Happy New Year and welcome to 2025! As we step into a fresh start, many homeowners are seizing the opportunity to breathe new life into their living spaces. A bathroom renovation is a fantastic way to upgrade both form and function, and that’s exactly what we achieved for this client’s basement bathroom.

Starting Point: A Dated Basement Bathroom

Before our transformation, the bathroom felt cramped, outdated, and ready for a refresh. The homeowner wanted a space that was not only modern and bright but also easy to maintain. To accomplish these goals, we teamed up with the client to gut the entire room—right down to the studs and subfloor—paving the way for a brand-new look.

Design Decisions and Material Selection

The homeowner worked closely with our in-house interior designer at our showroom to review various materials and finishes. After careful consideration, they fell in love with TSF 114 – Calacatta Lia quartz from our TSF 24 Pack. This stunning quartz was chosen for both the shower surround and the vanity top, and for good reason:

• Seamless Appearance: Quartz sheets eliminate the need for grout lines, making the shower surround feel sleek and continuous.
• Low-Maintenance: Fewer grout lines mean less scrubbing, perfect for busy families or anyone looking for easy upkeep.
• Sophisticated Style: Calacatta Lia quartz features subtle veining and a luxurious look that instantly elevates the bathroom’s design.

The Renovation Process

With the materials selected, we set to work on a full teardown and rebuild. Removing everything down to the basics allowed us to:

• Install New Plumbing and Electrical: Ensuring that all systems are not only functional but also up to current code.
• Upgrade Fixtures: The client chose brushed nickel plumbing fixtures for a contemporary yet timeless finish.
• Lay Larger Format Floor Tiles: These tiles coordinate perfectly with the quartz and make the space feel more open and inviting.

Finishing Touches

The final step was bringing the bathroom together with thoughtful details:

• Floating LED Mirror: Adds a modern edge and brightens the vanity area.
• Recessed Lighting: Provides ample overhead illumination while keeping the ceiling sleek.
• Soft Grey Walls and White Vanity: Creates a crisp, clean backdrop that complements the quartz and brushed nickel fixtures.

The End Result

What was once a tired and dated basement bathroom is now a sleek, practical, and stylish retreat. The seamless quartz shower surround, modern fixtures, and updated lighting all work together to deliver a space that’s both beautiful and easy to maintain.

If you’re considering a renovation of your own this year, take inspiration from this transformation. By carefully selecting materials that balance aesthetics and practicality—and working with a skilled team—you can create a bathroom that not only improves your home’s value but also serves your family’s needs for years to come.
