How we approach Bathroom Design

Function first. Bathrooms are some of the most demanding spaces in the home in both design and construction. They incorporate all major systems of the home and nowhere is design more personal than in the bathroom.

We will have between 2 and 4 design meetings for every bathroom project. The first meeting is always dedicated to layout and construction standards for things like waterproofing and ventilation. We then layer in material choices, fixtures and style.

We like to incorporate materials like stone, wood, and earth-toned colors, so you can create a bathroom that feels connected to Tallahassee’s natural surroundings while still being modern and functional.

Our team also considers sustainability in our bathroom designs as well. We can review eco-friendly materials, water-efficient fixtures, and energy-saving lighting. This can help you reduce your environmental impact and cut costs while enjoying a beautifully designed space.

Important Bathroom Design Features

Custom Storage

A lot of storage solutions waste space. You want to customize your drawers, cabinets and closet for your needs and daily routine.

What makes good bathroom lighting

We like to include 4 types of light in each bathroom.

  • Task lighting – at the vanity and in the shower
  • General lighting – simple overhead lights, often on a dimmer
  • Night light – often on a motion sensor
  • Accent lights – for when you want a more spa like experience.
What are some common aging in place features?

Features like barrier-free showers, wider doorways, grab bars, and non-slip flooring are important for every bathroom.

What are some eco-friendly options for bathroom design?

Low-flow toilets, bidet seats, LED lighting, and sustainable materials like teak or recycled glass help reduce environmental impact without sacrificing style.

How can I incorporate luxury into my bathroom design?

Proper layout is critical, don’t overcrowd the space if you are going for a luxury feel. Make the space personal and add high-end touches like heated floors, towel warmers and quiet ventilation.

Walk-in showers are a favorite feature in bathrooms today. These showers are designed to be luxurious, with features like dual shower heads, built-in seating, and sleek glass enclosures that make the space feel open and airy.

Freestanding tubs are still in demand but many homeowners are opting safer, easier to clean deck mounted tubs.

Heated floors were once a luxury but new technology has made them more affordable and they fast becoming a favorite feature.

Custom storage and ample counterspace are critical to any bathroom.

Many people are remodeling with Aging place in mind. You can read our case study on how we approached a remodel for a couple who are aging-in-place.

Designing for Aging in Place

For many homeowners in Tallahassee, a bathroom remodel is not just about updating the look of their home—it’s about planning for the future.

Features like barrier-free showers, grab bars, and adjustable lighting not only make the bathroom safer but also ensure that the space will be functional for years to come.

McManus Kitchen and Bath is well-versed in designing bathrooms that are both beautiful and accessible.

Barrier-free showers, for example, make it easy for people of all ages to enter and exit safely, while grab bars provide stability for those who need extra support.

These features are not only helpful for aging homeowners but also provide convenience for families with young children or individuals with limited mobility.

The Spa-Like Bathroom

More homeowners are viewing their bathrooms as places of relaxation and self-care, rather than just functional spaces.

Spa-inspired bathrooms are on the rise, with features like rain showers, deep soaking tubs, and heated floors becoming must-haves for those who want to turn their bathroom into a personal sanctuary.

McManus Kitchen and Bath excels at creating these spa-like environments, designing bathrooms that feel luxurious while also being practical for everyday use.

Smart Features in Bathroom Design

In addition to popular trends like walk-in showers and natural materials, homeowners are now incorporating smart technologies to make their bathroom more comfortable and efficient.

For the ultimate spa experience, elements like aromatherapy systems, heated towel racks, and built-in sound systems add another layer of relaxation.

Incorporating adjustable lighting options, like dimmable LED mirrors, allows you to create the perfect atmosphere whether you’re unwinding after a long day or getting ready for a night out.

The addition of heated flooring is a small luxury that can make a big difference in comfort, especially during Tallahassee’s cooler winter months.

Smart mirrors are also making waves in bathroom designs. These mirrors come equipped with features like touch controls for lighting, built-in defoggers, and even Bluetooth connectivity, transforming your bathroom into a cutting-edge retreat.
