A Fresh Finish: Transforming a Cold, Outdated Bathroom in Grayslake

By Bryan Slowick | Jan 08, 2026

After years of renovating different areas of their home, our Grayslake homeowners were ready to tackle the last space on their list—the bathroom. This room has been left feeling cold, outdated, and in need of some renovation love. 

 

Starting Fresh with a Full Gut Renovation

In order to truly transform the bathroom, our BDS team began this project with a complete gut. All existing finishes and fixtures were removed, allowing for a clean slate and the opportunity for our team to reimagine the space from the ground up. This approach ensured that every detail—from layout to materials—could be thoughtfully selected to better suit the homeowners’ needs and vision. The new design focused on creating a brighter, more inviting atmosphere that felt more like their own.

Expanding the Shower for Comfort and Function

One of the most impactful changes the BDS team made was expanding the shower. By increasing its size, the bathroom instantly felt more open and comfortable. A new glass surround enhanced the sense of space while keeping the design clean and modern. Built-in niches were added for everyday convenience, offering practical storage without sacrificing style.

Bold Design Choices That Make a Statement

Rather than playing it safe, our Grayslake homeowners embraced bold color selections to add personality and visual interest. These choices brought energy into the space and aligned perfectly with their current aesthetic, turning the bathroom into a standout feature rather than an afterthought. Brighter fixtures and updated metal tones were carefully selected to complement the new color palette and add warmth and contrast. The result is a cohesive design that feels modern, intentional, and refreshed.

A Space Finally Finished

What was once a cold and outdated room in this Grayslake home is now a functional, stylish bathroom that completes the homeowners’ renovation journey. With thoughtful design choices, improved functionality, and a fresh aesthetic, this bathroom is no longer just the final item on a list—it’s a space meant to be enjoyed every day.
