“She was purchasing her first home and wanted it to reflect her young, fun character as a gamer,” says Michelle Linden, owner and architect at Atelier Drome. “She requested playful colors and patterns, pink accents and consideration for her cat, Jemima.”

Here are some ways to customize your own remodel to suit your style and lifestyle.

Rework the Space to fit Your Specific Needs

The original layout of this Seattle bathroom involved a completely enclosed shower perpendicular to a small vanity. After reorienting the direction of the shower, Michelle also relocated the vanity to allow for a freestanding tub—one of the homeowner’s specific requests. To accommodate storage needs, Michelle incorporated floating shelves and shower niches as well as the new and improved vanity with quartz countertops and spacious drawers.

Set the Mood With Finishes

In this Seattle bathroom renovation, contrasting tile shapes and a combination of earthy and bright tones alongside warm wood finishes and brass accents create a bold yet relaxing look and feel.

Don’t Hold Back on Color

The palette inspiration for the Seattle bathroom renovation came from the tiles the homeowner and Michelle selected. “We knew that we wanted a variety of colors and wanted to work with tiles that had variety within them,” Michelle explains. “We immediately thought of Heath Ceramics and collaborated with the client to find the exact mix.” This resulted in a combination of three colors: pink, teal and earthy green. “It is a modern twist on a mid-century palette,” she says.
