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.
Other upgrades included a new headknocker cabinet, an upgraded toilet, a widened entryway, and a new window that preserved natural light while blending seamlessly with the refreshed design. The waterfall-edge countertop was the perfect finishing touch, bringing an extra layer of luxury.
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.
