One of the most used rooms in the home the bathroom is more important to our health and happiness than most people realize.

Bathroom design in Tallahassee goes beyond new tile and upgrading fixtures. It’s about creating a space that reflects your lifestyle, enhances comfort, and adds value to your home.
McManus Kitchen and Bath has helped countless homeowners transform their bathrooms into beautiful, functional retreats. Our turn key approach to remodeling means you’ll enjoy the process as much as the result.
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.
A lot of storage solutions waste space. You want to customize your drawers, cabinets and closet for your needs and daily routine.
We like to include 4 types of light in each bathroom.
Features like barrier-free showers, wider doorways, grab bars, and non-slip flooring are important for every bathroom.
Low-flow toilets, bidet seats, LED lighting, and sustainable materials like teak or recycled glass help reduce environmental impact without sacrificing style.
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.

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.

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

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.
