The Primary Bath That Earned Us An NKBA Award
Some projects quietly change how you think about a room. A small hallway bathroom in a Bellevue home became one of the most meaningful projects our studio has ever completed. It also earned Ariana Adireh Anderson a placement in the 2021 NKBA Design + Industry Awards, one of two national NKBA recognitions our studio holds.
At Ariana Designs & Interiors, we have spent over 25 years designing luxury bathrooms across Bellevue, Kirkland, Mercer Island, and the greater Seattle Eastside. This post walks you through every decision that made this project worth recognizing nationally.

The Project: A Small Hallway Bath in Bellevue
The bathroom that earned national NKBA recognition was not a grand primary suite. It was a small hallway bathroom, under 250 square feet, in a Bellevue home. That context matters. Award winning bathroom design in Seattle is not reserved for sprawling spaces. It is the product of clear thinking, honest material choices, and an unwillingness to treat any room as an afterthought.
The project was recognized in the Contemporary Bath, Small category by a panel of certified design professionals from across North America. Placement at that level reflects the same standard we bring to every project, regardless of scale.

Ariana Adireh Anderson earned placement in the 2021 NKBA Design + Industry Awards in the Contemporary Bath, Small category for a hallway bathroom project in Bellevue, WA. It is one of two national NKBA recognitions the studio holds.
Absolutely. The NKBA recognized project from our studio was under 250 square feet. Luxury bathroom design is defined by the quality of decision making, not the size of the footprint. Ariana Designs & Interiors brings the same standard to compact baths as to full primary suites.
Ariana Designs & Interiors is a nationally recognized studio with two NKBA award placements and over 25 years of experience designing luxury bathrooms across Bellevue, Kirkland, Mercer Island, Medina, Sammamish, and the greater Seattle Eastside.
Our process covers spatial planning, material selection, and cabinetry design through construction coordination and final installation, all handled by the same team via ARIID Build & Remodel. That continuity is what makes the level of craft in our work repeatable across every project.
Ariana Designs & Interiors serves homeowners throughout Bellevue, Northwest Bellevue, Medina, Clyde Hill, Yarrow Point, Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Mercer Island, Issaquah, Newcastle, and the greater Seattle area. Contact us to get started.
