Bathroom Remodel Cost in Kirkland & Bellevue (2026 Guide)
Bathroom renovation pricing across the Pacific Northwest, and specifically in Kirkland and Bellevue, is not a single number. There is the design investment, and there is the construction budget. Most homeowners plan for one and get surprised by the other. At Ariana Designs & Interiors, we publish our pricing openly so you know exactly what you are looking at before we ever sit down together.

Bathroom Remodel Design Cost at a Glance
- Bathroom Design, Full Scope: $25,000 to $42,000+
- Covers complete design documentation, cabinetry, tile, fixture and hardware selection, trade coordination, and permit-ready drawings as applicable
- Construction and materials are a separate budget, confirmed at your project assessment
- The exact investment within that range depends on six factors covered below
These figures are pulled directly from our pricing page. Nothing is guessed at or estimated over the phone.
Design and Construction Are Two Separate Budgets
Most people searching for “bathroom remodel cost” expect one number. There are two, and they move in parallel.
- Your design investment covers space planning, fixture layout, tile and material selection, full specification documentation, vendor coordination, and permit-ready drawings
- Your construction budget covers contractor labor, trade materials, fixtures, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, and site management
- Your total project investment is both combined
Neither replaces the other. Treating design as an afterthought is where bathrooms go sideways. Undersized showers, misaligned tile patterns, vanity heights that fight the plumbing rough-in — these are all design decisions that cost pennies on paper and thousands mid-renovation.
What the $25,000 to $42,000+ Bathroom Design Investment Covers
Our bathroom interior design services are a full scope engagement from first concept through contractor-ready documentation. Here is what is included.
- Complete bathroom layout and space planning tailored to how you actually use the room, whether that is a primary suite, a guest bath, or a powder room
- Cabinetry, countertop, tile, fixture, and hardware selection with access to trade-only vendors unavailable to the public
- Plumbing fixture specification and vendor coordination handled on your behalf
- Complete material selection across every surface, including waterproofing substrates, natural stone, porcelain, grout, metal finishes, and glass
- Contractor-ready documentation your builder can work directly from
- Permit-ready drawings as applicable to your project
This is not a mood board or a Pinterest review. Every bathroom we design goes through the same full development process, whether it is a focused guest bath refresh or a primary suite gut renovation.
Why the Range Is as Wide as It Is
A powder room or compact guest bath with standard fixtures is a fundamentally different project from a primary suite with a wet room, freestanding tub, curbless entry, heated floors, dual vanities, and custom stonework. Both are treated as full scope engagements. The investment reflects the design hours, documentation layers, and coordination depth each one genuinely requires.
Six Factors That Determine Where Your Project Lands in That Range
- Size of the space: Square footage, ceiling height, and fixture count directly affect documentation depth and hours required
- Design complexity: Curbless showers, wet rooms, custom vanities, and intricate tile patterns take more development time than standard configurations
- Level of customization: Trade-sourced stone, bespoke vanities, and imported fixtures involve more curation and sourcing rounds than off-the-shelf options
- Builder coordination: Active collaboration with your general contractor, plumber, electrician, or structural engineer adds project management scope
- FF&E scope: Lighting, mirror, accessory, and furnishing sourcing through ARIID Home & Furniture adds additional sourcing and presentation time
- Documentation required: Construction drawings, waterproofing details, and permit packages are priced in proportion to project complexity
Why Investing in Bathroom Design Protects Everything That Comes After
Bathrooms are the most detail dense rooms in any home. Water, heat, ventilation, lighting, plumbing, and electrical all converge in a small footprint. A tile layout that ignores the shower niche, a vanity spec that blocks the window swing, a slope that reads wrong at drain: these are inexpensive to catch on paper and very expensive to fix mid-tile installation.
Our studio has earned two National Kitchen and Bath Industry Association (NKBA) Design Competition Awards, the industry’s highest honors for residential design excellence, including recognition for a primary bath we still get asked about. We have also been named among Kirkland’s Best Design Firms. That standard applies to every bathroom we design, not just the ones that earn awards.
Homeowners who try to manage bathroom design decisions independently typically spend more time and money than planned. Bringing in a professional means every decision is made with precision before demo day. The result is a bathroom that gets built once, correctly, and stays beautiful for decades.
How the Process Works, From First Call to Final Install
Every project follows the same four phases. Full detail is on our design process page.
- Initial Consultation: A conversation about your vision, timeline, and scope before any commitment is made
- Project Assessment: We review your bathroom in person and prepare a tailored proposal with a confirmed investment range
- Design Development: Layout, materials, fixtures, tile, and full documentation built with your input at every milestone. Nothing is ordered until you approve
- Installation and Reveal: Coordinated delivery, installation, and final styling by the same team that designed your bathroom. ARIID Build & Remodel manages construction when it is in scope
When you are ready to find out where your bathroom lands in that range, start with a complimentary consultation. See our full pricing page for all service tiers.

A powder room with standard fixtures in a small footprint requires fewer design hours and less documentation than a primary suite with a curbless wet room, freestanding tub, dual vanities, and custom stonework. Both are full scope engagements. The investment reflects what the project actually requires in terms of design development, coordination, and documentation depth.
Yes. Through ARIID Build & Remodel, the same integrated team handles both design and construction. This eliminates the gap that typically forms between what a designer specifies and what a contractor builds, which is one of the most common and costly failure points in any bathroom renovation.
