At The Home X, we believe a bathroom should be more than just functional — it should be a place of relaxation and comfort. Recently, we completed a luxury bathroom remodel in Princeton, NJ that turned a dated space into a spa-like retreat. This project highlights how thoughtful design, premium materials, and expert craftsmanship can elevate everyday living.
For homeowners in Princeton and surrounding communities like New Hope, Pennington, and Upper Bucks County, investing in a high-end bathroom remodel is one of the best ways to combine lifestyle improvements with long-term home value.
The Client’s Vision
Our clients wanted a bathroom that felt bright, modern, and inviting while still blending with the timeless character of their Princeton home. They described their dream space as “a place that feels like a spa, but practical enough for daily use.”
To achieve this, we collaborated with them on every design detail — from the floating vanity with quartz countertops, to the frameless glass shower, to the warm lighting that ties it all together.
The Remodeling Process
Step 1: Careful Planning
Before demolition, we created a full design plan including 3D renderings, material samples, and layout adjustments. Our design team helped balance functionality (ample storage and lighting) with luxury touches (frameless shower doors, premium tile).
Step 2: Demolition & Prep
We carefully removed the existing fixtures and prepped the room for new plumbing, waterproofing, and electrical work. Protecting the rest of the home during construction is always a priority — we sealed the work area with plastic sheeting and used HEPA filters to keep dust contained.
Step 3: Tile & Surfaces
For the floors and shower walls, the client selected 12×24 porcelain tiles in a soft grey tone. These tiles create a sleek, modern look and are highly durable. In the shower, we added a rainfall showerhead for that true spa feel.
Step 4: Cabinetry & Countertops
The star of the bathroom is the custom oak vanity, paired with a bright white quartz countertop. Quartz was chosen for its balance of luxury appearance, durability, and low maintenance.
Step 5: Lighting & Finishing Touches
We layered the lighting with recessed ceiling lights, vanity task lighting, and hidden LED under-cabinet strips. This mix of functional and ambient light creates a relaxing atmosphere while still being practical for daily routines.
Materials & Finishes
- Vanity: Custom oak floating vanity
- Countertop: White quartz with subtle veining
- Shower: Frameless glass enclosure with rainfall showerhead
- Tile: Soft grey porcelain, 12×24 format
- Lighting: Recessed ceiling lights, vanity sconces, and LED accents
Challenges & Solutions
Like many Princeton homes, this bathroom had some quirks in layout and plumbing. Our team had to:
- Reroute plumbing to accommodate the frameless shower and rainfall head.
- Maximize storage within a modest footprint by adding custom drawers and hidden shelving.
- Improve ventilation with a new quiet exhaust fan to prevent moisture buildup.
By addressing these details during the remodel, we created a space that isn’t just beautiful — it’s built to last.
The Final Result
The finished bathroom combines modern luxury with practical functionality. The clean lines, bright surfaces, and thoughtful layout make it feel spacious and calming. At the same time, every detail was chosen for durability and ease of maintenance.
It’s a space the homeowners can enjoy daily, whether they’re rushing out the door in the morning or unwinding at the end of a long day.
