For our project on Sunnyside Avenue, we took on the task of transforming an outdated basement bathroom into a sleek and modern space. This renovation involved a complete overhaul, from demolition to the final installation of fixtures and finishes. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the process and the final result of this stunning bathroom remodel.
Before the Renovation
The original bathroom had a dated design with beige tiles, a cramped vanity, and a generally worn-out look. The shower area was functional but lacked style, and the overall layout didn’t make the best use of the available space. The flooring and wall colors made the room feel darker and more confined than it needed to be.
Our goal for this project was to create a more open, modern, and inviting bathroom while ensuring durability and practicality for everyday use.
The Renovation Process
Step 1: Demolition
The first step was to strip down the old bathroom completely. We removed the old vanity, toilet, shower tiles, and flooring. This exposed the plumbing and structure beneath, allowing us to assess any potential issues that needed to be addressed before moving forward.
During the demolition, we discovered that the toilet flange was rusted and corroded, which required immediate attention. We replaced it with a new flange to ensure a secure and leak-free installation.
Step 2: Framing and Plumbing
Next, we framed the new shower enclosure to create a more spacious and functional shower area. We also updated the plumbing to ensure it was up to code and capable of handling the new fixtures.
This stage involved carefully planning the placement of the showerhead, drain, and other plumbing fixtures to ensure optimal functionality and comfort for the homeowner.
Step 3: Waterproofing and Surface Preparation
One of the most critical steps in any bathroom renovation is waterproofing. We applied a high-quality waterproofing membrane to the shower area to prevent moisture damage and mold growth. This step ensures the longevity of the renovation and protects the homeowner’s investment.
The subfloor was also reinforced and leveled to prepare it for the new tile installation.
Step 4: Tiling
We chose classic white subway tiles for the shower walls to create a clean and timeless look. The contrast with the dark grout added depth and character to the space. For the flooring, we selected elegant penny tiles in a neutral tone, which added texture and visual interest to the room.
The tiling process requires precision to ensure that the tiles are perfectly aligned and that the grout lines are consistent. Our team took the time to achieve a flawless finish that not only looks great but is also easy to maintain.
Step 5: Fixture Installation
Once the tiling was complete, we installed the new vanity, toilet, and shower fixtures. The homeowner opted for a sleek, dark vanity with a modern sink and faucet, which complemented the overall design perfectly.
The lighting was also updated with a new fixture that provides ample illumination while adding a touch of elegance to the room.
The Final Result
The finished bathroom is a dramatic transformation from the original space. The combination of the subway tiles, penny tile flooring, and dark vanity creates a modern and sophisticated look. The shower is now more spacious and inviting, and the entire room feels brighter and more open.
Here are some key highlights of the new bathroom:
- Modern Shower Enclosure: The new shower features classic white subway tiles with a dark grout for a stylish, timeless look.
- Upgraded Vanity: The sleek, dark vanity with a modern sink and faucet adds a bold statement to the room.
- New Flooring: The penny tiles add a unique texture and enhance the overall aesthetic.
- Enhanced Lighting: The new light fixture brightens up the space and adds a touch of luxury.
