Project Overview
Bathroom Remodeling in Fairfax, VA
Project Goal
This master bathroom remodel in Fairfax, VA was designed to achieve a timeless, classic elegance — a space that felt polished and refined without relying on bold colors or dramatic contrasts. The homeowners wanted a bathroom that would age gracefully, drawing on traditional design principles like wainscoting paneling, warm sconce lighting, and natural stone to create a serene, hotel-caliber retreat. The priorities were a deep soaking tub with a marble surround, a spacious walk-in shower, and a long double vanity with custom cabinetry that maximized both storage and style. Dulles Kitchen & Bath delivered a bathroom of quiet, enduring sophistication.
Materials Used
The bathroom features greige painted walls with raised wainscoting panels throughout, lending the space a refined architectural character that sets the tone from the moment you enter. The built-in soaking tub is framed by a full marble slab surround with a polished chrome wall-mount filler — an understated yet deeply luxurious focal point. The long grey shaker double vanity runs the full length of the wall, topped with a white quartz countertop and fitted with crystal knob hardware and polished chrome faucets. Marble hexagon mosaic tile covers the floor throughout, adding a classic pattern underfoot. The frameless glass walk-in shower is finished with white subway tile and chrome body fixtures, while elegant wall sconces on either side of the large mirror provide warm, flattering light.
The Result
The finished bathroom is a masterpiece of restrained elegance — a space where every element has been chosen for its quality, proportion, and lasting appeal. The wainscoting panels, marble hex floor, and crystal hardware work together to create an atmosphere of refined tradition, while the frameless glass shower and generous soaking tub ensure the space delivers a genuinely luxurious daily experience. The warm glow of the wall sconces against the greige walls gives the bathroom an intimate, boutique-hotel quality that feels miles away from the ordinary. This project is a beautiful example of what a classically inspired bathroom remodel in Fairfax, VA can achieve when craftsmanship and timeless design take precedence over passing trends.
