The Challenge

The existing ensuite bathroom was outdated and lacked both visual appeal and modern functionality. The homeowners wanted a more refined layout with upgraded materials, improved storage, and a design that would feel calm and cohesive while incorporating both a shower and freestanding tub.

Our Solution

Germano Creative completed a full gut renovation, rebuilding the space with a modern layout and carefully selected materials. A new shower system with bold finishes was paired with a freestanding tub to create a balanced, spa-like environment. Custom cabinetry and upgraded lighting were integrated to improve both storage and usability while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

Design & Function Highlights

d tones creates a balanced, modern aesthetic. The large-format porcelain tile provides a clean, seamless look, while the pebble stone accent adds texture and visual interest. The freestanding tub and glass-enclosed shower allow the space to feel open while offering both relaxation and practicality. Custom storage solutions improve organization without compromising the overall design.

Client Testimonial

I can unreservedly recommend Germano Creative Interior Contracting. There is simply no area or aspect of their work that is not excellent. Every possible step is taken to reduce the impact of the renovation on your home. The entire team adopts a “clean as you go” way of working which keeps the inevitable clutter of renovation to an absolute minimum. Suzette and her team are perfectionists and will not consider a job finished until both she and her client are completely satisfied. Virtually every day during the 5 week process of my renovation, Suzette or another member of her team were in contact with me, keeping me abreast of how the project was progressing and letting me know if the schedule was going to change. In the end, I had an absolutely fantastic new bathroom (one full day ahead of schedule and on budget) with virtually no disruption to the rest of my house. The attention to detail and professionalism of this company is unparalleled. Germano Creative Interior Contracting will impress you!
