The owners of a historic house in the Spanish Revival style wanted a grand master bathroom, in line with the authentic character of their home, as a respite from their busy lifestyles.

Considering only one wall with a window and substantial dark cabinetry, bringing natural light into the room was a primary concern. A skylight, plus carefully selected paint and tile colors, help to balance dark and light aspects. A rich mixture of materials, including gleaming Sahara Gold tile and a medallion inlay on the floor, infuse the room with light and color. A freestanding rectangular tub communicates understated elegance. Framed by a graceful arch of artistic hand-painted tiles, the oversized shower is the height of modern luxury.

In keeping with the home’s historic nature, the bathroom’s overall aesthetic is classic, sophisticated and ornate, while also providing the owners with modern conveniences for relaxed everyday living.
