This full-bathroom basement in West Seattle demonstrates a clever mix of high-end design and technical problem-solving. To accommodate the home's existing plumbing height, Better Builders installed a wall-mounted toilet with a concealed tank, which allowed for the proper drainage slope while creating a sleek, minimalist look. The space features vibrant sage green walls that contrast beautifully with the crisp white trim and a privacy-glass window that lets in soft, natural light. A custom wood upper cabinet provides essential storage, making this hardworking bathroom both stylish and highly functional for a large family.

This detail shot captures the modern, high-contrast hardware that defines the Better Builders West Seattle basement bathroom. The sleek matte black "C-style" back-to-back handle provides a bold, tactile element against the frameless glass shower door. In the background, the crisp white subway tile and integrated shampoo niche demonstrate the project's commitment to clean lines and functional luxury. This combination of industrial-inspired hardware and timeless tile work is a staple of the modern farmhouse aesthetic used throughout this family-friendly renovation

This homeowner loved her small, cozy house in St. Louis park, but after nearly 20 years, was ready to make the move and undergo a large remodeling project to finally gain the additional living spaces she craved daily. She desperately needed more and better storage, and dreamed of having additional space to support leisure activities such as crafting, a laundry space that didn’t depress her, a guest space, an additional space to flop down at the end of the day and watch TV, and a better, secondary bathroom for daily showering. After living in the house for so many years, a significant basement remodel would actually cost almost as much as the home itself originally was. But after years of planning, preparation and dreaming, it was finally time to take action and make her home better suit her life.
