Modern Rustic Bathroom Remodel in Upper Arlington

Upper Arlington

This full bathroom remodel was crafted to create a soothing, nature-inspired retreat that brings the outdoors in. At the heart of the design are knotty hickory wood cabinets, chosen for their warm tones and organic texture, giving the space an inviting, naturalistic character. The shower features a stone pebble floor, offering a gentle, spa-like feel underfoot and evoking the sensation of stepping into a peaceful outdoor stream.

Surrounding the shower, slate-like wall tiles add depth, movement, and the rugged beauty of natural stone, reinforcing the room’s earthy, grounded atmosphere. To enhance wellness and relaxation, we installed a steam unit in the new shower, thoughtfully complementing the home’s existing steam room. This addition creates a serene place to relax and unwind after a workout, seamlessly blending form and function. Every element was selected to reflect the clients’ desire for a calming,

nature-connected environment while maintaining the elevated craftsmanship and modern comforts of a luxury bath. The final result is a rejuvenating escape that feels both timeless and deeply restorative.

We wanted a bathroom that felt connected to nature, and the result exceeded every expectation. The materials, textures, and details create such a calming, organic atmosphere—exactly what we envisioned. Adding the steam unit to complement our existing steam room was a game-changer; it’s become our favorite place to relax and unwind after a workout. The entire space feels like a personal retreat, and we couldn’t be happier with how beautifully everything came together.

Quote From the Designer

Designing this bathroom was an incredibly rewarding experience. The clients had a clear vision of bringing the outdoors inside, and we were fully aligned on how to translate that into a warm, natural, spa-like environment. From the knotty hickory cabinetry to the slate-inspired tile and pebble shower floor, every material was chosen to evoke a calming, organic feel. Adding the new steam unit was the perfect finishing touch, creating a space where they can truly unwind after a workout. Collaborating with them on this project was a pleasure, and seeing their vision come to life has been one of the highlights of our work together.
