Project Overview
A Fresh Look Within the Same Footprint
This primary bathroom had a functional layout but was firmly stuck in the 1990s. A bulky tub deck, forest green diamond tile, brassy gold fixtures, dark oak cabinetry, and dark finishes made the space feel heavy and dated.
Rather than changing the footprint, the Layton-area remodel focused on transforming everything within it. A carefully angled freestanding tub created room for a larger shower, while bright finishes, warm wood details, and modern farmhouse elements turned the once-dark bathroom into a fresh and inviting retreat.

About The Neighborhood
Located in Layton, Utah, this home combines convenient city living with easy access to nearby outdoor recreation. The primary bathroom remodel created a brighter, more comfortable retreat for everyday living.
The Challenge
Stuck in the Nineties
- Bulky tub deck dominated the room
- Forest green diamond tile felt dated
- Brassy gold fixtures dated the bathroom
- Dark oak cabinets made the space feel heavy
- Dark finishes overshadowed the vaulted ceiling
While the layout itself worked well, nearly every finish and fixture needed updating to create the bright, welcoming bathroom the homeowners envisioned.

A Bright Farmhouse Retreat
The existing footprint was preserved, but the room was completely refreshed from floor to ceiling. Angling the new freestanding tub maximized the available floor space and allowed for a larger frameless glass shower with a white onyx hexagon floor for improved traction and fewer grout lines. White painted cabinetry, granite countertops, warm wood floating shelves, and black-framed mirrors brought together modern farmhouse character. A shiplap accent wall, updated lighting, and tile extending to the ceiling completed the transformation into a bright and comfortable retreat.
Key Improvements included:
- Removed bulky tub deck and green tile
- Added angled freestanding soaker tub
- Expanded the shower area
- Installed frameless glass shower enclosure
- Added white onyx hexagon shower flooring
- Replaced dark oak cabinetry with white
- Added shiplap accent wall and floating shelves
