As with many of our Wichita clients seeking a bathroom remodel, these homeowners wanted a larger shower and more vanity space. The primary goal of the project was to incorporate a dry vanity with a seating area while maximizing the available space. However, space was limited, requiring a strategic approach to achieve their vision.

The existing whirlpool tub was rarely used, so the first step in the remodel was its removal, along with all associated tile. This allowed us to install a built-in dry vanity with additional storage, fulfilling our client's top request.




To enhance the cabinetry, we opted for a stained maple espresso finish. Since our client was not satisfied with the color of their existing vanities, we painted them and updated the hardware to refresh their appearance and tie them in with the new cabinetry.

Shower Expansion

Another key request was to enlarge the shower. We were able to achieve this within the existing footprint by constructing a larger shower enclosure.

To improve functionality and maintain a clean aesthetic, we incorporated two built-in shampoo and soap niches, keeping shower essentials neatly tucked away.

Custom Features

Shower

  • Installed a custom Onyx shower base for durability and style.

  • Selected sleek rectified tile with fine vertical lines for a modern touch.

  • Upgraded to brushed nickel fixtures and coordinating tile trim.

  • Utilized the Schluter waterproofing system to ensure a long-lasting, leak-proof shower.

  • Installed heavy-duty frameless shower glass for a clean, contemporary look.




Water Closet

Storage is often a concern in Wichita bathrooms, so we custom-built a cabinet above the toilet to provide additional storage space.

To enhance the design, we installed 24” x 24” tiles on the walls, adding a sophisticated touch.



Additional Upgrades

  • Painted the existing cabinetry and retained the vanity tops and faucets to manage costs while achieving a high-end finish.

  • Installed a new Quartz countertop for the dry vanity, featuring a sleek concrete-like aesthetic.

  • Chose luxury vinyl tile flooring, which mimics ceramic tile but offers a warmer feel underfoot.

  • Updated trim work in both the bathroom and master bedroom, opting for a clean, contemporary 1x4 baseboard.

  • Added a stylish floor-length mirror adjacent to the dry vanity to complete the space.
