Cle Elum homeowners expect a lot from their spaces — rooms that handle cold mountain winters, accommodate year-round guests, and look genuinely beautiful doing it. D. Marie Interiors brings design vision and remodeling expertise to bathroom renovation projects across Cle Elum, the upper Kittitas Valley, and surrounding communities.
Whether you’re updating a guest bath at your mountain retreat, renovating a dated primary suite, or doing a full renovation to modernize an older Cle Elum home, we handle design and material specification from start to finish.
Cle Elum Bathroom Remodel Services
Shower Design and Tile Selection
We design showers that fit the Cle Elum lifestyle — functional for post-ski and post-hike mornings, beautiful for weekends when company is staying. Walk-in showers with large-format porcelain tile, steam features for cold mountain mornings, and custom niches that make a shower genuinely useful. Every decision — enclosure type, tile, hardware finish, niche placement — is made thoughtfully so the result feels considered, not assembled. The National Kitchen and Bath Association publishes widely used design standards for shower sizing and safety that inform our specifications.
Vanity and Storage Solutions
Bathroom vanity design must balance aesthetics with practical storage. We help you select vanity sizes, configurations, and styles that fit the space — floating vanities in contemporary applications, furniture-style pieces in transitional mountain homes, and built-in linen and medicine storage that makes a bathroom function for daily use. For Cle Elum homes used seasonally or as vacation rentals, durability and ease of maintenance factor into every selection.
Fixture and Hardware Coordination
Fixtures and hardware establish the room’s design language. Matte black for a clean, contemporary look. Unlacquered brass for a warm, organic finish that ages beautifully. Brushed nickel for a classic transitional space. We help you build a cohesive palette from the start rather than accumulating fixtures from multiple shopping trips with no visual through-line. Our full interior design services extend that coordination across every room in your home.
Heated Floors and Comfort Systems
In Cle Elum, where winter temperatures drop significantly, heated bathroom tile floors are an investment that pays real dividends in daily comfort. We specify in-floor heating as a standard consideration in primary bath renovations, coordinating with your electrician and ensuring the substrate preparation is correct for lasting performance.
Layout and Space Planning
Older Cle Elum homes often have awkward bathroom layouts — fixtures placed where pipes happened to be, not where function demands. We assess layouts at the start of every project and identify whether reconfiguration is worth the cost. Sometimes repositioning a door swing, relocating a toilet out of sightlines, or opening a wall to connect two spaces is the most valuable thing we do in a project. See how this approach applies to full-home Cle Elum interior design.
Material Sourcing and Contractor Coordination
We source materials from trusted suppliers and manage specification so you’re not hunting down tile samples and plumbing fixtures yourself. We coordinate with your general contractor or can connect you with tradespeople who do quality work in the Cle Elum area. Our goal is a complete specification package your contractor can execute correctly the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Cle Elum, WA?
A cosmetic update typically runs $5,000–$15,000. A mid-range full remodel with new tile, vanity, and shower runs $20,000–$45,000. A primary suite renovation with high-end materials and layout changes can run $50,000 or more. We discuss budget openly from the start so there are no surprises mid-project.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
Active construction typically takes 3–6 weeks for a full bathroom remodel. Design, material selection, and contractor scheduling before work begins usually adds 4–8 weeks of lead time. Specialty materials may require longer lead times from Cle Elum — we factor this into project planning upfront.
Do you work on vacation homes and mountain retreats?
Yes — we have significant experience with properties used as both personal retreats and vacation rentals. We select materials that balance luxury aesthetics with the durability demands of high-turnover rental use, planning design decisions with both photography-ready aesthetics and daily maintenance in mind.
Can you manage a remodel while we’re not in the area?
Yes. Many of our Cle Elum clients travel frequently or don’t live here full-time. We manage the design process remotely, make selections within agreed-upon parameters, and keep you informed throughout construction without requiring your on-site presence for every decision.
Do I need permits for a bathroom remodel in Kittitas County?
Permits are required for plumbing relocations, electrical work, and structural changes. Cosmetic updates that don’t move fixtures generally don’t require permits. We help you understand what applies to your specific project and work with contractors who coordinate with local authorities.
