The master bathroom suite is one of the highest-ROI rooms in any Brevard County home. A well-designed master suite (or "primary suite" - same room, modern terminology) becomes a daily retreat for the homeowners and a major selling point if the home is ever listed. Most Brevard master bath remodels run $25,000-80,000 depending on tier.
Master Suite Layout Principles
Separate water closet (toilet) from the main vanity zone. Walk-in shower minimum 36x60 inches, 42x72+ is comfortable, 48x84+ feels luxurious. Freestanding tub if space allows (separate from shower). Double vanity if width allows (60-72 inch minimum). Walk-in closet connection or separate dressing area in larger suites.
Walk-In Shower Design
Walk-in showers (no tub) are increasingly the only shower in primary suites - many homeowners realize they never use the tub. Curbless entry (see curbless shower guide), multiple shower heads (rain head + handheld + body sprays optional), built-in bench, niche for products, premium tile.
Freestanding Tub Considerations
Freestanding tubs (vs built-in deck tubs) are visually stunning but require more floor space (4-5 ft clearance around minimum). Faucet must be floor-mounted or wall-mounted. Drain plumbing comes up through the floor. Costs: $1,200-4,500 for the tub itself, $1,500-4,000 for installation including plumbing.
