A once-outdated, tight space has been transformed into a light, airy, and modern bathroom that is inviting and functional.
Before the Remodel: Elegant, yet slightly outdated and in need of a modern refresh
The old bathroom design used outdated materials and did not flow and function well. The vanity was cramped, the wallpaper surrounded the room in its retro flowered pattern, and the tile floor was tattered and separated from the balance of decor within the room. Although structurally the shower and bathtub were in good condition, they now no longer possessed the design attractive qualities desired by homeowners of today's era. The room itself stood waiting to be remodeled.

The Homeowner’s Vision
The homeowners wanted a space that felt serene and clean but also warm and textured. Our design team worked closely with them to build a vision rooted in clean lines, earthy tones, and rich contrasts. The goal was to eliminate visual clutter and infuse a modern design that would also feel cozy and inviting.
To accomplish this, we opted for a minimalist yet sophisticated palette. Warm wood tones were introduced through a vertical slatted wood-look tile wall in the shower and behind the new vanity. This organic texture balanced beautifully with the clean whites and marble finishes seen throughout the space. We complemented this with a sleek black matte finish for all fixtures and hardware—providing a stunning contrast that tied the entire look together.
The Remodeling Process: Elevating Style and Comfort
Like with all of our projects, demolition was the first step—down to the studs. We pulled out all prior wall coverings, fixtures, lighting, and flooring. The new design kept the original footprint but elevated every single detail.
The shower area was thoroughly renovated. Goodbye to the generic tub/shower combo, hello to a big walk-in shower with oversized-format marble-look tile for walls and black slate mosaic tile on the floor for durability and curb appeal. A recessed niche with white trim provides a clean look plus useful storage.
The vanity was custom to match the room's size, with white cabinetry in crisp white with soft-close drawers, graphic matte black pulls, and a gorgeous quartz countertop that mimics natural stone. The vertical wood tile feature wall behind the mirror and modern black sconces makes for a dramatic focal point, giving the space depth and dimension.
Lighting was redefined as well. We put in soft-glow recessed lighting in the ceiling and combined it with directional vanity sconces to deliver ambiance and definition. We also maximized ventilation and comfort by upgrading ductwork and electrical.
The Final Result: Modern, Warm, and Luxurious
The complete bathroom is a harmonious combination of contemporary style and warm, organic textures. The juxtaposition of the black fixtures and white tile faces creates a sophisticated designer feel for the room, with the wood wall accents providing an earthy and soothing counterpoint. From the modern floating vanity to the glass shower panel with no seams, every aspect of the bathroom was crafted to be felt as thoughtful and high-end.
The end result bears witness to the power of good design: function and form meet in a space that is twice as large and infinitely more calming. The owners enjoy a bathroom that is not only visually appealing but functional for everyday needs.
