Design That Elevates Everyday Living
The design choices that matter most are often found in the spaces you use every day. This green tile bathroom design shows how color—when used thoughtfully—can feel calm, timeless, and easy to live with. As part of a larger remodel that also included the kitchen and primary bedroom, the homeowners’ main bathroom was reimagined as a spa-like space designed for daily comfort.
Reworking the Bathroom Footprint
Removing the chimney allowed us to redesign the bathroom layout, creating space for more storage and a generous, spa-like shower.
A Balanced Approach to Bathroom Design
The design of this bathroom is rooted in balance. Each element was selected to work together:
- Deep green glazed tile wrapping the room and shower walls, creating a rich, cohesive backdrop with subtle variation and depth
- Warm wood vanity that grounds the space and balances the cooler tones of tile and stone
- Curbless shower design creates a clean, uninterrupted feel while removing the step-in threshold for safer, easier entry.
What Lies Beneath: In-Floor Heat
In-floor heat is one of those upgrades you don’t notice—until you can’t imagine the bathroom without it.
Installed beneath the tile, radiant heat gently warms the floor from the ground up, creating even, consistent comfort throughout the space.
Plus, it helps tile floors dry faster and reduces cold-floor shock—key for chilly Minnesota mornings!
A Modern Influence with Flexibility
To bring in a modern influence, the homeowners chose a vanity reminiscent of mid-century furniture. We paired it with a custom linen cabinet designed to complement the vanity today, while remaining simple enough to work with a variety of styles in the future.

Reclaiming the Attic
In a modest-sized home, space matters—and every square foot needs to earn its keep. This attic had potential, but it wasn’t living up to it.
