When Mia and Aaron set out to renovate their primary bathroom in Blackhawk, they had two goals:
Make it beautiful
Make it functional
Spoiler: they nailed the first—but stumbled a bit on the second. And that’s exactly why I’m sharing this story.
If you’re considering bathroom remodeling in Blackhawk, their journey might save you from the same missteps.


What They Got Right: A Visual Dream
Let’s start with the wins, because there were plenty.
The couple curated a stunning palette—cool greys, crisp whites, soft wood tones.
They used ELEMENTS-style panels on their floating vanity, with fluted textures that added warmth and interest.
A freestanding tub, matte black fixtures, skylight lighting… the space looked incredible.
Mia even layered in woven baskets and linen textures for a relaxed, spa-like vibe. Totally on point with current home design trends.
Where It Fell Short: Real-Life Flow
But form without function? That’s where it got tricky.
The beautiful walk-in shower had no ledge or niche for products.
The stunning wall-mounted faucet looked great but was hard to adjust mid-wash.
And the matte black floor tile? Gorgeous… but slippery when wet.
“We didn’t think about the living part,” Aaron admitted. “Only the looking part.”
They also wished they’d added more built-in storage. Towels, skincare, even hair tools—everything needed a home, and their sleek setup didn’t offer many.





The Lesson: Design for Life, Not Just Photos
Your remodel should look great—but it should also work for you every single day.
Luckily, Blackhawk is full of designers and pros who get it. And if you’re planning a renovation, bring both style and lifestyle into your vision. Mix in modern home decor and smart layout decisions.
Because when it comes to bathrooms, beauty fades fast if the space isn’t functional.
