The larger vanity has an off-set sink, plentiful counter space, medicine cabinet, and make-up mirror.

Matching cabinet, W/C, and shower hardware are cohesive and timeless.

Stylish grab bars, a teak fold-down shower seat, and a bench across from the shower provide desired safety without incorporating all aspects of Universal Design. The large-scale wall tile is low maintenance, and the linear drain is tucked beneath the shower seat.

Modern Bathroom Remodel: Illuminated Elegance

Home can evoke memories of unique and unforgettable places while offering function and style. These homeowners wanted to transform their cramped, clumsy main bath into an airy, yet private space filled with light and Euro elegance. We listened.

The layout of this dark bathroom was inconvenient and exposed. A large, unused tub commanded most of the space, leaving little room for the shower, toilet, and vanity. The new floorplan eliminated the bathtub, creating a spacious retreat with separate vanities, abundant storage, stunning sandblasted glass doors, and plenty of privacy.

Dramatic Design Features 

Private

Partially frosted glass doors enclose the water closet and shower, providing desired privacy while letting in natural light and contributing to the bathroom’s spaciousness.

The well-lit water closet has a wall-hung toilet, grab bars, and a niche for extra toilet paper.

Cambria countertops are durable, attractive and low-maintenance.

Elegant

Once dark, crowded, and outdated, the main bath now evokes the luxury and elegance of a European hotel desired by the homeowners. Chic white cabinetry, slab countertops, square sinks, and porcelain flooring create a neutral aesthetic harmonious with the main bedroom.

Light-Filled

Layered natural and artificial light sources, including windows in the water closet and shower, recessed can, task, and toe kick lighting, illuminate the spa-like bath.
