Before & After: How an interior designer created her own bathroom sanctuary

Layout & Flow

Before: Standard bathtub/shower combo, basic vanity, little thought to flow.

After: Walk-in glass shower or freestanding tub, wall-hung vanities to open floor space, more symmetry and balance in layout.

  1. Materials & Finishes

Before: Basic ceramic tiles, laminate counters, chrome fixtures.

After: Marble, terrazzo, or large-format porcelain tiles; quartz or stone counters; matte black or brushed brass fixtures for a luxe finish.

  1. Lighting

Before: Single overhead light, harsh or shadowy.

After: Layered lighting — recessed ceiling spots, wall sconces near the mirror, hidden LED strips (under vanity or behind mirrors) for a warm glow.

  1. Color Palette

Before: Beige, white, or plain neutrals.

After: Bold contrasts (black & white), warm neutrals (taupe, sand), or moody tones (deep green/navy) paired with metallic accents.

  1. Storage & Fixtures

Before: Bulky cabinets, cluttered countertops.

After: Floating vanities, niche shelving in showers, hidden storage to keep surfaces clean.

  1. Luxury Touches

Heated floors or towel racks

Frameless mirrors with backlighting

Rainfall showerheads or dual-shower setups

Spa-style accessories (candles, plants, plush towels)
