Featured bathroom designs + remodels

Why bathroom designs + remodels matter

Bathrooms are no longer just functional spaces—they’ve become personal retreats designed for comfort and efficiency. Remodeling one goes beyond selecting new finishes; it involves thoughtful layout adjustments, smart storage solutions, and design choices that align with your daily routines.

Decide what matters

Fit the essentials first, then layer in the extras.

Start by listing your essentials, then your wishlist.
Space is often limited (especially in remodels), requiring smart compromises. You may need to combine a tub and shower, or opt for a deluxe shower with body jets and a bench instead of a tub. Thoughtful planning ensures your must-haves come first, but we can help you create a space that blends function and indulgence.
Bathroom Sink - Kirkland Slim not Shady

Choose the right sink

Pick based on use and countertop type.

Vessel sinks add style and function to powder rooms, while drop-in sinks offer a cost-effective choice for laminate counters. Undermount sinks provide the most functionality but require solid-surface materials like stone or quartz. We ensure every sink type aligns with your space and budget for the perfect fit.

Toilets aren't equal

Research flush performance—not just price.

Elongated bowls offer superior comfort and remain our top choice when space allows. For water efficiency, dual-flush models are ideal. A well-designed flush clears the bowl quickly—don’t be misled by a powerful swirl. The most effective flush evacuates waste efficiently, often leaving the bowl cleaner than one that simply circulates water. If you’re considering a bidet toilet or seat—now or in the future—planning the rough-in correctly is essential.
Tub - Kirkland Slim not Shady

Select your tub

Let space and habits guide the choice.

For a single occupant, a 36″×72″ tub provides ample space. For two, opt for a 42″×72″ model with the filler positioned centrally, allowing occupants to sit in opposite directions. Cast iron offers unmatched durability but is also the heaviest and most expensive option. Acrylic and fiberglass are lighter, more cost-effective alternatives. If using bath products such as oils or salts, choose a tub with air jets rather than water jets to prevent clogging in the internal plumbing. Lastly, while freestanding tubs are popular, drop-in models also have advantages. The best choice depends on the overall layout and the tub’s position relative to other bathroom elements.

Design the shower

Think beyond the minimum.

A well-sized shower is typically 36″ wide by 60″ deep. If space is limited, these dimensions can be reduced, or expanded for a shower designed to accommodate two people. Custom tile bases allow for flexibility in size and shape, as well as the option to eliminate the shower curb for easier access and aging in place. Consider adding features such as a bench, rain heads, hand sprays, or body jets if space allows. Soap and shampoo niches provide convenient storage for everyday essentials.
Bathroom Storage - Woodinville Entertaining Island

Plan for storage

Balance open feel with real function.

Open vanities create a sleek, modern look but offer less storage. Floating vanities provide a similar visual appeal while enhancing functionality when designed with closed storage. To maximize space efficiency, we often integrate drawers for daily essentials, towel racks, medicine cabinets, as well as built-in storage and linen cabinets for added convenience.
Bathroom - Seattle Lakeview Addition

Light your space

Brighter spaces, better functionality.

Windows or skylights brighten the start of your day and enhance the sense of openness in a space. If those aren’t possible, a frosted glass door can bring in borrowed light from an adjacent room. Well-placed mirrors further amplify natural light, making the bathroom feel larger and more inviting. To ensure balanced illumination, also incorporate layered electric lighting—overhead fixtures for general brightness, task lighting around the vanity for precision, accent lighting to highlight architectural features or create a relaxing ambiance, and low-level lighting for nighttime use.

Focus on ventilation

Fans matter as much as windows and help avoid future problems.

Moisture is a bathroom’s biggest enemy. Run the fan for at least 60 minutes after a shower. Installing a timer makes it easy to keep the air dry and fresh while also protecting your finishes for years to come. Proper ventilation also helps prevent mildew and musty odors, keeping the space comfortable and hygienic. For even better air circulation, consider a humidity-sensing fan that automatically adjusts based on moisture levels.
Bathroom timeline - Bellevue Belle View

Plan your timeline

Design and permits take time.

Design usually takes 4–8 weeks. Many Seattle remodels qualify for an STFI permit, which is relatively fast. Construction typically runs 8-16 weeks. Start early to avoid delays, especially if you’re coordinating with other home updates.

Every bathroom remodel is unique. We’ll help you navigate the process with clarity and confidence. Book a free consultation or call 206-204-0490 to discuss your project.

Design powered by advanced technology

Technology - 3D Point Cloud Scanning

3D Point Cloud Scanning

Capturing your existing structure conditions with accurate data so we can create better models in BIM to serve your vision. And help you design for the master plan for your future. Seeing a bigger picture.
The BIM Advantage for Architectural Design

Building Information Model (BIM)

We use Revit, a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software that is beneficial for a range of projects, from single-family residences and partial remodels to larger commercial and facility developments.
Technology - Visualization

Visualization

Since a BIM workflow operates in 3D throughout our design process, we can add detail directly to our schematic designs and provide 3D visualizations that help you better understand how the proposed spaces will feel.
Technology - Lighting Analysis

Lighting Analysis

The BIM model allows us to integrate the precise location of your project, enabling us to address site-specific solar questions and accurately determine the sun’s position relative to your modeled project at any given time and date. As a result, you can see how light will interact with your project before construction begins!
