Bathroom Design in South Haven

A bathroom with a light blue double vanity, a toilet, a walk-in shower with subway tiles, and a large mirror with vanity lights.

Our Bath Design service creates detailed plans for new or renovated bathrooms. We design the layout, select all materials, and document the construction details for your contractor.

What we do

Our process begins with a design consultation to understand your goals for the space. We then present your design, including floor plans and elevations. Construction documents detail the plumbing locations and electrical needs. Material selections cover everything from tile and fixtures to lighting and paint colors. We conduct jobsite inspections to ensure the design is built as intended, and we assist with finishing touches like accessories.

Who it suits

This service is for homeowners in Chicago, Southwest Michigan, and Atlanta. It suits renovations of existing bathrooms in historic homes or new construction primary bathrooms, guest bathrooms, and powder rooms.

Homes in South Haven

In South Haven, many homes are 1920s and 1930s cottages near Lake Michigan, often with small, enclosed kitchens that we reconfigure for open-plan living. The subdivisions off Blue Star Highway, like those in the South Haven Shores area, feature 1970s and 1980s ranch and two-story homes, where we often update primary bathrooms with outdated finishes. We provide interior architectural design to address structural changes for layouts and select new finishes and furnishings for these spaces.

About the studio

Two sisters, one studio

Jennifer Peterson founded J. Peterson Design in 2008 and leads our work in Chicago and Southwest Michigan. Her sister, Jill Kearns, leads the Atlanta studio. Together, we design homes that feel considered and beautiful, but also comfortable, functional, and personal to the people who live in them.

Although we work in different cities, we operate as one studio. We talk through plans, share ideas, question each other, and bring another experienced set of eyes to the decisions that matter. Being sisters makes that collaboration especially natural — there is a shorthand, an honesty, and a shared standard that has been there long before the studio.
