The goal was to open up this bathroom, update it, bring it to life! 123 Remodeling went for modern, but zen; rough, yet warm. We mixed ideas of modern finishes like the concrete floor with the warm wood tone and textures on the wall that emulates bamboo to balance each other. The matte black finishes were appropriate final touches to capture the urban location of this master bathroom located in Chicago’s West Loop. https://123remodeling.com - Chicago Kitchen & Bath Remodeler

Modern and sleek bathroom with black, white and blue accents. White flat panel vanity with geometric, flat black hardware. Natural, leathered black granite countertops with mitered edge. Flat black Aqua Brass faucet and fixtures. Unique and functional shelf for storage with above toilet cabinet for optimal storage. Black penny rounds and a bold, encaustic Popham tile floor complete this bold design.

The conversion of a tub to shower has become increasingly popular as many people prefer the convenience and accessibility of a shower over a bathtub. It is a common remodeling project in guest bathrooms, especially for those with limited mobility or those who simply prefer showers.
