Have you ever wondered if your primary bathroom could triple in size? I know I have!
This client came to Brittany’s Design with that exact question. By thoughtfully reconfiguring the bedroom, closet, and existing 40-square-foot bathroom, we transformed the space into a stunning 128-square-foot primary bathroom—and don’t worry, there is still a generous walk-in closet!
The goal was to create a larger, more luxurious bathroom filled with durable, low-maintenance materials that would support long-term aging in place. A zero-threshold shower seamlessly integrates with the wood-look ceramic tile flooring, providing both accessibility and visual continuity. The shower walls are wrapped from floor to ceiling in a seamless Corian surround for effortless maintenance.
A gorgeous Cambria quartz countertop adds organic movement while beautifully uniting the warm hues throughout the room.
Mission accomplished: a once tiny and cramped bathroom is now an open, elegant, and highly functional primary retreat designed to be enjoyed for years to come!
