The primary bathroom, once dark and cramped with a small, impractical shower, was in need of a full update. The homeowners wanted a brighter, more spacious design with improved functionality, easier maintenance, and enhanced lighting.

Expanding the shower required borrowing space from the adjacent primary closet, which in turn needed careful reconfiguration. New shelving and organizational features were added to maintain storage and accessibility without compromising the bedroom suite. The new shower, nearly twice the size of the original, features a generous seat, light-toned tile, and a frameless glass enclosure. A heated floor in a herringbone pattern adds both comfort and visual interest. Custom cabinetry maximizes functionality, while granite countertops coordinate seamlessly with the tile and wall palette. Elegant details—crystal chandelier, glass cabinet pulls, and a freestanding tub—introduce sophistication and a sense of airiness.
