Primary Bathroom Remodel in Bellevue, WA

Location: Bellevue, WA
Project Type: Primary & Hall Bathroom Remodel
Client: Michelle Burroughs
Design: Slava Kachaieva
This Bellevue bathroom remodel transformed an outdated primary bath into a brighter, more functional space designed around everyday comfort.

An oversized jetted corner tub was removed to reclaim valuable floor space, while the shower, vanity, flooring, fixtures, and finishes were redesigned to create a more open and balanced bathroom.

Layout Transformation

Reclaiming Space With a Better Bathroom Layout
The existing oversized jetted tub occupied a significant portion of the room without providing the functionality the homeowners wanted.
Removing it created an opportunity to improve the balance of the bathroom and introduce a freestanding tub that requires less visual and physical space.
The new arrangement makes the room feel more open while allowing the bathtub, shower, vanity, and circulation areas to work together more naturally.
A Freestanding Tub That Opens the Room

The original corner tub was replaced with a freestanding clawfoot-style bathtub, creating a lighter visual footprint and giving the bathroom a more refined focal point.

The new tub maintains the comfort of a dedicated bathing area while making the surrounding space easier to use and maintain.

A Brighter, More Functional Shower

The shower area was redesigned to create a cleaner, more comfortable everyday experience.
Crisp white subway tile brightens the enclosure, while brushed chrome fixtures provide a simple, timeless contrast. Hexagon floor tile adds texture and visual detail without overwhelming the space.

A glass enclosure keeps sightlines open and helps the bathroom feel larger and brighter.

More Storage Without Adding Visual Clutter

The outdated vanity was replaced with a large double vanity designed to provide significantly more everyday storage.

Dedicated space for toiletries, cosmetics, and personal-care items helps keep the countertops organized while giving both users comfortable access to the vanity.

Light cabinetry and countertops also contribute to the brighter overall palette of the remodeled bathroom.


A Bathroom That Feels Larger and Works Better

The completed remodel demonstrates how improving proportions and functionality can have as much impact as changing the finishes.

Replacing the oversized tub, improving the shower, increasing vanity storage, and coordinating the tile, fixtures, flooring, and color palette created a bathroom that feels more spacious and easier to use every day.

The result is a comfortable, family-friendly space with a lighter and more cohesive design.
