This client came to us ready for a full transformation of their early 2000s-era primary bathroom and closet. Their cherished home was built in 2004, bought in 2009, and was now ready for a more refined, contemporary look. The homeowners wanted a fresh and modern space free of the warm beige tones and the Tuscan Rustic vibes of the past. Guided by their wish for a boost in both functionality and style, we expanded the shower, added some amazing new elements, and updated all cabinetry. Their spacious new bathroom has become an inviting space where elegance meets everyday comfort.

01
The Before Stage
This bathroom was a classic example of early 2000s design, complete with many style elements that have since fallen out of favor and features that no longer suited the client’s practical needs. The space was dominated by warm beige paint and wood tones that gave it a dated “Tuscan” vibe. The original shower was small, glass-enclosed, and hard to access. Even though this bathroom is pretty spacious, there was almost no practical storage or any seating areas in the original design. The homeowners longed for a bathroom whose design is much more contemporary and that provided the functionality they needed.

Design & Planning Stage
To make this new bathroom, we meticulously selected each element to achieve an airy layout and a cohesive design. We created a sleek base with the new Contessa Dama floor tiles, chose Sherwin Williams Passive for the walls to make the ambiance soothing, and paired it with Sherwin Williams Storm Cloud on the cabinets to add a refined contrast. We removed the old shower and made space for a new, bigger one, to which we then added even more elegance and depth with the Bianco Thassos floor and Sterlina Grey accent wall tiles. The new linen cabinet and a seating bench provided much-needed storage and a comfortable place to sit.

Finished Project
The finished bathroom and adjoining custom closet beautifully combine function and style. The spacious, glass-free shower now feels open and accessible and can offer our clients a spa-like experience right at home. A custom closet setup and a new linen cabinet with a built-in bench provide much more storage and a cozy seating area that makes daily routines much more enjoyable. The updated color palette is much more balanced than the original one and the sleek hardware adds a touch of luxury. Our clients loved how we captured their vision of a modern but comfortable space they’ll enjoy for years to come!
