How we brought the vision to life
The Before Stage
The old layout was dominated by a large tub and dated tile surround that took up valuable space without adding much function. We cleared it all out, opening the room for a spacious walk-in shower with a built-in bench and sleek tile niches – simple upgrades that made the space instantly feel more open and usable.
Design & Planning Stage
We reconfigured the shower footprint to make space for a custom cabinet tower, with upper storage for essentials and pull-out hampers below for easy laundry access. The new vanity pairs beautifully with polished gold-framed recessed mirrors that conceal extra storage. To maintain a clean, modern look, we chose large-format tile and porcelain slabs, then added charming small-scale floor tile for a touch of European character.
Finished Project
The result is a bathroom that feels polished and welcoming, with thoughtful details at every turn. It’s bright, organized, and has a touch of luxury, just what our clients were hoping for. The new layout and upgraded finishes create a space that feels like a true retreat, where every element of the reimagined bathroom looks intentional and refined.
