Riner Master Bathroom Transformation: From Outdated Fixtures to Elegant Retreat
Project: Full Master Bathroom Renovation, Riner, Virginia
Project Goals:
Replace the old garden-style bathtub with a modern, freestanding centerpiece.
Maximize daylight and views by positioning the new tub in front of a large picture window.
Introduce a vibrant blue and teal tile scheme in partnership with DeHart Tile in Christiansburg.
Brighten the shower space with a see-through opening at the top to invite natural light.
Add finishing touches—a blue vanity and a lighted mirror—to complete the design.
Project Overview
This bathroom began as a dated, uninspiring space featuring an old-style garden tub that felt bulky and didn’t optimize the available light or view. The homeowners in Riner desired a fresh, luminous design that would not only be functional, but also beautifully integrated with the architecture and surrounding landscape.
Working with DeHart Tile in Christiansburg, we helped select a blue and teal tile palette that balances elegance with tranquility, delivering a spa-like atmosphere with a distinctive pop of color. A dramatic freestanding tub was then fitted as the room’s focal point, placed directly in front of a large picture window to flood the room with natural light and provide a serene bathing experience.
To further enhance the sense of openness in the shower, we incorporated a see-through opening at the top of the stall—an architectural detail that invites daylight deep into the space while maintaining privacy. Finally, a bold blue vanity and sleek lighted mirror tie all the design elements together, creating a harmonious, polished finish.
