Bathroom Design in Columbus and Central Ohio

A bathroom remodel goes smoother, and costs less to change your mind about, when the layout, fixtures, and finishes are planned before anyone picks up a tool. Transit & Flow Group’s design team works through your space, your habits, and your style so the construction crew is building toward a plan you already love. Build a preliminary online estimate, or call (614) 382-0000 to start a design consultation.

Is this what you’re seeing?

• Planning a full bathroom renovation and wanting a clear layout before construction begins
• Deciding between a tub, a shower, or a tub-shower combo and unsure what fits your space and household
• Outdated tile, vanity, or fixtures that no longer match how you actually want the room to feel
• A small or awkward layout that feels cramped or wastes usable space
• A project that’s really about the shower specifically, in which case our narrower Shower Design page may be the better starting point
• Needing a new vanity or bathroom storage cabinetry as part of the plan, which our Cabinet Design page focuses on in more depth
• More than one bathroom in the home, each with different needs, users, and budgets

Honest pricing

Bathroom design is a consultation-based service, so pricing depends on the size of the room, how much of the layout is changing, and how many rounds of revisions and material selections are involved. As general market context, not a Transit & Flow quote, Angi’s 2025 bathroom design cost data cites professional design rates of roughly $50 to $250 per hour, with full design packages averaging around $8,000 and ranging from about $3,000 to $12,000 depending on complexity, plus initial consultation or first-meeting fees in the $100 to $500 range. Our Design Journey walks you through layout, fixture, and style priorities to build a preliminary online estimate, or you can start with a conversation if you’d rather talk through options first. Final scope and price subject to verification once our design team assesses your space and goals.

Why this matters for Central Ohio households

A lot of Central Ohio’s housing stock, especially in neighborhoods like Bexley, Upper Arlington, Worthington, and Clintonville, was built with smaller, more compartmentalized bathrooms than what most households want today. Reworking one of these rooms well usually means rethinking the whole layout rather than just swapping finishes, which is exactly the kind of planning that pays off before demolition starts, not after. Central Ohio’s renovation market has stayed active for years, and a lot of that activity is bathrooms, since they’re one of the rooms homeowners touch most often and notice most quickly when the layout doesn’t work. Getting the design right first also helps avoid the change orders and mid-project surprises that tend to happen when a layout gets decided on the fly.
