Project Overview
A Balanced Blend of Comfort and Style
This primary bathroom remodel in Ann Arbor was designed around a simple goal: create a space that feels calm, functional, and timeless. A thoughtful mix of natural materials, modern fixtures, and custom details brings warmth and personality while maintaining a clean, organized feel.
Warm wood Showplace cabinetry anchors the space with practical storage, while crisp white countertops and a freestanding soaking tub create a bright and inviting atmosphere. Green vertical tile adds texture and contrast behind the tub, complemented by patterned floor tile, black fixtures, and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower for a refined finish.

About The Neighborhood
Ann Arbor homeowners often look for renovations that combine modern functionality with designs that feel comfortable and personalized. This bathroom remodel creates a relaxing retreat that enhances everyday routines while complementing the character of the home.
The Challenge
Creating a Calming Retreat
- A dated bathroom layout that lacked a cohesive design direction
- Limited storage options for everyday essentials
- A need for improved functionality and comfort
- Minimal visual interest throughout the space
- A desire for a brighter, more relaxing atmosphere
The original bathroom felt outdated and no longer supported the homeowners’ vision for a luxurious retreat. They wanted a more functional floor plan that provided individual spaces while creating an elegant, relaxing atmosphere.
