Saint Marks Bathroom Renovation | A ReMARKable Transition
A townhouse renovation presents unique challenges, especially when working within the compact layouts typical of New York City homes. One of the most critical areas of focus during this renovation was the bathroom design—ensuring each space felt open, functional, and luxurious despite its limited size. In the master bathroom, we completely reimagined the layout by expanding the footprint to create a more comfortable and spa-like experience. Floor-to-ceiling porcelain tiles were installed to visually elevate the space and add a clean, seamless look that also enhances durability. A double-size wall-mounted vanity was selected for its sleek design and efficient use of space, offering generous counter surface and storage without overwhelming the room. The spacious stand-up shower features clear glass doors and minimal framing to keep the space feeling open and bright. A smart Kohler bidet toilet adds a touch of modern technology, enhancing both comfort and hygiene. Matte black finishes throughout the bathroom, from the fixtures to the trim details, create a bold contrast against the light-toned tiles, resulting in a clean and contemporary design. In the guest bathroom, the renovation focused on maximizing space while still delivering a stylish and functional layout. Here, a wall-mounted vanity and a wall-mounted toilet create the illusion of more floor space, while making cleaning and maintenance easier. A practical drop-in tub was installed to provide versatility for both bathing and quick showers, ideal for guests or family use. Like the master bath, this bathroom features sleek porcelain tile surfaces and matte black accents that tie the design together with a cohesive aesthetic. The attention to detail continues beyond the bathrooms. As part of the master suite renovation, we designed a custom California closet in a warm gray oak finish. This closet system was tailored to meet the specific storage needs of the homeowners, providing ample space for clothing, shoes, and bulkier items that often clutter smaller city homes. The result is a streamlined, clutter-free bedroom that enhances everyday living. Overall, this townhouse renovation successfully balances luxury with practicality. Both bathrooms now feel significantly more open, efficient, and visually appealing, despite their original compact sizes. Through strategic layout changes, modern fixture selections, and high-quality finishes, we were able to bring both comfort and elegance into each bathroom space. This renovation exemplifies how smart planning and thoughtful design choices can overcome space limitations. Whether it's a master bathroom transformation with tech-forward amenities or a compact guest bathroom with multifunctional features, the project showcases the impact of quality materials and expert craftsmanship. From the expanded master bathroom and stylish guest bathroom, to the custom closet solution, this townhouse renovation is a true example of maximizing space without sacrificing design. Each area was planned with purpose, delivering not only beauty but also long-term value and improved everyday functionality.

Project Client Testimonial:
“My husband and I decided to completely redo our bathrooms and a small bedroom. Problem was we had no idea who to use. After some research we reached out to Star Renovations, and we met with Eli (the owner). We were presented with multiple options for us to choose from, and together we developed our dream plan. Eli was there for meetings with vendors, he never rushed, and he advised well. Ultimately, the project was completed on time and everything looks just perfect. I value most Eli’s professionalism and extreme patience, as together we continued to change and tweak the plans until we were completely satisfied with the layout and design of our new bathroom and bedroom. We would partner with Star Renovations again in the future, there is no doubt about it. We love the final result and recommend this company.”
