Bathroom remodel advice

Bathroom remodel

looking for some advice on a bathroom remodel. Linked pic is the inspo pic.

I am not trying to go cheap but don’t want to go crazy either. Budget is around 30k.

-materials: I think it’s marble and zellige (sp?) tile here. What are the pros and cons to these materials? I know they are both expensive, what less expensive options would you rec that have this same vibe?

-fixtures: Does anyone have experience with restoration hardware? Good? I have an outlet nearby

What’s your stance on delta fixtures? Again, I won’t want to go cheap but don’t want to go wild either. For reference I have Emtek door knobs and consider them worth the cost and consider them to be a nice quality handle.

    Your budget and your inspiration picture do not aline in my locale at all. Hopefully your COLA is lower than mine. Porcelain tiles function better in a shower than marble.

    Yes i was thinking woukd need to double that budget in my area… have you priced it out all? i am in a vhcol area though so maybe its feasible elsewhere!

    I have a connection that makes the labor price lower than normal for this type of work.

    Adding some details here… for the inspiration pic I mean more that’s the vibe and color scheme that I want. I’m looking for a range (the inspo pic being at the high end) of options. So if marble and zellige are at high end, whats a lesser comparable tile?

    Re fixtures I have delta trinsic faucet in my kitchen and I like it. Would you recommend that same line for bathroom? Or what higher range would you recommend?

    I have a restoration hardware outlet near me as well

    Hello! This looks like a fun project coming up for you! Here is a little bit of feedback/advice from us;

    - Porcelain tile is a lower price point than marble, is more durable, will function better in a shower/bathroom, and has many stunning options to choose from. You can do large format tiles, a decorative mosaic, or a patterned look. There are several porcelain tiles that have been made to look like a natural stone or marble if you like the look of marble. We would also not recommend a glossy finish on the shower pan/shower flooring.

    - Delta tends to be a lower price point when we are talking about plumbing fixtures. We have used in multiple homes and they have advanced quite a bit in the last few years. They are good looking and come in a number of colors and price points - so you should find something suitable for you.

    - When you are talking about fixtures, what exactly are you referring to? Lighting? We use RH often for clients. We have no complaints with them thus far.

    - We also use Emtek for hardware/knobs/pulls. They have a nice look and come at a reasonable cost.


    If you have a Tile/Flooring Showroom nearby have you thought about dropping in and looking around in person? You can typically get an idea of price range and what kinds of designs and options are available to you in the price range you are looking at.


    As far as demolition and labor work, we only manage the design side of things, so we cannot give you a good estimate or idea on what the cost for those things should be. Good luck on your project and we hope you have found this information helpful!
