Best of Bathrooms: A Look Back at Our Favorite Bathroom Transformations

A beautiful bathroom should feel just as intentional as the rest of the home. Over the years, we've designed bathrooms of all sizes and styles, from hardworking family spaces to serene, spa-inspired retreats. While every project has its own story, each one balances function, thoughtful material selections, and timeless design.

Here's a look at some of our favorite bathroom transformations.

Bathroom No. 1 | Mixing Materials & Finishes

The Challenge:
We wanted to create a bathroom with plenty of visual interest without making the space feel busy.

The Design Solution:
Instead of relying on one statement material, we layered several complementary finishes. The combination of textured wallpaper, blue tile, warm wood, and brushed gold creates depth while keeping the overall palette cohesive.

Materials & Details:

  • Star + Cross Denim Tile

  • Wallpaper

  • Brushed Moderne Brass Fixtures

Design Detail:
The key to mixing materials is finding a common thread, whether that's color, undertone, texture, or finish.

Bathroom No. 2 | Creating a Modern Spa-Like Retreat

The Challenge:
The goal was to transform a dated early 2000’s bathroom into a space that felt calm, elevated, and a little adventurous.

The Design Solution:
Wood-look tile instantly warmed this bathroom up, along with a creamy, just-barely-there yellow wall paint fluted tile, and MCM vanities. We used greens of various shades to envelope you with a lush feel.

Materials & Details:

  • Fluted wall tile

  • Wood-look tile

  • James Martin Vanities

  • Matte black milk-glass sconces

  • Green Zellige tile

  • Tropical leaf wallpaper

Design Detail:
Pairing high-contrast colors with earthy tones and textures really softens the look.

Before:
This bathroom had a cozy, welcoming feel, but its dated finishes kept the space from feeling as fresh and elevated as it could. The goal was to preserve its warmth while giving the room a more refined, spa-like sense of calm. And providing more functional storage while brightening up their dark corner shower.

Bathroom No. 3 | Tropical Powder Room

The Challenge:
This powder room was so forgettable; we wanted to create more intentionality and make it more memorable for guests.

The Design Solution:
We increased the size of the vanity to create more functional storage while keeping the overall layout feeling open and balanced. Wainscoting and wallpaper added the texture this space was missing.

Materials & Details:

  • Pre-made vanity

  • Banana leaf wallpaper

  • Brass fixtures

  • Floating wood shelves

Bathroom No. 4 | Cluttered 70’s bath turned Modern Day

The Challenge:
The existing bathroom felt dated with a too-short vanity and overwhelming wood finishes. The shower was tiny and not very functional.

The Design Solution:
We created a much more sleek look and larger shower with a spa-like feel.

Materials & Details:

  • Wood Vanity + Countertop

  • Rustic sconces

  • Serene blue shower tile

  • Large format floor tile

Bathroom No. 5 | Making the Most of a Small Space

The Challenge:
This bathroom had limited square footage, so every selection needed to work hard.

The Design Solution:
We focused on maximizing function while visually opening up the room. A streamlined vanity, carefully scaled fixtures, and a cohesive tile palette help the space feel larger and more intentional.

Materials & Details:

  • Fluted Green vanity

  • Zellige square tile

  • Mixed metal Vanity Light

  • Taupe beadboard + chair rail

Design Detail:
In smaller bathrooms, thoughtful scale can make just as much of an impact as the materials themselves.

Bathroom No. 6 | Timeless & Traditional

The Challenge:
The homeowners wanted a bathroom facelift that felt classic and elevated while still functioning for everyday life.

The Design Solution:
Expanding the tile floor to ceiling + adding a custom cafe shower curtain while swapping fixtures really elevated this space.

Materials & Details:

  • Light filtering cafe curtain

  • Aged brass rod

  • Large format serene tile

Before

Bathroom No. 7 | A Modern Moment

The Challenge:
A bathroom without natural light that still makes a statement.

The Design Solution:
We leaned into lots of texture since we didn’t have any natural light to help create shadows - this allows this bath to still feel like it has plenty of depth and interest.

Materials & Details:

  • Fluted wood vanity

  • Denim Star + Cross tile

  • Cream Zellige subway tile

  • Brushed Moderne Brass fixtures

  • Oversized brass towel hooks

The Details Make the Difference

Across all of our bathroom projects, we approach selections with more than just aesthetics in mind. Tile, countertops, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, hardware, mirrors, and lighting all need to work together.

The right combination of materials can completely change how a bathroom feels and thoughtful planning can make the space significantly more functional at the same time.
