01 / Before and after

A tiny bathroom renovation with a lighter finish

This tiny bathroom renovation in Carnation, WA, updated an older bathroom with a tiled walk-in shower, new cabinetry and heated flooring. Bezruchuk Inc. rebuilt the finishes around the room’s compact proportions, using coordinated tile and practical storage to make the small space feel more open.

The original photographs show wood cabinets, patterned walls, a pale floor and an older shower enclosure. The finished room replaces those surfaces with white cabinetry, light stone-look tile and clear shower glass. A blue-and-gray decorative band gives the walls a consistent line around the bathroom.

02 / Floor preparation and comfort

Rebuilding the floor and adding heat

Work began by removing the existing flooring, vanity and wall cabinet. Clearing those finishes made room for the new floor preparation, cabinetry and tiled surfaces.

The project record describes concrete floor/base work extending into the shower area to create a curbless entrance. The completed photographs show the tiled bathroom floor continuing to the shower opening without a raised curb.

Heated flooring and new electrical wiring were also part of the renovation. The floor heating adds a comfort feature beneath the finished surface, while the electrical work supported the bathroom updates. The record does not identify a heating brand or control model.

03 / The shower

A small bathroom with a walk-in shower

Clear glass keeps the shower tile visible from the bathroom, so the enclosure reads as part of the room. The finished shower includes a long, narrow drain beside the wall, a recessed niche and a light triangular bench fitted into the corner.

The niche has two compartments and repeats the decorative tile used around the walls. It provides a place for shower products within the wall surface. The corner bench adds a seat while leaving the central shower area open.

A polished shower control, overhead showerhead and handheld shower complete the bathing area. The original record describes chrome plumbing fixtures; the photographs show the shower fittings alongside the glass and light tile.

04 / Tile and finish work

One accent band connects the room

The original material description specifies 12 × 24-inch wall tile, glass decorative strips and marble pencil liners. In the finished room, the large light tiles form a quiet background for the narrower blue-and-gray glass pieces.

The decorative band runs behind the vanity and toilet and continues into the shower. The niche uses the same colors, with light trim defining its edges. Repeating those details connects the different parts of the bathroom without adding several competing tile patterns.

New trim, seam retaping and paint completed the surrounding walls and ceiling. These finishing steps brought the untiled surfaces into the same refreshed room as the new cabinetry and shower.

05 / Storage and materials

A white vanity with stacked drawers replaces the original wood cabinet. Above it, a mirrored cabinet and a separate wall cabinet add storage without placing another cabinet on the floor. Their white finish keeps the storage wall visually consistent.

The rectangular sink and single-handle, silver-tone faucet have a simple profile beside the glass tile band. The toilet remains recognizable as part of the same compact fixture arrangement shown in the before photographs.
