Riner Master Bathroom Transformation: From Outdated Fixtures to Elegant Retreat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.

Scope of Work

Our team followed a phased approach to transform this bathroom into a light-filled sanctuary:

  • Demolition & Prep
    Removed the old garden tub and cleared outdated materials to open the space for renovation.

  • Tub Installation & Placement
    Installed a custom freestanding bathtub perfectly aligned with the picture window for maximum impact.

  • Tile Work
    Coordinated with DeHart Tile in Christiansburg to install blue and teal tiles throughout—on walls, floors, or as accent features depending on the design plan.

  • Shower Enhancements
    Added a see-through upper opening in the shower stall to allow daylight to penetrate, enhancing the overall brightness and appeal of the space.

  • Fixtures & Finishing Touches
    Fitted a deep blue vanity and a modern lighted mirror to complement the tile scheme and bring additional functionality and style.

Design Highlights

  • Light-First Layout: Replacing the garden tub with a freestanding model in front of the window makes the most of natural lighting and scenic views.

  • Striking Color Palette: The blue and teal tiles, provided through our collaboration with DeHart Tile in Christiansburg, bring both elegance and a serene vibe to the bathroom.

  • Clever Daylight Strategy: The see-through shower opening is a smart design detail that brightens the shower and contributes to a breezy, open feel.

  • Cohesive Styling: The coordinated blue vanity and lighted mirror anchor the color scheme and create a tailored, polished look.
