In order to stay within the budget, we looked at which existing elements could remain and be enhanced, including the footprint, flooring, sinks, and vanity lights. In order to give the clients their cozy retreat instead of a hard, over-sized bathroom, we selected rich stunning materials, including a simple yet elegant stone mosaic listell, travertine subway tiles and a warm caramel-toned travertine countertop. Soft texture was added to the walls to create an intimate feeling within the space. A faux finisher was brought in to make the existing white cabinets look like beautifully stained wood. By placing the lighting on dimmer switches, the mood of the bathroom is able to be controlled at any time. In order to have relaxing water experiences, the couple tested several bathtubs before finally selecting the air-jet soaker and I thoroughly researched the best shower systems and selected a Hans Grohe system.
