This elegant shower creates a serene and sophisticated bathing experience. The walls are beautifully clad in white subway tiles laid in a classic herringbone pattern, adding subtle texture and visual interest. Matte gold fixtures, including the shower head and control, provide a luxurious contrast against the light tiling. A sleek black handle on the clear glass door adds a contemporary touch, while integrated corner shelves offer convenient storage.

In the primary Bedroom, a layered approach to the custom window treatment offered privacy day and night, and light control. A serene blue-gray was selected for the walls, and a hummingbird print for the windows. The client's preference for simplicity meant that we used a variation of an inverted pleat valance here as well, adding contrast color to the pleats, spiral tails to the valance ends, and a solid room darkening drapery panel with a banded hem. Art placement was another aspect of this Chevy Chase MD condo refresh. Photography by Bob Narod, Photographer, LLC.

Northern Michigan is the ultimate getaway destination with serene views and abundance of outdoor recreation. This remote Up North house offers nothing short of that. With the nearest major town almost 45 minutes away, it was essential this vacation home offered all the amenities for entertainment and relaxation. Spire worked with the client to create the perfect lake house retreat with comfort and convenience during any season or weather. The living room with an attached game room is a versatile space that offers endless entertainment. A 65” TV was installed over the fireplace in the custom stone wall. The adjustable mount allows the TV to lower for comfortable viewing from either the couch or pool table. A pair of Meridian Audio DSP7200 custom color matched speakers equipped with a Meridian Audio 218 digital controller were strategically installed on each side of the fireplace. The floor-standing speakers compliment the natural stone while providing astonishingly life-like sound, perfect for streaming live concerts. The powerful audio extends to the upper level of the home. Spire installed B&W 700 series bookshelf speakers in the executive office and a Triad custom speaker bar in the master bedroom. These speakers are ideal for smaller rooms, while elevating the TV experience. The large living room windows offer beautiful lake views and ample lighting. Lutron Palladiom shades were installed to easily control the natural light in the living room, master bedroom and bathroom. They are custom designed and fully automated to let in the morning sun or achieve partial shading or complete privacy. Whether set on a schedule or controlled from an iPad, the shades operate quietly and seamlessly. The technology was designed to be enjoyed just as much indoors as outdoors. With the whole home audio system, high-quality sound can flow throughout the indoor rooms as well as the outdoor patio. While the location may be remote, Spire ensured the WiFi and network connection is strong both throughout the yard and inside the home. A Lutron HomeWorks QS system integrates the control of all the interior and exterior lighting including motion sensing for the exterior pathway. Since this is not a permanent residence, a control and security system was very important. A personalized Savant system was integrated for full home control of lighting, climate, entertainment and security from anywhere with a smart device . This includes the ability to control the multiple landscape light zones with timed scenes. The Doorbird cameras and chimes with the integration of camera feeds into the Savant Control provides remote communication with visitors at any of the exterior doors. Remote access also allows rebooting of all essential systems from any location.

In Katy, Texas, Tradition Outdoor Living designed an outdoor living space, transforming the average backyard into a Texas Ranch-style retreat. Entering this outdoor addition, the scene boasts Texan Ranch with custom made cedar Barn-style doors creatively encasing the recessed TV above the fireplace. Maintaining the appeal of the doors, the fireplace cedar mantel is adorned with accent rustic hardware. The 60” electric fireplace, remote controlled with LED lights, flickers warm colors for a serene evening on the patio. An extended hearth continues along the perimeter of living room, creating bench seating for all. This combination of Rustic Taloka stack stone, from the fireplace and columns, and the polished Verano stone, capping the hearth and columns, perfectly pairs together enhancing the feel of this outdoor living room. The cedar-trimmed coffered beams in the tongue and groove ceiling and the wood planked stamped concrete make this space even more unique! In the large Outdoor Kitchen, beautifully polished New Venetian Gold granite countertops allow the chef plenty of space for serving food and chatting with guests at the bar. The stainless steel appliances sparkle in the evening while the custom, color-changing LED lighting glows underneath the kitchen granite. In the cooler months, this outdoor space is wired for electric radiant heat. And if anyone is up for a night of camping at the ranch, this outdoor living space is ready and complete with an outdoor bathroom addition! Photo Credit: Jennifer Sue Photography

Just like a fading movie star, this master bathroom had lost its glamorous luster and was in dire need of new look. Gone are the old "Hollywood style make up lights and black vanity" replaced with freestanding vanity furniture and mirrors framed by crystal tipped sconces. A soft and serene gray and white color scheme creates Thymeless elegance with subtle colors and materials. Urban gray vanities with Carrara marble tops float against a tiled wall of large format subway tile with a darker gray porcelain “marble” tile accent. Recessed medicine cabinets provide extra storage for this “his and hers” design. A lowered dressing table and adjustable mirror provides seating for “hair and makeup” matters. A fun and furry poof brings a funky edge to the space designed for a young couple looking for design flair. The angular design of the Brizo faucet collection continues the transitional feel of the space. The freestanding tub by Oceania features a slim design detail which compliments the design theme of elegance. The tub filler was placed in a raised platform perfect for accessories or the occasional bottle of champagne. The tub space is defined by a mosaic tile which is the companion tile to the main floor tile. The detail is repeated on the shower floor. The oversized shower features a large bench seat, rain head shower, handheld multifunction shower head, temperature and pressure balanced shower controls and recessed niche to tuck bottles out of sight. The 2-sided glass enclosure enlarges the feel of both the shower and the entire bathroom.

This master bath went from drab to high tech! We took our client's love for the view of the lake behind his home and turned it into a space where the outside could be let in and where the privacy won't be let out. We re configured the space and made a full wet room with large open shower and luxury tub. The vanities were demolished and a floating vanity from Canyon Creek Cabinets was installed. Soothing Waterworks Statuary white marble adorns the walls. A Schluter tileable kerdi drain and A Kohler DTV controls the shower with dual rainshower heads, the Kohler Numi commode does it all by remote as well as the remote controlled electrified glass that frosts and unfrosts at the touch of a button! This bath is as gorgeous as it is serene and functional! In the Entry, we added the same electrified glass into a custom built front door for this home. This new double door now is clear when our homeowner wants to see out and frosted when he doesn't! Design/Remodel by Hatfield Builders & Remodelers | Photography by Versatile Imaging

In this Bethany Beach home overlooking the ocean, we focused on creating custom window treatments that seamlessly blend functionality with aesthetics. Every design emphasizes preserving the stunning coastal views while effectively taming the intense sunlight that floods the space. For the large window wall and arch window that serve as focal points, we opted for lightweight, sheer fabrics that offer privacy and light control without obstructing the ocean view. Automated roller shades, that disappear into their unobtrusive headrails, provide versatility for those sun-soaked afternoons, allowing homeowners to enjoy both the natural light and breathtaking scenery. Woven Wood Shades in many of the rooms add a warm, natural layer as well as privacy and light dimming for sleeping. The overall palette created by Interior Designers at Purple Cherry Architects reflects the serene coastal setting, incorporating soft blues and sandy neutrals to enhance this home’s tranquil ambiance.

Nestled in the mountains of Aspen, Colorado, this 15,000-square-foot mountain modern residence blends contemporary architecture with the natural beauty of its alpine surroundings. The architectural lighting design was carefully crafted to complement expansive glass walls, exposed timber, natural stone, and custom interior finishes while creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home. Layered illumination combines discreet recessed fixtures, concealed linear lighting, decorative luminaires, and exterior architectural lighting to emphasize the home's clean lines and dramatic volumes. Carefully controlled lighting scenes transition seamlessly from daytime living to evening entertaining, enhancing comfort while preserving views of the surrounding landscape. Every lighting element was thoughtfully integrated with the architecture and interior design to deliver a timeless, sophisticated experience that reflects the luxury and serenity of mountain living.

The image depicts a modern bathroom shower area with a sleek and minimalist design. The shower is enclosed by a clear glass panel, featuring a rainfall showerhead and a black control valve mounted on the wall.

A built-in shelf within the shower holds a few toiletries, including a bottle and a container, maintaining the clutter-free aesthetic. The overall design is contemporary, with clean lines, neutral tones, and a focus on natural materials, creating a serene and functional space.
