Christiansburg Master Bathroom Remodel
“We love coming home from our travels and using our bright, welcoming bathroom!”
— Rhonda D., Homeowner
Project: Master Bathroom Makeover for Empty Nesters - Christiansburg, VA
When these Christiansburg homeowners reached out to Renovations & Dependable Building, they were entering an exciting new season of life. Recently retired and enjoying their freedom as empty nesters, they were beginning to think intentionally about aging in place — and how their home could better support that future.
Their master bathroom, however, still felt stuck in the past. The space was dark, dated, and dominated by a large, older-style soaker tub that no longer suited their lifestyle. While it may have once been a luxury feature, it had become underused and visually overwhelming. The room felt heavy instead of relaxing — and far from the bright, welcoming retreat they envisioned.
The original layout featured an outdated soaker tub that felt unused and constrained the rest of the bathroom, making the space feel smaller and less inviting.
Our team at Renovations & Dependable Building re-imagined the room as a bright, cheerful, and functional retreat carefully designed for comfort, accessibility, and everyday enjoyment.
FINAL COST: $30,500
TIMELINE: 6 weeks
Reimaging the Space for Comfort, Light, and Longevity
Our goal with this master bathroom remodel was twofold:
Create a space that felt fresh, bright, and uplifting.
Design a layout that would support comfort and accessibility for years to come.
From Soaker Tub to Spacious Walk-In Shower
One of the most impactful changes was replacing the oversized tub with a beautiful, spacious walk-in shower. Not only did this update modernize the space, but it also made the bathroom more functional and future-friendly.
The new shower features bright, elegant tilework that reflects light throughout the room, instantly making the entire space feel larger and more open. The walk-in design eliminates the need to step over a high tub wall — a thoughtful upgrade for aging in place without sacrificing style.
Bright Finishes that Transform the Room
To further lift and modernize the bathroom, we incorporated:
A stunning new vanity with clean, timeless lines
A large LED-lit mirror that enhances both function and ambiance
Bright white flooring to maximize light reflection
Fresh, cohesive finishes that create a calm, welcoming atmosphere
The result is a space that feels cheerful in the morning and relaxing at night — a true retreat within their home.
Design Highlights
A Bright, Inviting Atmosphere: The combination of crisp white flooring and strategically layered lighting transformed what was once a dark room into a cheerful environment that energizes the space.
Aging-in-Place Friendly Features: The walk-in shower eliminates the barrier of a high tub wall, making daily routines easier and more comfortable without compromising style.
Modern, Functional Upgrades: From the contemporary vanity to the sleek fixtures and LED mirror, each element contributes to both aesthetic beauty and everyday usability.
