At 7 a.m., when two people are getting ready at once, a bathroom layout shows its worth fast. At Tom’s Best Quality Remodeling, we shape each bathroom remodel around real habits, not just the room’s measurements. In Barrington, IL, we rework compact baths with storage where it counts and finishes made for everyday wear. Before a fixture comes out, we look at who uses the room. We also check where doors open and what ends up on the counter.
Custom Cabinetry Creates a Calm Vanity Area
Storage That Disappears Into the Design
A curling iron, extra towels, and the usual collection of bottles can swallow a vanity in a day. We build custom cabinetry that tucks those things away while keeping them easy to grab. A double vanity can sit between tailored cabinets. Custom drawers and storage features can keep everyday items out of sight while staying easy to reach. Door sizes, hardware, counter edges, and stone all get close attention, because small choices change the look of the room.
- Deep drawers: Styling tools, backup toiletries, and cleaning supplies stay below the counter instead of taking over the vanity.
- Built-in niches: Shower bottles get a home in the wall, with no caddy hanging from the showerhead.
Making a Small Bathroom Feel Luxurious
In a 5-by-8-foot bathroom, even a few inches can decide whether the space feels open or cramped. We give every area a job. Then we leave enough open view to let the room breathe. During our design services, we work through the layout, materials, colors, and fixtures, with professional design packages available for sketches and 3D renderings. That planning catches trouble early, such as a vanity drawer blocked by a door swing or an unused corner beside the toilet.
- Lighting layers: A ceiling fixture handles general light, while brighter lights at the mirror help with shaving and makeup.
- Open sightlines: We place larger features so your eye can travel across the room rather than stop at a bulky cabinet.
- Fixture placement: Controls, towel bars, and everyday accessories go where they make sense when you’re using the room.
Tile and Lighting Give Our Bathrooms a Finished Look
Large-format tile and thoughtful placement can help draw the eye through a narrow bathroom. We use patterns, grout joints, and tile placement to pull the eye through the room. Wall tile, shower surrounds, and accent strips need careful cuts around valves, corners, and niches. That precision shows once the room is lit at night. Those finishing details help the room feel polished once everything comes together.
