A homeowner’s joyful and sunny disposition was the inspiration for this primary bathroom design in Modesto, California. Interior designers Wendy Glaister and Stephanie Poulsen redesigned the primary bedroom in the 1970s ranch house first, while the adjoining bathroom was a later renovation phase. “The bedroom had been really depressing, so we went with a color palette of sunny yellows, white and gray,” Glaister says. When it came time to renovate the bathroom, the homeowners were fully on board with continuing the playful color combination into the en suite bath.

Before: The primary bedroom had been depressing, and its en suite bathroom was even worse. “It had this giant tub with only a shower wand in it — it was very impractical,” Glaister says. “And it was dated and dark, had terrible storage and was a little moldy.”
