Before the remodel, the shower was small and lackluster, with frosted glass walls and a basic showerhead.

By tucking the curved freestanding tub into a corner by the window, designer Joan Suzio was able to capture space for the walk-in shower. A niche recessed in the wall is a tidy spot to place shampoos and soaps to keep them off the floor or bench. Although a curbless shower with zero threshold was desired, the curb helps keep water off the bathroom floor.

The before bathtub took up a lot of visual space, while the outdated valance on the window blocked natural light, making the room appear even smaller.

A blue-green paint color—similar to the ocean—was used on the walls for this water-pampering space. The contemporary tub provides more room for a larger shower, and the Roman shades are adjustable to let more or less light in. A flat-screen TV mounted to the wall for long soaks is the perfect touch for this relaxing space.

A boring white vanity with a large frameless mirror offers very little character to the room.
