Find The Solution That Best Fits Your Custom Space.

What you might get
You probably won’t be able to move any plumbing around, but you could replace fixtures and other materials with stock, off-the-shelf products like you’d find in a big-box store.

Countertops
At this level, low-end granite and
cultured marble are most popular.

Tile
You could do the floor area with
ceramic or porcelain tiles.

Walls
Painting is the most affordable choice here.

Cabinets
If your cabinets are in good condition, paint them or replace with an off-the-shelf cabinet from a big-box store. Lighting, fixtures and finishes are all basic, off-the-shelf products.

Plumbing
Keep in mind that because the plumbing fixtures at this level have plastic pieces on the inside, they will likely need to be replaced every five to seven years.

What you might get
Better fixtures, like a toilet with better flushing capabilities or faucets with better flow. New features like flooring, a vanity, a sink, lighting, window treatments, hardware, a comfort-height toilet, a framed mirror that matches the vanity or recessed medicine chest—all of which are slightly better quality than from a big-box store. Plus, you can make a few more adjustments to the layout. Maybe you’ll put in a slightly smaller bathtub to make way for a slightly larger shower. Maybe you’ll slide a sink down and move the plumbing slightly to add a tall linen cabinet.

Countertops
A higher-grade granite, marble, or quartz.

Cabinets
Semi-custom pieces with higher-end finishes—glazed instead of just stained, and decorative details like cabinet legs and intricate door panels.

Plumbing
You can make moderate adjustments to the plumbing, like moving the faucets or shower, but the toilet will likely stay in the same relative location.

Fixtures
You can upgrade the fixtures for ones with higher-quality copper or bronze inside, which will last considerably longer than off-the-shelf units.

Tile
At this level porcelain will be your new best friend. It’s more durable than ceramic and slip-resistant, and there are more color, size, and design options. Porcelain tiles are designed to mimic natural stone.

Walls
You can get a bit more creative with materials and do tile walls or real beadboard.

Everything will go away, and you’ll put things where you want. You might also punch into an adjacent room for more space or punch out the exterior. The toilet and shower might switch locations, the bathtub might go away and a sauna might come in; all-new high-end fixtures, materials, cabinets, lighting and finishes can be added. The room is likely to be larger. Detailed molding, trimwork, and tilework might also be included.

Cabinetry
Solid wood construction with custom finishes and decorative accent pieces.

Tile
Natural marble, limestone, or granite, all of which are more labor-intensive and difficult to cut. Natural stone requires more maintenance, but every single tile has its own unique character.

Plumbing
High-end finishes and parts.

Amenities
Steam showers and radiant floor heating.
