Primary Bathroom Remodel | Orlando, FL

This Orlando primary bathroom had two problems that fed into each other. There was a drop-in tub taking up a significant portion of the room that the homeowners never used, and next to it was a small enclosed shower you had to step down into, dark and cramped in a way that made it feel like an afterthought rather than a feature. The client's ask was straightforward: get rid of both and give us one large, open, functional shower that actually feels like it belongs in a primary suite.

That is exactly what this became. The tub footprint and the original shower were combined into a single oversized walk-in shower that runs the full width of that end of the room. The enclosure is frameless glass with matte black hardware, ceiling height on three sides, which opens the space up visually and lets the tile do the work. Large format marble-look porcelain tile covers every wall surface in a soft gray and white palette with warm veining that keeps the space feeling light without feeling stark.

The shower floor is white hexagon mosaic tile, a classic pairing with the large format wall tile that adds texture at the floor plane without introducing another competing pattern. A built-in bench runs along one wall, tiled to match, and a recessed niche with two shelves is set into the opposite wall with a matte black trim detail that ties to the rest of the fixture package. The drain cover is matte black as well, keeping the floor clean and consistent.

The fixture package is where this shower steps up. A matte black LED color-changing rain head mounts from the wall on a ceiling-height arm, and six matte black body jets are set into the tile in two columns of three on the front shower wall, giving the space a full surround water experience that the original bathroom never came close to offering. A matte black hand shower on a slide bar completes the package. Every control valve is a matte black square trim plate that sits flush and clean against the tile.

Outside the shower, the double vanity was updated with a white shaker cabinet, white quartz countertop, matte black fixtures, and a pair of oval black-framed mirrors with wall sconces above each one. The floor throughout the bathroom is a wood-look plank tile in a warm light tone that grounds the gray shower tile without fighting it. The result is a bathroom that finally functions the way a primary suite should, built around how these homeowners actually live rather than around a tub that was collecting dust.
