[This bath is in the designer’s own home.] We wanted to update an outdated guest bathroom to compliment the rest of the recently remodeled house. We wanted to add some texture and warmth to the space as well as an industrial look.

The sink was repurposed from another project. The previous tub was shallow and not comfortable for soaking, so we wanted a deeper tub. We also wanted to add interest and depth by using different textures and patterns and staying with a monochromatic color scheme.

The trough sink was a real find and we loved it on sight, but it was also a challenge because we wanted a furniture vanity rather than hanging it on the wall. The trough sink didn’t provide any countertop space, so we designed a niche behind the sink for surface area/storage. The existing bath had a dated mirrored medicine cabinet we removed but, again, we needed the storage so another niche was designed to match the sink niche, wrapped in the same wood as the vanity with a mosaic tile at the back. It worked out perfectly for an electric toothbrush, so the outlet was relocated to power the toothbrush and anything else. The pattern background was challenging to lay out to make it symmetrical and fit the space aesthetically.

The result is very rewarding and fun! We are in love with the different patterns and dimensions of the tile. The cool gray tone and white bring it all together. The warm wood tones at the vanity and niches add a welcoming touch to the space. The matte black plumbing fixtures, mirror and pendant lighting really tie everything together and give it that industrial and modern look.
