High-end bathroom design and renovation in Los Angeles. Custom vanities, walk-in showers, freestanding tubs, and spa-level finishes. Full design-build from concept through installation.
Custom primary bathrooms at this level run $150,000 to $500,000 and above depending on scope, wet room configuration, stone selection, and custom millwork. A focused renovation, new vanity, stone surfaces, fixture upgrade, sits at the lower end. A full primary suite gut-out with wet room, steam shower, and custom cabinetry built to the ceiling occupies the upper range. The first consultation establishes the project and the budget frame.
The kitchen almost always takes longer: millwork lead times run 14 to 18 weeks, and appliance integration adds scheduling complexity. If there is flexibility, starting the primary bathroom while the kitchen is in design development compresses the overall project timeline. Both spaces can often run in parallel through design and procurement phases.
In a primary bathroom, increasingly not, especially in California, where walk-in showers and wet rooms have replaced the tub as the focal point in virtually every high-end renovation since 2022. The exception is a standalone soaking tub used as sculpture: positioned for a view, set in a stone deck, given room to breathe. The only bathtub worth keeping is one that earns its place in the room.
A wet room removes the glass enclosure from the shower and treats the entire bathing area as a single waterproofed zone. No threshold, no frame. The room flows without interruption and natural light moves freely through the space. At this level of renovation, it is almost always the right choice: the room reads larger, cleaner, and more integrated than any framed shower.
A contractor builds to a plan. An interior designer creates the plan, and at this level, also selects the stone, specifies the fixtures, draws the millwork, and coordinates every vendor. The difference between a beautiful bathroom and a great one is rarely the budget. It is whether those decisions were made by one person, aligned from concept to install.
Four to six months for a full primary bathroom renovation, driven primarily by custom vanity fabrication, typically 10 to 14 weeks, and stone sourcing. The design phase runs parallel to procurement, which compresses the overall timeline. A focused renovation with limited custom millwork can move faster; a full wet room build with architectural modifications takes longer.
