With a true appreciation for relaxation and organization, the owners of this suburban Chicago home envisioned converting their cramped four-bedroom upper level to a roomy three-bedroom space. After hiring designer Nick G. Virgilio, CKD, CGR of Janco Design Group, Inc. to assume the challenge, these dreams were made a reality.

The project focus was creating a master suite, which would include everything from a walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry to a spacious master bathroom. The challenge of this plan was meeting all of the homeowners’ desires by using only the existing space. After decisions were finalized for the bedroom part of the suite, including new windows, beautiful oak hardwood floors and a grand double-door entry, attention was then turned to the bathroom. By relocating the existing closet, enough room was created to more than double the size of the existing bathroom. This allowed for the new bathroom to include a six-foot MTI Whirlpool tub, a four-foot neo-angle shower base as well as a double vanity with a tall linen storage cabinet. The linen cabinet conceals a small television with a cable connection, allowing the homeowners to unwind in a pool of comfort in their new whirlpool tub. Installing two overhead skylights created plentiful natural light, which helped to accentuate the beautiful quartz countertops.

The focal point of this bathroom, however, is the gorgeous tile work. Both the walls and the floor are covered with Florida Tile’s porcelain Las Olas collection, with the layout created by the homeowners themselves. In the end, the homeowners are left with a gorgeous, spacious and luxurious ambiance in which they can relax and soak up the comforts of home.
