Something we love to do is create spaces out of nothing. In this little Cape Cod house, we created an entire master suite upstairs, so that the main floor bedrooms could be used for the client’s kids.

At the beginning of this project, there was no bathroom upstairs, but to make it a true master suite, we incorporated one by centering two floating vanities from Wayfair around the existing window.

By keeping the shower in the center of the room, we didn’t have to change the height with the sloping walls. In the shower, we used a simple subway tile on the walls, and a beautiful penny round tile for the shower floor and the shampoo niche, which adds a focal interest.

One challenge a space like this gives is the sloping ceiling on either side of the room. In the bathroom, we utilized the knee wall for storage in an otherwise unusable space. Not only does it create extra storage, it also frees up the precious square footage of the room to make it feel spacious and not too crowded by adding shelving units.

For the floors, we chose a sheet vinyl flooring that looks like individual hexagonal tiles. It gives the same illusion of tile, but is more cost effective.

In the bedroom, we added a closet to the left of the bed for taller storage than the knee walls would allow. Because the closet couldn’t be too large, we also added storage along the knee wall. Inside, each section varies between shelves and clothing rods to give them a variety of storage and utilizing the space we had available.

In the space before exiting the master suite, we incorporated a reading nook with an Eames chair for lounging, and a space to display decor and store books. It’s a great area for relaxing or working from home (as many are doing at this time).
