Suite planning
Privacy, views, circulation, dressing, closets and the relationship between bedroom and bath.
Interior Design · Bathrooms
Private rooms shaped through light, material and calm.
Luxury bathroom design that brings space planning, fixtures, stone, cabinetry, lighting, waterproofing and construction coordination into one complete interior.
The idea
The quietest room can carry some of the project’s hardest details.
A bathroom is experienced as atmosphere, but delivered through exact coordination. Slopes, waterproofing, glass, tile modules, niches, plumbing, lighting and millwork all meet within a small footprint.
Apel Design treats those technical decisions as part of the design, allowing the finished room to feel effortless rather than assembled.
Knowledge + experience
Precision in service of ease.
Every visible line depends on decisions made behind the surface.
Fixtures + ergonomics
Tubs, showers, vanities, water closets, clearances and controls placed around real use.
Stone + tile
Modules, joints, book-matching, edges, curbs, niches and transitions coordinated before installation.
Water + structure
Waterproofing intent, slopes, drainage, plumbing locations and structural conditions aligned with specialists.
Lighting + mirrors
Task, ambient and night lighting integrated with mirrors, cabinetry, ceilings and controls.
Fabrication + field review
Shop drawings, samples and site conditions reviewed to protect the intended alignment and finish.
Selected work
Restraint, character and exact detail.
Primary suites, powder rooms and guest baths each receive an identity appropriate to their place in the home.
The path
A clear sequence for a detail-intensive room.
Plan
Set the room, views, privacy, circulation, fixtures and relationship to adjacent spaces.
Detail
Develop material modules, cabinetry, mirrors, lighting, glass, niches and transitions.
Coordinate
Align plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, ventilation, structure and specialty fabricators.

Questions
Useful clarity before the first conversation.
Can bathroom design be part of a remodel?
Yes. Apel Design can address a single suite within a larger renovation or coordinate bathrooms throughout a complete residence.
Do you coordinate waterproofing and plumbing?
The design and construction team coordinates the room with the appropriate licensed contractors, consultants and product requirements.
Can you source stone, fixtures and lighting?
Selections and procurement coordination can be incorporated into the interior-design scope based on the needs of the project.
