Travertine-Look Bath with Freestanding Tub in Los Angeles

How This Bathroom Turned Out

This Los Angeles bathroom has a calm, spa-like feel. The walk-in shower is lined in travertine-look tile, with a long niche, a small-tile mosaic floor, and matte black fixtures behind a frameless glass enclosure. A freestanding oval tub sits in an arched alcove under a large window, against a fluted wood wall panel, with a floor-mounted black tub filler. A fluted wood vanity with a white top, a backlit oval mirror, and a smart toilet complete the room.

Why an Arched Tub Alcove Works

Giving the tub its own arched alcove turns it into the focal point of the room. The curve softens all the straight lines of the shower and vanity, and it frames the window like a picture. Fluted wood on the back wall adds warmth and texture right where you relax. The same fluted look shows up on the vanity, which ties both sides of the room together. Recessed shelves beside the tub keep bath items close without cluttering the floor. Our bathroom remodeling team plans features like this from day one.

How We Run Your Bathroom Remodel

A bathroom remodel in Los Angeles with a freestanding tub takes some planning under the floor. We start with a free consultation to talk about layout, style, and budget, then handle design, permits, plumbing, framing, and finishes. A floor-mounted tub filler needs its supply lines run up through the floor in exactly the right spot, so we set the tub location early. The arched alcove is framed and finished before the wood panel goes in.

Bathroom Remodel in Los Angeles: Common Questions

How much does a spa-style bathroom remodel cost in Los Angeles?

A tub, a separate shower, and custom details like an arched alcove all affect the price. Our bathroom remodel cost guide explains typical LA ranges.

Can I fit both a freestanding tub and a walk-in shower?

In many bathrooms, yes, if the layout is planned well. Our article on bathroom layout mistakes covers clearances and placement.

Is fluted wood a good idea in a bathroom?

It works when it is sealed properly and kept away from direct shower spray. Here it sits behind the tub and on the vanity, where splashes are light.

What does a smart toilet add?

Features often include a heated seat, a built-in bidet, and an auto-closing lid. It needs an outlet nearby, which is simple to add during a remodel.

Do I need permits for a bathroom remodel in Los Angeles?

Usually yes if plumbing, electrical, or framing changes, like moving a tub or adding an alcove. We handle drawings, submittals, and inspections.

How long does a bathroom remodel with a new tub take?

Most take several weeks after demo, plus design and permit time. Custom glass and specialty panels can add a little to the schedule, and we plan for that up front.
