From Dated to Thoughtfully Designed: An Accessible Bathroom Remodel in Knoxville, TN

From Dated to Thoughtfully Designed: An Accessible Bathroom Remodel in Knoxville, TN

When homeowners begin researching a bathroom remodel in Knoxville, TN, the motivation is often more than cosmetic. For this single-family home, the goal was to transform a dated guest bathroom into a safer, more comfortable space—one that would better accommodate visiting aging parents while still feeling stylish and welcoming.

This project proves that accessibility-focused design can be both functional and beautiful.

The Homeowner’s Goal: Safety, Comfort, and Peace of Mind

Karen’s guest bathroom had seen better days. The finishes were outdated, the bathtub went largely unused, and the space didn’t provide the level of safety she wanted for her parents when they came to visit.

Her goals were clear:

• Remove the unused tub
• Improve accessibility and reduce fall risk
• Create a bathroom that felt modern and inviting—not clinical
• Complete the remodel before Christmas

She needed a team that could balance thoughtful design with practical solutions.

The Challenge: Updating the Space Without Compromising Style

Designing for accessibility requires experience and planning. The challenge wasn’t just converting a tub to a shower—it was doing so in a way that felt intentional, cohesive, and attractive.

This remodel needed:

• A walk-in shower with easy access
• Grab bars placed correctly and discreetly
• Materials that were durable, safe, and timeless
• A smooth, efficient process to meet a tight holiday deadline

Karen wanted confidence that every decision—from layout to finishes—was the right one.

The Solution: A Complete, Accessibility-Focused Bathroom Remodel

Our team handled a full bathroom remodel, starting with a tub-to-shower conversion designed specifically for aging-in-place comfort. We worked closely with Karen to guide material selections and ensure every detail aligned with her vision.

The remodel included:

• A low-curb tiled shower for safer entry and exit
• Grab bars installed for stability without overpowering the design
• Tile flooring and shower walls for durability and easy maintenance
• A new vanity with cultured marble countertops, offering a clean, polished look
• Brushed nickel Delta fixtures, chosen for reliability and timeless style
• A taller toilet seat to improve comfort and accessibility

Excluding the custom glass enclosure, the bathroom was fully functional in just three weeks, finishing right on time for Christmas guests.

The Transformation: A Bathroom That Truly Works for Guests

The finished bathroom feels open, bright, and thoughtfully designed. What was once a dated, underused space is now a guest bathroom that offers both safety and comfort—without sacrificing aesthetics.

Karen now has peace of mind knowing her parents can move through the space confidently, and her guests enjoy a bathroom that feels updated and welcoming. It’s a remodel that supports everyday life today while preparing the home for the future.
