Primary bathroom and closets
Two larger custom closets
and adjustable lighted mirrors
The homeowners wanted more from their primary suite: better storage, a more useful layout, and a bathroom that could adapt with them.
This Paradise Valley bathroom remodel began with the relationship between the bathroom and its closets. Improving the finishes alone would not resolve the homeowners’ priorities. The plan needed to create more closet space, separate the shower and water closet, and make movement through the suite easier.
Homework Remodels reorganized those spaces together. The new layout gives the shower, toilet, vanity, and two closets clearer roles. Custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, polished nickel fixtures, and illuminated mirrors complete the room, but the most consequential changes begin with its floor plan.
The layout · Before and after
Privacy and circulation come first
The original arrangement placed the bathroom’s storage and bathing functions within a less effective plan. Repositioning the shower and water closet allowed the team to establish separate areas and improve the paths between them.
Wider doorways support easier movement through the suite. The design also considers future use with a walker or wheelchair, while keeping the room’s everyday appearance cohesive. These decisions were part of the planning process alongside the closet expansion and vanity design.
Designed with future needs in mind: Wide doorways, a curbless shower, and wall blocking for future grab bars were incorporated into the construction plan.
The shower, reconsidered
A curbless entry and a quieter material palette
The relocated shower uses a curbless entrance, a centered drain, and a waterproof membrane beneath the tile assembly. A fixed-panel window brings natural light and an outdoor view into the space while maintaining privacy.
Bedrosians Donna White tile appears in both flat and wave-patterned finishes. The textured surface gives the enclosure a gentle horizontal rhythm; flat tile provides a quieter field beneath the plumbing fixtures. Polished nickel Schluter Jolly trim outlines the window, niches, and exposed tile edges.
The DXV Belshire polished nickel plumbing system continues the finish used elsewhere in the room. Recessed niches keep shower essentials within the tile design, with coordinating trim making the transitions between surfaces deliberate and consistent.
Vanity design · Before and after
Storage, task lighting, and a place to get ready
Custom cabinetry gives the vanity area a more organized foundation. Drawers and compartments create room for daily essentials, while a dedicated seated area provides another way to use the counter. A charging station for personal devices helps reduce clutter.
Quartz countertops carry soft beige undertones through the neutral palette. Mitered edges and waterfall detailing give the surfaces a substantial profile, while a consistent backsplash height connects the individual vanity elements.
Light and craftsmanship
Details that support the daily routine
The illuminated mirrors offer adjustable color temperature, allowing the homeowners to choose warmer or more daylight-like light. Recessed ceiling fixtures provide general illumination, complementing the light at the mirrors.
The neutral scheme combines beige, canvas tan, pale cabinetry, and quartz. Polished nickel brings a consistent finish to the faucets and hardware. Countertop fabrication used laser leveling to coordinate the surfaces and waterfall detail, bringing precision to the points where materials meet.
Two closets, planned around storage
More room for the things the homeowners use
The remodeled suite includes two larger closets with custom shelving, double hanging space, and drawers. Rather than relying on a single type of storage, each closet combines open shelves, hanging sections, and enclosed compartments.
Mechanical changes helped make the expansion work. In one closet, HVAC ductwork was reconfigured and the ceiling raised from seven to eight feet. Coordinating those changes with the cabinetry plan improved the available space and the feel of the finished room.
Behind the finished room
The new layout takes shape during construction
Demolition exposed the plumbing and cleared the way for the reconfigured rooms. New framing established the boundaries of the shower, private water closet, and two closets. Plumbing and HVAC work were coordinated with that arrangement before the finishes were installed.
At the shower, the pan and waterproof membrane were installed around the center drain to create the curbless assembly. Blocking was added within the walls for future grab bars. These preparations support the visible design and the longer-term use planned for the suite.
The completed primary suite
A more useful room, with a considered finish
The finished bathroom brings together a private water closet, a curbless shower, an organized vanity area, and two custom closets. Wider openings and a reworked plan make the suite easier to move through, while layered lighting and a consistent material palette connect its individual spaces.
This project shows how a primary bathroom remodel can address storage, privacy, and future needs within the same design. The changes work together because the room was planned as a whole.
