Bathroom remodel, consistent theme?

[Jordan Low]

Greetings,

In my 3 bed 2.5 SFR I have one bathroom that was remodeled. Picture is below.

I am going to be remodeling the master bathroom soon.  It has the same layout as the bathroom posted above.  My question is do I have to have a similar theme for these bathrooms?  Would it hurt value to have the master a different theme and look?  I am currently living in this house, but at the end of the day I want to maximize resale/renting value.

The master looks like this except I ripped out the gross shower doors and put a curtain, also replaced the vanity/sink just so it was livable for me.

I wanted to go more a more modern contemporary theme sort of like the picture below... I would also want a standing shower instead of a tub.  Would getting rid of the tub cause any concerns?  This would mean the master bathroom would have no tub, but another bathroom would.  All in all though I just want something nice and timeless that adds value.

Cliffs:

1. I want to maximize value for resale/future rental.
2. Do I need to have a consistent theme throughout the house?
3. I am really bad with style.  What are some good timeless bathroom schemes?
4. For master bathroom, removal of tub for standing shower a good idea?  There is a tub in another bathroom

Please let me know if you have any other questions.  Hopefully I didn't miss a thread with this problem already answered.

Thanks!

I love what you did with the bathroom with the tub.  And I love your idea of how you want the master bath.  When I was renting apartments - 25 units - over an 8 year period, not one applicant complained that the units only had showers.  And having the tub in the other bathroom would give them a tub for kids or if they ever wanted to take a bath.  But most people prefer showers.

That's my opinion from a manager's point of view, and from my own point of view if I was to rent or buy your unit, I'd love the shower in the master.

I think you're better at design than you think.

Oh, and I actually think it would be weird if both bathrooms were identical.  So, different is better in my opinion.  Sticking to neutral colors is a good idea.  I'm relieved you aren't in love with the hot pink.
