Wicker Park Bathroom Upgrade, IL

This Wicker Park bathroom transformation focused on turning a dated, cramped space into a clean, contemporary retreat—balancing everyday function with elevated design. Malkoc Builders partnered with the homeowner to create a sleek, spa-inspired environment within the footprint of a standard bathroom.

The renovation began with a full tear-out of outdated materials, including aging tile, a bulky bathtub, and insufficient lighting. The layout was reconfigured to enhance flow and maximize usable space. By replacing the tub with a custom walk-in shower, the team created an open, airy feeling while improving accessibility and modern comfort.

Large-format porcelain tiles were installed floor to ceiling, adding texture and visual height to the room. The walk-in shower was enclosed with frameless glass, and finished with matte black hardware and a linear drain for a seamless, minimalist aesthetic. A wall-mounted vanity with a floating design brought a modern edge and kept the space feeling light, while integrated storage drawers ensured everyday functionality.

Lighting was a major focus—recessed ceiling lights, a backlit mirror, and under-vanity LED strips were added to improve visibility and mood. A neutral palette of grays and soft whites kept the space timeless and calming.

The Wicker Park Bathroom Upgrade reflects Malkoc Builders’ commitment to quality craftsmanship and thoughtful details—resulting in a modern, low-maintenance space that feels luxurious without being overdesigned.
