Welcome to Justus Bath, your premier local specialist for custom bathroom renovations in Oklahoma City’s historic Paseo Arts District. Developed in 1929 as OKC’s first commercial shopping district north of downtown, the Paseo is famous for its vibrant stucco buildings, clay tile roofs, Spanish Revival architecture, and winding, gallery-lined streets. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this eclectic neighborhood demands a thoughtful approach to home renovation—one that honors historic architectural character while introducing modern luxury.
At Justus Bath, we transform cramped, aging, or outdated bathrooms into stunning, spa-like retreats tailored to the artistic spirit of the Paseo. Whether you own a 1920s Spanish Revival home, a Craftsman bungalow, or a creative live/work studio, our master craftsmen deliver flawless design, precision waterproofing, and custom tile installation tailored to your lifestyle.
Artisan Bathroom Renovations Built for Paseo Homes
Homes surrounding the Paseo curves feature distinct architectural elements—arched doorways, textured stucco, terracotta accents, and compact interior floor plans typical of early 20th-century construction. Standard, cookie-cutter bathroom designs simply do not suit the artistic soul of a Paseo property.
Justus Bath offers tailored renovation solutions engineered specifically to address the structural realities and aesthetic charm of historic Paseo residences.

Inspired by the Paseo’s Artistic Energy & Historic Landmarks
Living in the Paseo Arts District means immersing yourself in a creative, walkable neighborhood where art, culinary culture, and history intersect daily. You might spend a sunny morning grabbing scratch-made vegan donuts at Holey Rollers or fresh espresso at 30th Street Market, browse hand-crafted jewelry and local books at JW Jewelry & Home or Literati Press Comics & Novels, and explore artwork across more than 20 local galleries during the monthly First Friday Gallery Walk.
In the afternoon or evening, you can enjoy elevated Southwestern flavors at FRIDA Southwest, dine inside an artsy institution like Picasso Cafe, grab artisan street tacos at OSO on Paseo, or savor authentic steaming noodles at Gorō Ramen. Afterward, catch a live theatrical performance by Oklahoma Shakespeare or sip tropical craft cocktails at Flamingo TIKI.
Our design philosophy draws direct inspiration from this artistic atmosphere:
- Spanish Revival & Mediterranean Elegance: Incorporating warm terracotta floor tiles, hand-painted ceramic accents, matte black wrought-iron hardware, and gentle arched shower openings.
- Modern Bohemian Sanctuaries: Pairing natural wood vanities with glossy Zellige wall tiles, vessel sinks, and brushed gold fixtures that reflect the district’s bohemian heritage.
- Compact Luxury Powder Rooms: Maximizing smaller powder rooms with wall-hung toilets, statement wallpaper, and custom floating vanities that leave a bold visual impression.
