The advent of open showers has truly changed the way your bathroom can look and feel. Open, walk-in showers don’t have an obstructive curb, making them ideal for universal bathroom designs. They keep a bathroom as open and spacious as it could possibly be and a shower without a door allows beautiful tile work to shine - all without a frameless glass door to clean or maintain.
Under-cabinet lighting is a practical and beautiful addition to any Chicago bathroom remodel. In addition to improving bathroom safety and night-lighting, under-cabinet (or under-vanity) lights add a desirable ambiance.
One of the things we love most about natural, hardwood cabinets is their beautiful, wood grain patterns. Like fingerprints, wood grains displayed via Chicago custom cabinets are 100% unique, each tree having its own “print,” so to speak.
Concrete countertops have been a "hot new item" in the Chicago kitchen and bath remodeling sector for a while now. We’ve hesitated to endorse them because while they’re perfect visual accompaniments to modern and contemporary design enthusiasts, we needed more evidence they would last that extra mile.
Cabinetry is one of the most important features in your kitchen design. Since kitchen cabinets comprise the most visual square footage of any other feature, they pack a powerful design punch. More importantly, the overall functionality of your Chicago custom cabinets depends on the design, layout and quality of materials.
As you sift through the cabinet options for your upcoming kitchen remodel, you’ll notice the terms “custom” and “semi-custom” when it comes to some of the top cabinet options. While custom cabinets come with a higher price tag, there’s no argument that you get what you pay for when it comes to their construction, quality of installation and durability.
Freestanding tubs remain a desirable feature for Chicago bathroom designs. They set the stage, so to speak, for a space – a time – a relaxing experience that is set apart from the rest of the room’s utilitarian features.
In a freestanding tub, you can soak all of your tension, worries and cares away – preferably underneath the ambient glow of a gorgeous light fixture (set on a dimmer switch, of course).
How lucky you are to design a Chicago bathroom remodel that includes a luxury steam shower. Once that shower is in use, you’ll wonder how you ever survived life with a regular ol’ shower all those years.
In full disclosure, we'll be honest and upfront ; there isn’t an employee here at KBU that doesn’t sing the praises of steam showers. We love them. In our minds, it’s pro, pro, pro when it comes to these luxurious and relaxing additions to a Chicago bathroom remodel.
Marble has been used as luxury flooring and countertops for thousands of years. Travel to Italy or Greece and you’ll see evidence of gorgeous, centuries-old marble, used in villa and religious ruins across those beautiful countries. That idea of legacy beauty and longevity make it an easy choice for a Chicago kitchen and bath remodel, right?
