Ahwatukee Full Bathroom Renovation
📍 Location: Ahwatukee, Arizona
🏠 Project Type: Master Bathroom – Complete Custom Remodel
⏱️ Timeline: 4 – 5 weeks
📅 Completed: 2024
Project Overview
This Ahwatukee, Arizona master bathroom received a complete top-to-bottom remodel—combining timeless materials with modern design for a luxurious, spa-inspired feel. Our Mustache Approved Remodeling team upgraded every detail to enhance functionality, beauty, and long-term value, creating a master retreat that serves the homeowners beautifully for daily use and relaxation.
We completed a full master bathroom remodel with custom tile work and modern finishes throughout. This comprehensive approach ensures all elements work together intentionally—from the tile patterns to the cabinetry design to the flooring—creating cohesive aesthetics that define professional renovations. Every material was selected and installed to complement the others, resulting in unified design rather than disconnected updates.
In the shower, we installed 12×24 large-format tile with a playful patterned accent wall for visual interest. The large-format tile on the main shower walls provides clean, contemporary appearance with minimal grout lines, while the patterned accent wall adds personality and design sophistication. This balance between simple field tile and decorative accent demonstrates thoughtful design restraint—creating interest without overwhelming the space.
The vanity area features a countertop cabinet design with a custom upper cabinet that provides additional storage and architectural character. This stacked cabinet approach maximizes vertical space utilization while creating furniture-quality appearance. The upper cabinet adds significant storage capacity without consuming floor space, solving the common master bathroom challenge of insufficient cabinet storage while bringing custom-built visual impact.
Throughout the bathroom, we upgraded to 24×24 large-format porcelain tile flooring for a seamless, open look. The extra-large tile format (bigger than the standard 12×24) creates even fewer grout lines and more continuous floor surface, making the bathroom feel more spacious while simplifying cleaning. We completed the transformation with a fresh coat of paint to brighten the space and pull the entire design together, ensuring walls complement rather than compete with the beautiful tile work.
The finished bathroom blends contemporary sophistication with functional craftsmanship—creating a warm, inviting retreat that’s 100% Mustache Approved.

Why This Design Works for Ahwatukee Master Bathrooms
Custom upper cabinets above vanities represent sophisticated space planning that addresses real storage challenges in master bathrooms. While standard vanities provide base storage, vertical wall space above countertops often goes unused or gets filled with medicine cabinets that offer minimal capacity. Custom upper cabinets maximize this valuable real estate, providing substantial storage for towels, toiletries, and supplies while creating furniture-quality appearance that elevates the entire vanity area beyond builder-grade installations.
Patterned accent walls in showers demonstrate design restraint that separates sophisticated bathrooms from over-decorated spaces. Rather than covering all shower walls in busy patterns (which can feel overwhelming), using patterned tile on one focal wall creates visual interest while maintaining calming simplicity on remaining surfaces. This approach—pattern on one wall, simple tile on others—delivers personality without chaos, interest without overwhelm.
The jump from 12×24 to 24×24 floor tile represents the cutting edge of contemporary bathroom design. While 12×24 became popular for its large format and minimal grout lines, 24×24 takes those benefits further—even fewer grout lines, even more seamless appearance, even easier cleaning. The extra-large format creates luxurious, high-end feel while delivering practical maintenance advantages. This represents where bathroom flooring design is heading.
Complete top-to-bottom remodels that include painting ensure cohesive final results. When you invest in beautiful tile work but leave dated wall paint, the old paint color emphasizes rather than complements the new tile. Fresh paint in coordinated colors pulls the entire design together, creating the polished appearance that defines quality renovations. This finishing detail matters—it’s the difference between good bathroom remodels and great ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a countertop cabinet vanity design?
Countertop cabinet vanity design features stacked cabinetry—standard base vanity with countertop plus upper cabinet above for additional storage. Benefits include maximizes vertical space utilization, provides substantial storage capacity, creates furniture-quality architectural character, and delivers custom-built appearance. Unlike medicine cabinets with limited capacity, full upper cabinets offer meaningful storage for towels, toiletries, and supplies while adding sophisticated visual impact.
Should I use patterned tile on all shower walls?
Generally no—patterned tile works best as accent on one focal wall while other walls use simple field tile. Benefits of this approach include creates visual interest without overwhelming, maintains calming simplicity on most surfaces, balances personality with restraint, and costs less (pattern tile typically more expensive). Using pattern throughout can feel chaotic. Design principle: pattern on one wall, simple on others.
Is 24×24 tile better than 12×24 for bathroom floors?
For larger master bathrooms, 24×24 tile offers advantages: even fewer grout lines (easier cleaning), more seamless continuous appearance, more luxurious high-end feel, and represents cutting-edge contemporary design. However, 24×24 requires larger bathrooms to accommodate full tiles without excessive cutting. In compact bathrooms, 12×24 works better. Professional installers can recommend appropriate size based on your bathroom dimensions.
Should I repaint when remodeling my bathroom?
Yes! Fresh paint completes bathroom remodels by pulling design together with coordinated colors, brightening space to complement new finishes, covering dated wall colors that clash with new tile, and providing polished final appearance. The relatively modest cost of painting delivers significant visual impact when coordinated with new tile, fixtures, and cabinetry. Skip painting and even beautiful tile can look disconnected from dingy walls.
