From Dated to Dream Bathroom: A Complete Transformation in Salt Lake County

Oct 7

Introduction:
A well-designed bathroom should be both a functional space for your daily routine and a personal retreat where you can unwind. Unfortunately, many standardized and mass produced bathrooms fall short on both counts. We recently completed a full top-to-bottom bathroom remodel that transformed a vacant, underutilized space into a spacious, modern oasis. This project showcases how strategic updates—from custom tile work to smart storage solutions—can completely revolutionize one of the most important rooms in your home.

The Challenge: Making the Most of a Dated Layout

The original bathroom suffered from several common issues:

A single vanity that limited storage and counter space
Wasted space that offered no functional value
Outdated fixtures and lighting
A shower that lacked both style and practicality

The Solution: A Complete Bathroom Transformation

Custom Tile Shower with Bench
We replaced the standard shower with a fully custom tiled shower featuring a built-in bench. This isn't just a luxury—it's a practical addition that enhances safety and comfort. The bench provides a convenient spot for shower essentials and makes the space accessible for users of all ages and abilities.

Single to Double Vanity Upgrade
The transition from a single to double vanity with a white quartz countertop dramatically improved the bathroom's functionality. The quartz surface offers durability and easy maintenance, while the double sinks accommodate multiple users during busy mornings. The additional storage below keeps countertops clear and organized.

Smart Storage Solutions
We identified and transformed wasted space by framing in and building a custom closet. This added significant storage without reducing the room's footprint, proving that even in smaller bathrooms, intelligent design can create ample storage.

Complete Flooring Replacement
New waterproof luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout the space, providing both style and practicality. The flooring complements the new color scheme while offering durability and water resistance.

Lighting and Finishing Touches
We replaced all light fixtures with modern, energy-efficient options that provide excellent illumination for grooming tasks while enhancing the room's aesthetic. The final touch—a fresh coat of sage green paint—ties everything together, creating a calm, spa-like atmosphere.

Why Consider a Full Bathroom Remodel?

Increased Functionality: Smart layouts and quality fixtures make daily routines smoother
Added Home Value: Bathroom remodels offer excellent return on investment
Improved Energy Efficiency: Modern fixtures and lighting reduce utility costs
Enhanced Safety: Features like built-in shower benches and slip-resistant flooring are especially valuable for families with children or aging members

Design Choices That Made the Difference

Sage Green and Matte Black Color Scheme
The sage green walls create a soothing, natural backdrop that never feels overwhelming. This versatile color pairs beautifully with both warm and cool tones, allowing for easy accessory changes in the future.

Quartz Countertops
We selected quartz for its non-porous surface (resistant to stains and bacteria), durability, and timeless appearance. The white quartz particularly complements the sage green walls while reflecting light to brighten the space.

Custom Storage Integration
By building the closet into previously wasted space, we maintained an open feel while adding functionality. This type of custom solution is what sets professional remodels apart from standard renovations.
