The Alder Spa Retreat

About This Project

This primary bathroom remodel was designed as a warm, spa-inspired retreat combining natural materials with modern comfort and technology. The scope includes a custom tile steam shower, spa-style bathtub, toilet, alder wood cabinetry, integrated lighting, and Bluetooth audio.

The Goal

Create a relaxing, high-end bathroom that feels like a private spa while remaining comfortable, functional, and practical for everyday use.

The Transformation

• The completed space brings together a custom tile steam shower with Bluetooth audio and a lighted shower niche.
• A spa-style bathtub, new toilet, and alder wood cabinetry create a cohesive, warm retreat.

Details That Made the Difference

• The illuminated shower niche adds functional accent lighting, while the steam system and Bluetooth connectivity enhance the spa experience.
• Alder cabinetry adds natural warmth and character alongside the clean tile and fixture finishes.

Challenges

Coordinating waterproofing, tile, steam components, electrical for the niche lighting, Bluetooth features, plumbing fixtures, cabinetry, and the bathtub required careful planning so every system could be integrated cleanly.

Solution

ELM Home Services coordinated the layout, rough-ins, waterproofing, electrical, tile, cabinetry, fixtures, and specialty shower features, allowing the finished elements to work together as a unified bathroom.
