Ellensburg sits at the heart of Central Washington — a college town, agricultural hub, and growing destination with a housing market that increasingly attracts buyers who want quality finishes and thoughtful design. D. Marie Interiors brings professional bathroom remodel design to Ellensburg homeowners, whether you’re renovating an older Craftsman near downtown, updating a newer build on the outskirts, or modernizing a rental property near Central Washington University.
From a single bathroom refresh to a complete primary suite renovation, we design spaces that work as hard as Ellensburg homeowners do — and look great doing it.
Ellensburg Bathroom Remodel Services
Shower and Tub Design
We design showers and tub surrounds that function beautifully in Ellensburg’s climate — easy to maintain in winter, comfortable through hot Central Washington summers. Walk-in showers with large-format tile, freestanding soaking tubs for primary suite renovations, and combination tub/shower setups that work for families — we match the solution to your lifestyle and the space. The National Kitchen and Bath Association provides widely accepted clearance and layout standards that inform our planning process.
Vanity Design and Storage
In Ellensburg homes, bathroom vanities need to work practically — adequate counter space, functional storage, and finishes that hold up to daily use. We help you select from single or double vanity configurations, choose the right depth for your floor plan, and coordinate cabinet style and finish with the rest of the bathroom’s design direction. Built-in storage is a priority in older Ellensburg homes where bathrooms were often designed without enough room for daily essentials.
Tile Selection and Layout
Tile choices define a bathroom’s character. In Ellensburg, we often recommend larger-format porcelain for floors and walls — fewer grout joints to maintain, and a cleaner contemporary look that photographs well and holds its appeal over time. For homeowners who prefer a more traditional or artisan look, we work with handmade ceramic tile, patterned cement tile for accents, and classic subway formats in updated profiles and sizes. Every selection we recommend considers ease of cleaning and long-term durability alongside visual impact.
Fixture and Hardware Selection
Fixtures tell the story of a bathroom’s design intent. We coordinate faucets, showerheads, towel bars, toilet paper holders, and light fixtures into a unified finish palette — matte black, brushed nickel, polished chrome, or warm brass — so the room feels resolved rather than assembled. Our approach to fixture coordination extends to the full interior design work we do in Ellensburg for clients who want a cohesive look throughout the home.
Primary Suite Bathroom Renovation
A primary suite bathroom renovation is one of the highest-ROI projects an Ellensburg homeowner can undertake. We design primary baths with dedicated zones — separate vanities where space allows, walk-in showers with upgraded fixtures, soaking tubs as a focal feature when the footprint supports it. Layout, lighting, and storage are all addressed as an integrated system rather than individual decisions.
Contractor Coordination and Project Management
We provide complete bathroom design specifications — tile selections with quantities, fixture schedules, hardware finish schedules, plumbing layout drawings — that your contractor can use to bid and execute the project accurately. We can also recommend reliable contractors working in the Ellensburg market. For clients who prefer a fully managed process, we coordinate directly with your contractor through design and construction.

We serve Ellensburg and the surrounding Kittitas Valley, including Cle Elum, Yakima, and communities throughout the corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a bathroom remodel cost in Ellensburg, WA?
A cosmetic bathroom update in Ellensburg typically costs $5,000–$12,000. A full bathroom remodel with new tile, vanity, and shower runs $18,000–$40,000. A primary suite renovation with quality materials and layout changes can run $40,000–$65,000. We’re direct about costs from the start so you can make informed decisions about scope.
What’s the difference between a bathroom refresh and a full remodel?
A refresh typically means updating finishes without moving plumbing — new tile, vanity, fixtures, lighting, and paint. A full remodel may involve reconfiguring the layout, moving plumbing, adding square footage, or replacing the tub with a walk-in shower. We help you identify which approach makes sense for your goals and budget.
Do you work with contractors in Ellensburg?
Yes — we work with your chosen contractor or can recommend reliable tradespeople in the Kittitas Valley area. We provide a complete specification package that gives contractors everything they need to price and execute the project accurately, which reduces scope creep and change orders during construction.
How do I start a bathroom remodel project with D. Marie Interiors?
Start with a free consultation. We’ll visit your home, assess the space, and discuss your goals, timeline, and budget. From there we scope the project, develop a design direction, and build out specifications. You choose how involved you want us throughout the construction phase.
Can a bathroom remodel increase my home’s value in Ellensburg?
Yes. The Ellensburg real estate market responds well to updated bathrooms, particularly in homes that still have original fixtures and tile. A well-executed bathroom remodel consistently ranks among the higher-ROI home improvement projects, especially when the design is timeless rather than trend-driven. We design for longevity, not the moment.
