Historic Bathroom Remodeling Approach Guides Delta Remodels' Lake Forest Design-Build Project

Lake Forest, United States - September 19, 2026 / Delta - Bathroom and Kitchen Remodeling /

LAKE FOREST, Ill., September 18, 2026 - Delta Remodels is highlighting a completed primary bathroom remodel in Lake Forest, Illinois, that transformed an outdated bathroom into a brighter, more functional space. The project features a double vanity, updated walk-in shower, modern lighting and coordinated brushed brass finishes throughout - demonstrating what luxury bathroom remodeling Lake Forest homeowners can achieve through a full-scope renovation.

Completed in a Lake Forest home, the project illustrates how a primary bathroom renovation can improve both function and appearance while working within the existing architecture of the residence.

Delta Remodels - Lake Forest Primary Bathroom Remodel and Powder Room

What Changed in This Lake Forest Primary Bathroom Remodel?

The original bathroom offered useful square footage but carried dated finishes and an enclosed wet area that made the room feel heavier and more congested than the space allowed.

Delta Remodels approached the project as a complete bathroom renovation rather than a series of individual finish upgrades. The remodeled bathroom brings the vanity, shower, flooring, lighting and plumbing fixtures together within one consistent design direction.

The finished space includes warm wood cabinetry, light stone surfaces, brushed brass bathroom fixtures and updated lighting. Backlit LED mirrors brighten the vanity area while providing dedicated lighting for daily use.

A Walk-In Shower Replaces the Older Enclosed Wet Area

One of the most significant changes involved the bathroom's shower area.

Before remodeling, the wet area included a tub base, frosted sliding doors and older wall tile. The updated design creates a more open shower area with modern tile, glass and coordinated plumbing fixtures.

Planning the shower as part of the complete bathroom remodel allowed the plumbing, waterproofing, tile and fixtures to be coordinated before final installation.

For homeowners considering a walk-in shower remodel in Lake Forest, the project demonstrates how reconfiguring the wet area can influence the way the entire bathroom looks and functions.

Double Vanity, Backlit Mirrors and Brushed Brass Fixtures

The vanity wall was also fully redesigned.

The original configuration used older cabinetry, a full-width mirror and dated countertop materials. The remodeled bathroom maintains two sink stations while introducing warm wood cabinetry, a lighter countertop and individual backlit LED mirrors above each station.

Brushed brass faucets and coordinating fixtures add warmth against the lighter surfaces. Rather than using brass as a single accent, the finish is repeated across the bathroom to create a deliberate visual connection between the vanity and shower areas.

Key features of the Lake Forest bathroom remodel include:

Double vanity with warm wood cabinetry
Light stone countertop
Backlit LED bathroom mirrors
Brushed brass faucets and fixtures
Updated walk-in shower
Modern shower tile
Coordinated bathroom lighting
Updated flooring and finishes

What Is Included in a Full Primary Bathroom Remodel?

A full primary bathroom remodel can involve considerably more than replacing tile or fixtures. Depending on the existing space and project scope, renovation work may include demolition, plumbing modifications, waterproofing, shower construction, cabinetry, countertops, sinks, faucets, mirrors, lighting, flooring, glass and finish installation.

Delta Remodels uses a design-build approach so these elements can be planned and coordinated as one project rather than handled as separate, unrelated upgrades. This method is also applicable to Historic Bathroom Remodeling projects, where sequencing and coordination between trades is particularly important to protect existing structural elements.
