This was a small Principal Bathroom so we maximized the space by installing a curbless shower and keeping the tile small and the same throughout on the main floor. The white tile allows the black plumbing fixtures to stand out and the custom grey vanity is maximized for storage, but allows the floor to show, creating the illusion of more space. A centred standing height niche is perfect for bathroom products in the shower. The tall ceiling height is emphasized by the floor to ceiling, black trimmed shower glass. The black trim is repeated on the custom mirror.

Second view of the principal bedroom — 5-inch wide plank white oak herringbone in a 24th-floor Buckhead high-rise. Atlanta skyline through floor-to-ceiling windows. The herringbone pattern runs continuously from the main living areas through every room in the residence — site-finished in place as one uninterrupted surface. Picture-frame border integrated and sanded flush. Finished with LOBA 2K Duo.

The clients, a young professional couple had lived with this bathroom in their townhome for 6 years. They finally could not take it any longer. The designer was tasked with turning this ugly duckling into a beautiful swan without relocating walls, doors, fittings, or fixtures in this principal bathroom. The client wish list included, better storage, improved lighting, replacing the tub with a shower, and creating a sparkling personality for this uninspired space using any color way except white. The designer began the transformation with the wall tile. Large format rectangular tiles were installed floor to ceiling on the vanity wall and continued behind the toilet and into the shower. The soft variation in tile pattern is very soothing and added to the Zen feeling of the room. One partner is an avid gardener and wanted to bring natural colors into the space. The same tile is used on the floor in a matte finish for slip resistance and in a 2” mosaic of the same tile is used on the shower floor. A lighted tile recess was created across the entire back wall of the shower beautifully illuminating the wall. Recycled glass tiles used in the niche represent the color and shape of leaves. A single glass panel was used in place of a traditional shower door. Continuing the serene colorway of the bath, natural rift cut white oak was chosen for the vanity and the floating shelves above the toilet. A white quartz for the countertop, has a small reflective pattern like the polished chrome of the fittings and hardware. Natural curved shapes are repeated in the arch of the faucet, the hardware, the front of the toilet and shower column. The rectangular shape of the tile is repeated in the drawer fronts of the cabinets, the sink, the medicine cabinet, and the floating shelves. The shower column was selected to maintain the simple lines of the fittings while providing a temperature, pressure balance shower experience with a multi-function main shower head and handheld head. The dual flush toilet and low flow shower are a water saving consideration. The floating shelves provide decorative and functional storage. The asymmetric design of the medicine cabinet allows for a full view in the mirror with the added function of a tri view mirror when open. Built in LED lighting is controllable from 2500K to 4000K. The interior of the medicine cabinet is also mirrored and electrified to keep the countertop clear of necessities. Additional lighting is provided with recessed LED fixtures for the vanity area as well as in the shower. A motion sensor light installed under the vanity illuminates the room with a soft glow at night. The transformation is now complete. No longer an ugly duckling and source of unhappiness, the new bathroom provides a much-needed respite from the couples’ busy lives. It has created a retreat to recharge and replenish, two very important components of wellness.

A stunning sanctuary to wake up to providing a lovely beginning to each day. Clean lines with stunning lighting details and interesting illusions and reflections in the shower glass help add a fun element in this principal bath.
