How We Help You Determine What You Need
On most days, the bathroom is where we start and end our day—from brushing our teeth and washing our faces to a rejuvenating shower or a relaxing, end-of-day soak in the tub. The little rituals we perform in this space play an important role in our self-care routine and they can have a major impact on our mindset.
How do you feel when you’re in your bathroom?
Are you relaxed?
Are you able to get ready with ease?
Or do you find yourself annoyed, discontent, or even avoiding the space as much as possible?
Our wish for you—and for all of our clients—is an elegant, timeless bathroom that beautifully serves all of your needs. For some clients, this looks like a spa-inspired oasis that completes the retreat-like feel of their primary suite. For others it’s a space where little ones can learn to use the bathroom independently and is equally suited for guests to use.
No matter what your goals are, we are here to make your bathroom project a stunning success.

A Successful Bathroom Renovation
Why Starting With a Wishlist is Everything
Two of the most popular reasons our clients reach out to us are because something in their space is not working for them and because they want to update the look and feel of their space. In order to keep their project on track and accomplish those goals, we always start by establishing a wish list for their project.
Wish list items are specific and they are often related to why you wanted to renovate your bathroom in the first place. They are the must-haves that will guide us like a North Star and take priority in terms of everything from budget to square footage.
A common example from our bathroom projects is when our client has a tub and would like a walk-in shower or vice versa. Other wish list items are less straightforward, like how to create more space while working within an existing footprint or how to make a bathroom without windows feel light and bright.


Don’t let the dreamy name fool you, your wish list is mightier than it sounds. The images associated with your wish list items lead our inspiration and the items themselves will keep us laser-focused. As anyone who has entered a design or plumbing showroom can tell you, it is all too easy to get distracted by shiny things and high-tech bathroom gadgets.
Your wish list will ensure that every decision we make aligns with the issues we’re trying to solve for, making your project a success.
Worried about how you’ll come up with your wish list? Leave that to us. Our consultations are designed to give us all of the insight we need to determine exactly what you need—not to mention plenty of ideas on how to surprise and delight you.
As you walk us through your daily routines, we’ll be actively listening to hear what you do and don’t say. These conversations generally start out pretty high level, but we do everything within our power to make our clients feel comfortable quickly. By the time we’re done, it will seem as though the wish list was clear as day all along.

Our Bathroom Design Process
Why Working With an Interior Designer Makes All the Difference
Once we’ve established your wish list, the project really starts to pick up speed. We’ll take site measurements and create scaled floor plans and elevations.
Next we make selections. While a comprehensive outline of our Bathroom Design Services can be found on our website, an important thing to note is the sheer volume of choices that need to be made when renovating a bathroom.
Working with an interior designer not only helps you come up with a great design plan that is suited to your needs and lifestyle, we also help you make informed decisions about every single aspect of your design.
Decision fatigue is real. There may come a point in your project journey where you say, can’t you just decide for me? And, based on all of the work we’ve done to really get to know you and establish your wants and needs, we can help you make an informed decision that you feel great about.
We also purchase all items on your behalf and coordinate, schedule and manage all of your deliveries. We inspect everything to make sure that it has arrived undamaged and as-specified. When it comes time to install, we also coordinate, schedule and manage all of the trades—from the general contractor to the painter.
Five Things We Anticipate With Every Project
Given our level of knowledge and experience, there are certain aspects of your bathroom renovation project that we can anticipate. Taking this kind of informed approach will not only save you time, money, and frustration—it will deliver a design that you will love to live with.
1. Storage Needs
Bathrooms are one of the great workhorses of the home. From using the facilities to showering, shaving, and a bevy of other personal maintenance tasks, we ask a lot of these spaces.
Each ritual we perform requires its own set of products, accessories, and space requirements. Even the simplest routines can cause clutter to accumulate. So how can we ever plan to have enough storage?
Custom cabinetry is one of our specialties—our cabinet maker is on speed dial—and our years of experience has taught us how to identify exactly how much space you need and the kind of storage you require. From the moment we first meet with you, we’re mentally making note of creative ways to clear the clutter and give you back a sense of serenity and sanity.

2. Plumbing Possibilities
Assessing your existing plumbing—from the condition of the pipes to the layout—is a key step in our process. Our clients appreciate our proactive and upfront approach, which allows us to have open and honest communication about what can or can’t be moved and what it will cost.
Once we know where things are going, we can get to the fun stuff. From stand alone tubs to steam showers, we will help you select the best options for your lifestyle.
We meet regularly with our trusted tile and plumbing reps to ensure that we are up on all of the latest offerings—not because we are concerned with trends, but because we want to offer you the best products available that will deliver the timeless style you love.


3. Electrical
Having a home that suits your lifestyle is about more than performance fabrics and smudge-proof surfaces. Advancements in technology mean that our home’s electrical plan needs to be adapted as well.
Older bathrooms were designed with fewer outlets, which were served by a single low-amp circuit. Today’s homeowner needs much more than that. Vent fans, heat lamps, dedicated plugs for Japanese toilets, not to mention blow dryers, curling irons, straighteners, electric toothbrushes and razors. The chords for many of these products are not just unsightly, they’re a safety hazard.
When we map out the electrical plan for your space, we do so with your daily routine in mind. Whether it’s a hidden outlet in the medicine cabinet or a custom vanity drawer designed to dock your styling tools, we create homes for all of your essentials.
When the day is done, you can put everything away and restore the sense of serenity you felt the first time you saw the space.


4. Lighting
If there’s anything that the advent of the ring light has taught us, it’s that flattering lighting can make all the difference. No matter how soft the wattage, overhead lighting is harsh, and that is what many of us are currently working with in our bathrooms.
If you want to feel like Mariah Carey—someone who always knows how to find her light—we can make that happen. From stylish sconces to backlit mirrors that provide a glow similar to natural light, we know all the best ways to light your bathroom.
Having adjustable lighting in the bathroom also increases the functionality of the space. Brighter lighting can be helpful for make-up application and shaving, whereas dimming the lights can create a soothing experience for baths and bedtime.
Smart switches are attractive and can be controlled from your phone or even a remote on your bedside table, so there’s no need to get out of bed if you forgot to shut the light in your ensuite bath after brushing your teeth.

5. Cleaning
While cleaning isn’t the most glamorous subject, it is essential keeping your bathroom feeling fresh. The sheer amount of materials available these days is mind-blowing. As designers, it’s our job to select materials that are both forgiving and fit your taste level and lifestyle.
We love learning about the various options available to consumers today and will gleefully put together options for your very own mood board. You will see us geek out over grout selections (you would not believe how many there are!) and lovingly analyze which tile will require the least amount of maintenance without compromising on your elevated aesthetic.
Additionally, at the end of your project we will also provide you with a cleaning and maintenance guide that we promise you will refer back to again and again.
You’re a busy professional, you work hard to make a living; you deserve to come home to a spa-like bathroom where you can rinse off the day’s frustrations and focus on joy, serenity, and relaxation.

Our timeless, cohesive designs are worth the investment.
In fact, one of the most common pieces of feedback that we receive from clients is that they couldn’t have done it without us. It is compliments like this that make our hearts sing.
If you start your day frustrated because your toothbrush has yet again fallen on the floor next to the toilet, it might be time to redesign.
