Transforming a Bathroom with Elegance and Functionality in Glastonbury, Connecticut

At First Choice Bath Remodeling, we specialize in turning ordinary bathrooms into stunning, modern spaces that homeowners love. Our latest project in Glastonbury, Connecticut, is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and quality materials can elevate a dull bathroom into a luxurious retreat. This remodel featured large-format porcelain tiles, a freestanding tub, LED lighting, and custom shower elements, creating a spa-like atmosphere with timeless charm for the homeowners to enjoy.

The Vision: Bigger, Sleeker, More Lavish

Our clients wanted to update their bathroom with a contemporary design that emphasized clean lines and spaciousness. The key objectives included:

• Utilizing large porcelain tiles for a seamless and modern look

• Installing a freestanding tub and a sleek floor-mounted tub filler

• Upgrading the lighting with an LED mirror and LED lighting under the shower step

• Incorporating a custom mosaic shower floor and a recessed shower niche

• Ensuring the space felt open, elegant, and tranquil

With this vision in mind, we were able to develop a remodeling plan that maximized both function and overall aesthetics potential.

Before: A Dated and Cramped Space

The original bathroom, though functional, felt incredibly outdated and lacked the modern features our clients desired. The small tiles made the space look cluttered, the lighting was insufficient, and the old bathtub didn’t complement the sleek, contemporary design they envisioned. It was clear that a complete transformation was needed to achieve the luxurious and spacious feel that they wanted.

The Remodeling Process: Elevating Style and Comfort

With the design plan approved, we moved forward with the renovation, ensuring every detail contributed to the overall transformation that needed to be done.

1. Installing Large-Format Porcelain Tiles

A standout feature of this remodel was the use of oversized 42”x 42” porcelain tiles on the floor and 32”x 32” tiles on the walls. These larger tiles reduced grout lines, creating a sleek and uninterrupted surface that enhances the feeling of spaciousness. The Celini Argento Polished Porcelain Tile from Floor & Decor was chosen for its refined appearance and durability.

5. Still Awaiting the Glass Shower Enclosure

The finishing touch is the frameless glass shower enclosure, which is still pending installation. This final element will complete the look, ensuring that the space remains open and airy, while still being able to showcase the beautiful tilework and fixtures that we installed.

After: A Sleek and Serene Retreat

The transformation is nothing short of stunning. The use of large-format tiles created a seamless, modern aesthetic, while the freestanding tub and elegant fixtures added a touch of luxury. The LED lighting enhanced both functionality and ambiance, making this bathroom truly feel like a personal spa.

Our clients were thrilled with the results, noting how much brighter, more open, and more inviting the space now feels. The combination of contemporary design and high-quality materials ensured that this remodel not only met but exceeded their expectations.
