Wood is the secret to this Zen-inspired bathroom's success. The design and the client loved the unique and organic countertop shape. The decor is minimal, the lighting feels ambient, the stones and water in the simple classic vessel echo a zen fountain. How peaceful would your friends feel in this bathroom? The style feels effortless and offers a respite in a private space.

The reconfiguration of the master bathroom opened up the space by pairing a platform shower with a freestanding tub. The open shower, wall-hung vanity, and wall-hung water closet create continuous flooring and an expansive feeling. The result is a welcoming space with a calming aesthetic.

Original bath tub and white tile was left - a single row was removed to allow for the deco tile to be installed to match the updated backsplash and deco around the custom vanity. New Aquabrass fixtures were installed to give the charming tub shower a subtle update for aesthetics and functionality. TJ, Virtuance
