Local Project Spotlight: Transforming a Dated Bathroom in Des Moines

At West Shore Home, we’re passionate about bringing new life to homes across Des Moines, and today, we’re excited to showcase one of our latest transformations. This project highlights how a dated fiberglass bathroom unit was completely revitalized, combining functionality and style to create a modern and inviting space for our clients.

The Challenge: Dated, Dysfunctional Bathroom

Our client approached us with a common concern: their bathroom was functional but outdated. The old fiberglass unit had served its purpose but had seen better days. It was time for a significant upgrade that would not only improve the aesthetics of the space but also enhance its usability.

The Transformation: Modern and Functional Design

The transformation began with the installation of the stunning Theian Ivory wall. This elegant and timeless choice instantly brightened the bathroom, providing a warm and sophisticated backdrop that would complement any decor style. Theian Ivory, with its subtle veining and neutral tones, adds a touch of luxury without overwhelming the space.

To maximize the functionality of the shower area, we installed a custom 34×48 right drain shower base. This custom dimension was carefully chosen to fit the bathroom’s layout perfectly, ensuring a seamless integration with the existing plumbing while optimizing the available space.

Accessibility features

In a modern bathroom, every detail matters. We added three sleek metal shelves that provide ample storage for toiletries, keeping the shower area organized and clutter-free. These shelves are not only practical but also complement the overall design with their minimalist appearance.

Safety and accessibility were also top priorities for our client. To address this, we installed two grab bars—one measuring 18 inches and the other 24 inches. These bars provide additional support and peace of mind for the homeowners, especially when getting in and out of the shower. The grab bars were strategically placed to ensure maximum safety without compromising the design.

Handheld Showerhead and Curtain Rod

For added convenience, we included a magnetic handheld showerhead. This feature offers flexibility, allowing the user to direct the water flow precisely where it’s needed. Whether it’s for rinsing down the shower walls or for more comfortable showering, this addition enhances the overall bathing experience.

Finally, the project was completed with a stylish curtain rod that blends effortlessly with the Theian Ivory walls and metal accents. This simple yet effective finishing touch ties the entire design together, ensuring the bathroom is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.
