For these homeowners, a built-in jetted tub, glass block shower divider and funky layout weren’t giving them the style and function they wanted in their primary bathroom. Seeking a modern organic style with European flair, they hired designer Joey Snow to bring the entire California ranch home in line with their vision. Snow uses Houzz Pro software to manage her design business.
For the bathroom, Snow replaced the built-in tub with a smaller, sleeker freestanding model that adds breathing room. She ditched the glass block wall that divided the shower from the toilet area and added a wall that better separates the two spaces. The new private shower room has an arched doorway with glass door, walls with handmade Moroccan zellige tiles and a marble bench. A custom white oak double vanity improves storage, and its reeded front adds texture. Genuine limestone batons in a herringbone pattern for the flooring, along with plaster walls, provide more texture and interest.

There was a lot these homeowners liked about their 2002 Spanish-style kitchen: the overall layout, rich stone tile flooring, decorative wood ceiling beams and its pro-style appliances. But overly ornate details on the cabinets, backsplash tile and green granite countertops didn’t fit their desired style. The couple lived in the home for a few years before the husband decided to gift his wife a kitchen remodel for her birthday.
They hired designer Sarah West to help them create a timeless look and feel with cleaner lines and an organic modern style. West responded by pairing custom rift-cut white oak cabinets and several greige upper cabinets with creamy white walls for a warm atmosphere that complements the earthy tones in the stone flooring and new zellige backsplash tile. A furniture-style island has seating on three sides for face-to-face conversation. A large plaster range hood offers clean lines, softened by an elegantly arched window.

Tired of their boring and basic primary bathroom, this Austin, Texas, couple knew just where to turn for help. Designer Cameron Getter had already helped them choose furniture for their main living areas and update their guest bathroom, so they tapped her to update their kitchen and main bathroom as well.
The homeowners, who are parents of a toddler daughter, were looking for a soothing retreat with more warmth and an organic, spa-like feel. Getter removed the existing components, eliminated the tub (they have one elsewhere in the home) and relocated and enlarged the shower area. She also straightened out some angled walls. With the main design moves done, she introduced a warmer color palette with glazed aloe green ceramic tiles, a custom white oak vanity and brass details. Terrazzo-look porcelain tiles for the flooring and part of the low-curb shower add visual energy and interest.

These homeowners, parents of three daughters, made a move toward their retirement years when they bought this forever home outside Atlanta. Design-wise, they were starting some scratch, so friends recommended Meriwether Design Group. After checking out the designers’ work on Houzz, the couple called the firm to help them make their new build their own. Designer Meriwether McAdams had a hand in every inch of the design, including the cabinetry, finishes, lighting, furniture and architectural details such as ceiling beams, paneling and a new fireplace surround.
“They were getting close to having an empty nest, and this house is within walking distance of Marietta Square,” McAdams says. The square is a popular draw in Marietta, as it’s full of cute shops and restaurants. The couple knew they wanted neutrals, particularly contrasting black and white. The designer worked closely with them to add comforting organic and soft touches that keep the black-and-white contrast from feeling too stark.

These Littleton, Colorado, homeowners knew exactly what they wanted to get out of their bathroom renovation, right down to the cabinet hardware. In fact, they presented interior designer Bonnie Bagley Catlin with the most thorough Google Doc design she’d ever seen in her professional career. “They knew the finishes they liked, that they wanted organic modern style, and they even had determined the subcontractors that they wanted to use,” she says. “What they really needed help with is my specialty. Often clients come to me knowing that their bathroom is broken. They know that it doesn’t function or flow correctly, but they don’t know what’s wrong. I know how to give them a layout that will work for them. After we get that right, we can make it beautiful.”
In this case, a primary sitting room led through a hallway to the primary bathroom. Two separate vanities and a tub with a very large deck made the flow awkward and wasn’t making the most efficient use of the space. The homeowners also wanted to borrow space from the bathroom to enlarge their closet. Bagley Catlin took all these factors into account when reconfiguring things. The result is a light-filled bathroom full of bells and whistles, such as dual jet sets in the shower, special storage inserts in the cabinetry and a stunning new coffee bar that helps the couple wake up and caffeinate on the way to their morning showers.

Bathroom at a Glance
Who lives here: A young family of three
Location: Long Beach, California
Size: 97 square feet (9 square meters)
Designer: Heather Knight-Willcock
Contractor: Bryan Luu of BLuu Construction
A large part of the project involved relocating the primary suite. Knight-Willcock found space for the primary bathroom by taking over a small existing hall bath, part of a hallway and space from two small closets. (See before-and-after floor plans below.) This allowed room for a double vanity, a generous shower stall and additional storage.
“Heather named this project ‘MCMR,’ which stands for Midcentury Modern Revival,” Luu says. Style-wise, this meant the design honors the home’s midcentury modern vintage while giving it modern conveniences and a warm organic feel.
This view from the bedroom shows a new paneled pocket door partially open on the left. “There is a small hallway to the left of this door. Using a pocket door optimized the space,” Luu says.
