While the existing layout wasn’t inherently flawed, this primary bathroom felt outdated and lacked the desired aesthetic appeal for our client. The goal was to revitalize the space, catering to her refined taste while ensuring a bright, inviting ambiance. The client wanted a comfortable and classy gender-neutral design that would retain its updated look and have broad appeal for eventual resale.

Design Objectives:

• Create a spacious, luxurious shower enclosure.
• Incorporate ample storage for towels, linens and an extensive hair care collection.
• Embrace a transitional design style that blends contemporary and classic elements.
• Establish a harmonious color palette that complements the home’s new black window frames
• Ensure a future-proof design to maximize resale potential

THE REMODEL

Design Challenges:

•  Integrating a spacious shower within the existing layout

• Ensuring accessible towel and robe storage near the shower and tub areas

• Providing adequate task lighting while also highlighting bottles and glassware on open shelving

• Finding dedicated storage for hair care essentials and accessories
• Maximizing linen storage while minimizing clutter
• Decluttering the tub niche area
• Tall angled ceiling almost too dramatic

Design Solutions:

• Designing fully custom base cabinetry that prioritized core bar functions and used every inch efficiently, including split cabinetry and compact waste storage.
• Selecting a drawer-style refrigeration unit that combines refrigeration and freezer capabilities, allowing ice storage without sacrificing valuable width
• Layering lighting with integrated LED strip lighting above and below the shelves, paired with decorative articulating fixtures to support both display and task lighting
• Using a chevron-patterned natural stone tile backsplash to introduce movement, texture, and subtle color variation while keeping surrounding surfaces intentionally restrained
• Specifying metal cabinetry in a soft blue tone with integrated brass framing to establish a distinctive visual identity that harmonizes with the home’s broader palette

This primary bathroom remodel blends style and functionality, catering to the client’s discerning taste while ensuring adaptability for future needs. The harmonious fusion of contemporary and classic elements, coupled with innovated storage solutions and lighting choices, creating a sanctuary that exudes elegance and comfort.
