When homeowners walk into their master bathroom, they are often reminded of the laundry list of “things to upgrade.” Have you considered transforming your bathroom to an oasis or spa? There are design build bathroom remodeling companies, like Wineteer, that can bring your spa vision to life. According to houzz.com, Nearly 9 in 10 homeowners (86%) change the style of their bathroom during a remodel, and the most popular style for the second year in a row is transitional (23%). Contemporary style has slightly edged out modern this year (16% versus 15%, respectively), followed by traditional (11%) and farmhouse (5%).
Homeowners should take advantage of the design and build expertise that home remodeling experts hold. There are many benefits of a home bathroom remodel, so let’s explore options for an oasis spa look and feel!
Some of the main benefits of having spa-like bathrooms are:
A bathroom spa will immediately allow you to relax. The intent of a bathroom remodel is to fit your stage of life. If you have possible aging in place modifications (bar handles, lowering cabinet, larger bathroom door opening, etc), a bathroom remodel can relieve your stress. A bathroom remodel can help redeem all the negative effects like stress, tension, depression, anxiety, etc.
Bathroom remodeling will definitely increase the property or resale value. Whenever potential clients or renters see the cozy spa-like bathroom, they won’t mind spending more cash to grab the opportunity for the immediate relaxation look and fee.

Here are a few simple, yet effective ideas that can turn your bathroom into a spa:
Placing plants in your bathroom is the simplest way to transform the space into a spa. You can place the plants on the floor, on countertops or hanging from the ceiling. Some also like to keep fresh eucalyptus as it offers a soothing smell to relax just like you can do in a spa. You may question what type of plant to add into your bathroom… check out this article for help selecting the right option!
The bathroom featured below is one that Wineteer completed for an Overland Park resident. The mix of natural light and greenery allows a serene and oasis feel. The simplicity and clean look bring a tranquility when entering the bathroom.
Spa feels more authentic when it includes natural elements like natural stone, marble, and different types of wooden compartments. The vintage look will take you to a place far from the urban pressures.
Low-lit lights or sconce lights are usually used in bathroom spas and you can install them in your bathroom to bring in the vibe. Usually, too many lights lead to unrelaxed nerves, that’s why dim lights are used to avoid the light pollution effects.
Steam showers are great to relieve stress and feel more refreshing. Specifically, if the shower head is oversized, it offers strong water pressure close to your body that helps in detoxing therapeutically just like a spa.
Since most of us use tiles for our bathroom floors, it feels so chilly, specifically in cold winters. At that moment stepping onto the floor will feel like stepping on sharp pins. Even bathmats won’t help much in those harsh colds.
You can install radiant floor heating for your bathroom, it will be both comfortable and luxurious. The bathroom will feel more like a spa this way, and nothing beats hot spa days in winter.

One of the most important parts of turning your bathroom into a spa is having a comfortable soaking tub. Here are some free-standing tubs to consider: https://wineteerconstruction.com/5-best-freestanding-bathtub-ideas-for-a-stylish-upgrade/
Make sure the tub is big enough to relax comfortably. Also, place the tub at a prominent point in your bathroom as it will give a spa-like vibe whenever you enter the space.
If you have a sophisticated mural on one side of the tub, it will feel like a luxurious museum with a relaxing atmosphere to soak in. You can put simple minimalistic art to an elegant backdrop that goes well with the overall theme of the bathroom.
Invest in good towels! Plush towels have a luxurious comfy feeling. You may even consider a towel warmer for an extra spa look and feel!
One of the ways to make the bathroom more spa-like is to paint the cabinets to a moody sophisticated color. Do you enjoy crisp white, mindful grays, light greens, or tans? There are ways to incorporate colors into cabinetry in a tasteful way.
Adding open shelving in your bathroom remodel can be a good addition to turning the bathroom into a spa. The open shelving will encourage you to keep the clean and crisp feel.
All the cords of your electric bathroom tools will make the space chaotic and unsafe. You can install the outlets inside the vanity drawer and cabinet to keep the tools and their cords inside. This way the cabinet will be decluttered and the washroom will feel more like a shooting spa.
The spa makes you more connected with nature, and that’s why it’s best to incorporate earthy colors when remodeling the bathroom.
Adding elegant-looking curtains on your bathroom window can limit the sunlight, ensure privacy and also add a polished touch to the space.

At Wineteer Construction, our focus is on exceeding client expectations. One such project was a bathroom and laundry remodel project in Overland Park, Kansas. The homeowner wanted a more convenient laundry area that was closer to their master bathroom. With this understanding, our team created a plan to construct a room adjoining the master bathroom and closet spaces.
The result was a thoughtfully expanded area that accommodated the laundry room they envisioned. Our design process enabled the installation of a front-loading washer and dryer, complete with a countertop that provided ample room to manage the laundry effectively.
The outcome of this laundry remodel is an excellent example of Wineteer Construction’s commitment to client satisfaction, practical design, and functional living solutions in the Kansas City area.
As part of this remodeling project, Wineteer Construction’s team installed a discreet cabinet to store laundry detergent and cleaning products, keeping them out of sight. We also added a hanging rod above the appliances for clothes that need to air dry or aren’t ready to be moved to the master closet.
The laundry room can be easily closed off with an accessible-friendly door, creating a more intentional layout. This bathroom and laundry remodel optimizes space, enhances functionality, and improves overall efficiency.
In the master bathroom remodel portion of the project, Wineteer’s design team had a clear vision from the client. The team removed a built-in tub and replaced it with a free-standing oval-shaped tub.
There are many reasons why homeowners are opting for barrier-free showers, one of which is the ease of aging in place modifications. The risk of falling is greatly reduced when the ledge of the shower is removed. The ability to roll in a wheelchair, or walker, is ideal for a barrier-free shower, allowing the homeowners to live in the home unassisted for a much longer time. For the wainscot around the tub and shower area we used a large format 12 x 36 inch tile. This embossed tile levels up the space for a timeless look.

In the new barrier-free shower, Wineteer placed a border of smaller, unique tiles through the space vertically to house the rain shower head and inset shower caddies. This pop of color adds dimension and texture to the space and coordinates with the penny tile used on the shower floor. Fixtures in the shower are all chrome, matching the chrome shower handle and the chrome tub fixtures.
The bathroom cabinets are painted white, both brightening the space, and elevating the look. The homeowners decided on a unique design choice – to add a center tower cabinet between the two vanities. This creates additional storage for the vanity and sink area, and the ability to put toiletries behind a door and not on the counters. All cabinet doors are inset to provide the clean and seamless look you see here. The countertops are quartz and hardware and drawer pulls are chrome. The tile on the floor of the bathroom is a ceramic tile that mimics a Calcutta marble.
This was an amazing project for the Wineteer team to work on with our long-time clients. But it didn’t stop here! In addition to this bathroom remodel, we had the chance to completely renovate their kitchen and move their laundry to their en suite. This whole home remodel provided a relief to the chore of laundry, and the ability to fully enjoy both the kitchen and bathroom!
