When homeowners in Kansas City come to me ready to remodel their bathroom, they’re not just looking for a new vanity or updated tile. They want a space that feels relaxing, functional, and built for real life. And as trends evolve and people spend more time at home, what “modern” looks like has shifted in some exciting ways.
At City Wide Remodelers, we specialize in making bathrooms both beautiful and practical. Whether you’re dreaming about a spa-like primary suite or just want to upgrade a hallway bath, we can help you design a space that fits your lifestyle and adds lasting value to your home.
If you’re planning a bathroom remodel soon, here are some of the must-have features I recommend thinking about. And yes, we can help with all of it.
Walk-In Showers with Custom Tile
This one tops the list for a reason. Walk-in showers have become the go-to choice for homeowners who want a clean, open, and modern look. They’re not only easier to maintain, but they also give you more flexibility with layout and design.
We install fully tiled walk-in showers with low thresholds or no thresholds at all, depending on your needs. You can choose from oversized subway tile, stone-look porcelain, or even sleek large-format tile for a more seamless look. Add a built-in bench, recessed niches for storage, and high-end fixtures, and you’ve got a shower that feels more like a spa than a utility space.
And yes, we can remove your old tub-shower combo and rework the space for a walk-in that fits your square footage without feeling cramped.
Statement Bathtubs (Yes, They Still Belong)
While many of our clients are choosing to skip the tub in smaller bathrooms, others are leaning into freestanding soaking tubs as a statement piece in their primary suite. A well-placed modern tub isn’t just about function. It becomes a visual centerpiece for the entire room.
We help homeowners find the right size and shape, from sleek oval tubs to sculpted square-edge designs. Pair it with a floor-mounted tub filler, some thoughtful lighting, and nearby shelving, and you’ve got a space that invites you to slow down and relax.
If you’re not sure whether to keep the tub or not, let’s talk through it. The right choice depends on your lifestyle, your space, and your long-term plans for the home.
Upgraded Lighting for Looks and Function
One of the most overlooked parts of any bathroom remodel is the lighting. But in my opinion, it can make or break the final look.
Modern bathroom lighting isn’t just about throwing in a vanity fixture and calling it a day. We layer lighting to give you options. Recessed ceiling lights for general brightness. Soft wall sconces for mirror lighting that’s flattering. Accent lighting in niches or under floating vanities for that high-end feel. We also offer mirrors with built-in backlighting and cabinets with subtle underlighting features that add a polished, modern touch.
We help homeowners upgrade to dimmable switches or smart lighting controls so your bathroom can be as relaxing or as energizing as you want it to be, any time of day.
Steam Showers and Spa Features
If you’re building your dream primary bathroom, this is where you can take it to the next level. We’ve worked with Kansas City homeowners to turn their bathrooms into full spa-style retreats, complete with steam showers, upgraded ventilation, heated floors, and more.
A steam shower might sound like a luxury, but it’s more attainable than most people think. We can help you choose a system that fits your space and build it into a fully enclosed shower area. You’ll come out feeling like you just stepped out of a resort.
Custom Storage That Actually Works
Clutter kills relaxation. That’s why we design custom storage solutions into every bathroom remodel we do. It’s not about adding more cabinetry. It’s about making the storage smarter.
We’ll talk through how you use the space. Need drawers for makeup and daily essentials? Want hidden outlets inside the vanity? Need a tall linen cabinet or floating shelves to free up floor space? We can do all of that, and we’ll make sure it looks good too.
Stylish, Easy-to-Clean Tile
Tile is one of the materials that can truly define the look and feel of your new bathroom. But just as important as style is maintenance. Nobody wants to spend their weekends scrubbing grout.
We help our clients choose tile that strikes the right balance. Beautiful, timeless, and easy to care for. That might mean going with large-format tiles that reduce grout lines, porcelain tile that mimics natural stone without the upkeep, or even full wall tile installations that make your bathroom feel more finished.
And of course, we install it all with expert craftsmanship so it holds up beautifully for the long haul.
Interior Painting That Pulls It All Together
A fresh coat of paint can completely change the mood of a room, especially in a bathroom. But color choice matters. We help homeowners select tones that feel fresh and modern without overwhelming the space.
Whether you’re going for warm neutrals, calming blues, or moody charcoal accents, our in-house interior painting services take the stress out of getting it done. No taping, no mess, and no guesswork. We’ve got it covered.
And if your bathroom remodel flows into a hallway or primary bedroom, we can coordinate the interior painting across multiple spaces so it all feels pulled together.
Structural Changes, Wall Adjustments, and Layout Reworks
Sometimes, a modern bathroom remodel means thinking bigger than new finishes. If your current layout doesn’t work, we can help you change it. Need to knock down a wall to expand the space? Want to add a separate toilet area or relocate the shower for better flow? We do that.
Unlike some remodeling companies, we don’t just swap out fixtures. We help you reimagine the space entirely. If that means reworking the framing, moving plumbing, or even borrowing square footage from a closet or hallway, we’re equipped to handle the structural work with care and precision.
Build a Bathroom That Works for You
Every homeowner is different. Some want sleek and modern. Others want warm and timeless. Some need a full rework. Others just want to upgrade what they have. The good news is, at City Wide Remodelers, we do it all. And we do it with craftsmanship and care.
