From Awkward Walk-Through to Stunning Retreat: A Bathroom Transformation

This bathroom was more of a hallway than a private retreat—awkward angles, too many doors, and a lack of storage made it a space that just didn’t work. By reconfiguring the layout, removing unnecessary doors, and adding smart storage solutions, we turned this chaotic pass-through into a stunning, functional bathroom. A bold blue herringbone tile, warm maple wood vanity, and playful terrazzo flooring brought in style and personality. Now, the space feels fresh, modern, and—most importantly—works beautifully for the family. See how we transformed this bathroom from a design dilemma to a dream space!
