Master Bathroom Remodel — Walk-In Shower, Tile & Vanity Update

Watch the Complete Transformation

See this Ahwatukee master bathroom transform into a spa-like retreat. This video showcases the spacious walk-in shower with drying area, dual shower functions, custom niches, bench seating, and the elegant vanity upgrade with quartz countertops and brushed nickel finishes.

Project Overview

This master bathroom in Ahwatukee, Arizona received a complete Mustache Approved makeover—delivering a spa-like retreat without replacing the existing flooring. Our goal was elevating style, improving functionality, and creating a relaxing daily escape that serves both homeowners beautifully for years to come.

We redesigned the shower area for comfort and everyday luxury, creating a spacious walk-in shower with a dedicated drying area that provides comfortable space outside the direct spray zone. A built-in bench seat offers relaxation and practical convenience, while multiple shower functions designed for two users enable simultaneous showering without compromising water pressure or temperature control—a feature couples particularly appreciate in busy morning routines.

The shower includes an oversized niche with a sleek glass shelf for organized storage, along with a custom foot niche positioned at the perfect height for leg-shaving convenience. These thoughtful details demonstrate how custom features tailored to actual use patterns create genuinely better bathrooms compared to standard builder-grade installations.

For the vanity area, we installed a fresh upgrade featuring a white quartz countertop with soft gray veining that adds subtle visual interest while maintaining bright, clean appearance. Matching brushed nickel mirrors, lights, and accessories create coordinated elegance, while beautiful 8-inch widespread faucets deliver high-end designer styling. The result is a bright, modern, and functional bathroom that blends everyday usability with spa-inspired comfort—proof that thoughtful upgrades can make huge impact.

Why This Design Works for Ahwatukee Master Bathrooms

Dual shower functions designed for simultaneous use represent one of the most appreciated upgrades in master bathroom remodels. While many couples have learned to work around single shower heads through years of coordinated scheduling, experiencing the convenience of showering together without temperature fights or water pressure drops often becomes a favorite feature homeowners wish they’d added years earlier. The plumbing investment pays daily dividends in morning efficiency and evening relaxation.

The custom foot niche demonstrates attention to actual use patterns that separates thoughtful design from generic installations. Positioned at shin height rather than shoulder height like standard niches, this specialized shelf provides the perfect spot for propping feet during leg shaving—eliminating the awkward balancing act many perform in standard showers. This type of user-centered design thinking creates bathrooms that genuinely work better for how people actually live.

Preserving existing flooring while upgrading everything else represents smart budget allocation when flooring remains in good condition and complements the design direction. Rather than spending on unnecessary flooring replacement, those funds can enhance shower features, upgrade fixture quality, or add custom elements like dual shower heads and specialty niches. This strategic approach delivers more bathroom value per dollar invested.

The oversized niche with glass shelf solves common shower storage challenges elegantly. Standard builder niches often prove too small for couples’ combined products, leading to floor clutter or multiple shower caddies. An oversized niche with a glass shelf (rather than tile shelf that can collect soap scum) provides organized, accessible storage while maintaining the clean aesthetics that make the shower feel spa-like rather than cluttered.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are dual shower functions and are they worth it?

Dual shower functions (also called dual shower heads) provide separate shower heads with independent controls, allowing two people to shower simultaneously with their own temperature and pressure settings. Benefits include morning time efficiency for couples, luxury spa-like experience, independent user preferences, and genuine daily convenience. Most couples who add dual functions consider them essential rather than luxury once experienced.

What is a foot niche and should I include one?

A foot niche is a specialized shower shelf positioned at shin height (typically 8-12 inches off the floor) specifically for propping feet during leg shaving or foot care. Benefits include safer, more comfortable leg shaving (no balancing required), dedicated space for razors and shaving products, practical daily convenience, and minimal cost to add during construction. Particularly valuable for anyone who shaves legs in the shower.

Should I use a glass shelf or tile shelf in my shower niche?

Glass shelves in shower niches offer several advantages: easier cleaning (soap doesn’t stick to glass like tile), no grout lines to maintain, sleek modern appearance, and visual lightness. Tile shelves provide more traditional look and slightly lower cost but require grout maintenance and can accumulate soap scum in grout lines. For modern, low-maintenance design, glass shelves are superior.

Can I remodel my master bathroom without replacing the flooring?

Yes! If your existing flooring is in good condition and complements your design direction, preserving it allows budget to focus on higher-impact upgrades like luxury shower features, premium fixtures, custom cabinetry, or specialty elements. This strategic scope delivers comprehensive visual transformation while working efficiently within budget. Just ensure flooring is protected during construction.
