Western Springs Bathroom Upgrade

This project centered on creating two distinct experiences within the same home—each with its own identity, while still feeling cohesive overall.

In the basement, the goal was to lean into a richer, more dramatic palette. Floor-to-ceiling tile, unlacquered brass fixtures, and a walnut vanity bring depth and warmth, elevating the space beyond a typical lower-level bathroom. The result is a moody, design-forward environment that feels intentional rather than secondary.

Upstairs, the approach shifted to something lighter and more classic. Ann Sacks ceramic tile paired with marble flooring creates a layered, high-end foundation, while a white oak vanity introduces warmth in a more understated way. The overall feel is timeless—refined without being overly formal.

Balancing these two directions within the same project was key. Each bathroom serves a different purpose, but together they reflect a cohesive level of detail and design intention throughout the home.

Projects like this highlight the importance of aligning design intent with real-world constraints—especially in smaller spaces where every decision has an impact.

Our role was to guide the process from both a design and execution standpoint, helping refine selections, manage trade-offs, and ensure that each space achieved its intended feel without overcomplicating the build. With two distinct design directions, clarity in decision-making was key.

The end result is a strong example of how thoughtful planning and collaboration can elevate even the smallest spaces—delivering high-quality, highly tailored outcomes that feel both intentional and lasting.

SG home builders are professional, organized, and communicate efficiently! Ryan provided a timely and accurate quote that helped us determine the final scope of our project before we got started. Ryan was always a phone call away then entire project! I will be calling SG home builders again the next time I need a project done at our home.
