This North Raleigh bathroom began with water damage in the shower and former tub area, which required careful rebuilding. Once the compromised sections were opened and repaired, the homeowner decided to use the opportunity to rethink the design of the entire space. Removing the old wallpaper and the bulky built-in tub immediately made the room feel larger and brighter, and extending the shower forward created a more open, modern layout.

The new freestanding soaking tub became the centerpiece of the room, paired with a custom wall niche finished in the same tile as the shower. Soft creamy-beige walls, decorative trim, gold fixtures, and updated furniture-style vanities brought warmth, elegance, and balance to the space. The final result is a calm, spa-like retreat that looks and functions better than ever.
