brighter.
One of the best parts of the master bathroom is the giant freestanding bathtub, which also has brass fixtures to connect it to the rest of the bathroom. It sits next to a large window that is partially frosted to allow Crosby’s clients to absorb more light. The walls around the tub are tiled, creating an accent wall to match the shower stall.

The floor is tiled in gold-honed Calacatta marble, matching the neutral, luxurious theme of the bathroom. These floor tiles are used both inside and outside the bathroom, helping the space feel more open and cohesive.
The master bedroom also features warm neutrals, so using the same color palette in the bathroom will create a seamless transition from one room to the next. This makes the bathroom feel more integrated and thoughtful—as if the two spaces weren’t originally separate bedrooms.

To embody the bathroom’s “hidden serenity” theme, this space features a hidden door that houses bedroom-style storage. When open, the bathroom has a natural transition; when it’s closed you never expect the room to have a bathroom.
