Challenge

This family came to Gayler Design Build to create a room addition, with a request for a unified, functional space that was both modern and classic and easy to maintain. With four kids in tow, there was a need for a new bedroom, bathroom and a homework station, which could double as a place for the kids to create art.

Solution

The well-lit functional workspace was designed with a built-in art desk, a black chalkboard painted wall, and plenty of task lighting, complete with a skylight. The bedroom and bathroom were integrated into the new space and designed for the client’s teenage daughter—made to reflect her unique teen style.

Lining the bathroom shower walls is a Cultured Granite grey pearl shower wall slab, which is easy to clean. A white vanity cabinet with a marble countertop was installed, and the hardware was replaced with fun, antique brass bar pulls to give it a fresh, custom look. To add a touch of sparkle and warmth, contemporary plumbing fixtures were chosen in polished nickel. Luxury Vinyl Tile flooring (LVT) was installed with dark grey grout, as a warmer and softer alternative to porcelain tile. Other features of the bathroom include a striking accent wall painted in Kelly Moore, Lamp Post, which creates a beautiful contrast to the antique brass and white materials. A round antique brass mirror, with articulating arm wall sconces, finish off the room beautifully.

The new bedroom was designed to reflect the teenager’s personality, giving her a space that she could call her own—making sure to include mirrored closet doors, LED can lights, and two large windows to let in plenty of natural light.
