Working within an extremely small footprint in an original 1951 home, Sheryl Steinberg, Allied ASID, LEED Green Associate, of Sheryl Steinberg Interior Design, LLC in Bethesda, MD, was tasked with creating an open, modern, bright, efficient, usable, roomier bathroom that reflected the owner’s modern style. “I needed to design a functional and efficient bathroom while also opening up the existing space both visually and functionally,” said Steinberg. “I kept the design simple, streamlined, balanced and modern. They wanted a complete transformation into a brightly lit, modern bathroom with storage and the most efficient use of the space they had.
“I had to multi-task, multi-use the space that I had to work with to fit in what was needed for a modern family to grown with where none existed in the current original space,” Steinberg went onto say. “For example, a tiled niche that serves as a shelf and focal point, LED-lit mirror that serves as a mirror, and task lighting and USB/electrical outlet, glass shower enclosure that serves as a towel bar and clear glass opens up the space and modern design element with light reflection from the chrome hardware, new vanity with storage for bath products, etc. This is the main family bath, as well as for guests so it had to serve multiple purposes.”
