Primary Bathroom Remodel in Byfield, MA

The design pairs warm stained wood with extensive natural stone, custom cabinetry and layered lighting. Stone covers the shower, the tub surround, the floor and the wall accents, and the dark wood vanity gives the room its contrast.

The custom double vanity gives each person a sink, counter space and storage. Its stained wood cabinetry runs up past the counter to frame the large mirrors, with extra cabinets, open display niches and recessed lights built into the surround. Undermount porcelain sinks sit in the stone countertop.

The large glass-enclosed shower is the centerpiece. Natural stone tile wraps the walls and continues across the ceiling, a detail most tiled showers stop short of. Inside are multiple shower heads, handheld sprays and built-in niches behind frameless glass, over a natural stone mosaic floor.

An integrated soaking tub sits beside the shower in a matching stone surround, with a long recessed niche above the deck, so bathing and showering each have their own area.

A skylight brings natural light into the middle of the bathroom, and recessed ceiling lights and wall sconces cover the evenings. Polished chrome plumbing fixtures add a crisp contrast to the wood and stone.

Byfield is the oldest of the four primary baths in our project library and has the most natural stone. The 2022 bath in Andover's Phillips area ($80,000) used marble-look porcelain floor to ceiling with a shower bench; the 2026 Boxford bath ($65,000) centered on a freestanding soaking tub with a heated towel warmer and LED mirrors; and the 2026 spa-inspired Andover bath ($60,000) paired a white oak double vanity with brushed brass.
