Can we talk about the faucet? It was another Lowe's find that really helped elevate the design.

Decorist's Design Proposal and Mock Up

The Dreaded Before Pictures

Now, a spotlight on the builder-grade accessories I loathed but did nothing about. Frosted, bell-shaped light fixture and matching toilet paper holder? Check! Large, frameless mirror? I see you. Last of all, the sink vanity with a faux top drawer. Who needs storage in a bathroom, anyway?

Our shower featured a textured sliding glass door and a cream-colored faux marble interior, which didn't exactly help brighten this small, window-less space.

You thought I was lying about the broken towel hook? I wasn't. Don't even ask about the other two holes.

The Results

Incorporating lots of white and clear glass helped make the bathroom feel deceptively large and airy. If you have a small bathroom, take my designer's advice and opt for a clear glass door instead of a shower curtain or textured glass door. It instantly opened up more visual square footage, making our bathroom feel much less claustrophobic. The porcelain floor tiles look like reclaimed wood but can withstand tons of humidity and water — laying them in a herringbone pattern adds instant elegance.

You don't need to rely on pricey specialty stores to access high-design features. Lowe's actually carries a ton of superstylish options, like this cool shower with rolling sliders. Sort of the modern equivalent to sliding barn doors.

In addition to choosing a sink vanity with real drawers, we snuck in more storage by adding slim wall cabinets in two different places. We decided to paint them the same color as the walls and skip hardware so that you hardly notice them.
If you're looking for a streamlined process to renovate that doesn't require hiring an expensive interior designer or searching for a contractor on your own, you should definitely consider going the Decorist/Lowe's route. Access to an interior designer for these Decorist/Lowe's renovations will only set you back a flat fee of $299 — a rate that's otherwise hard to find. Renovations are never without hiccups, but having professional design advice and a project manager will help you troubleshoot storage or layout issues, avoid pricey mistakes, and remain organized.
